I'm listening to the radio feed and have to call Dan Dunleavy out. This is the second time that I've heard him steal shtick from the long-dead Ted Darling.

For those of you too young, Ted Darling was the original Sabres pbp man. He was from HNIC, his diction was impeccable and he was a bit of a know-it-all. He was such a know-it-all that he claimed to even know the origin city of the person who caught the puck when it was shot into the crowd.

Dan, we know you're copying Ted's shtick, not thinking that there are fans who knew anything about it. It's a cheap copy. Get your own gimmicks, don't pass Ted Darling's off as your own.

Sheesh!🤬

A souvenir for a lucky fan from the Sloan Kiwanis Club. 

Good times.

Always hear it as an homage when Dunleavy does that rather than a rip off.

And personally like hearing that "blast from the past."

(As a kid, never could figure out how he knew where everybody in the crowd was from.  Didn't catch on to the joke until later.  D'oh!)

Last year, I heard Jack Edwards try to cop the "Top shelf where mama hides the cookies." It didn't work. You don't get anywhere in life trying to pay "homage" to legends. You get called out as a cheap imitator. You have to be original and carve your own legend.

Rick said he got it from Larry Playfair.

There is definitely something wrong with Jack Edwards.  Haven't heard him cry about a single call against the B's nor any missed calls against the Sabres.  When you lose your calling card, something's off.

He just knows they're on MSG, he's being mindful of the audience?

Doubt it.  When he's done national broadcasts in the past that the B's were in he was still his bean lovin' homer see no B evil self.  He's not well.

Did he have complications from his prostate cancer treatment over the summer?

Honest question - is the Bruins pbp guy recovering from an illness or something? I'm admittedly a noob, I know he's been there a long time, but his speech is super slurred?

Unsure
