True broadcasting legend......even if his voice is sometimes like nails on a chalkboard.

Hope he can make it through one final depressing season in Buffalo.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Well..... everything must end sometime..... Will be missed, a lot. Bye Rick.
You are not a hockey fan if you dislike Rick Jeanneret.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Now i wish Sabres could somehow make it to the play-offs.

 

[Martin Elz]

His voice makes games unwatchable.

 

[MartyOwns]

did he announce it? or did he bellow it out like some half-dead dinosaur being eaten alive by prehistoric mosquitos?

 

[JoVel]

I guess he was decent on his day but he hasn't been good enough to commentate ECHL games for several years now.

 

[njdevils1982]

did he announce it? or did he bellow it out like some half-dead dinosaur being eaten alive by prehistoric mosquitos?

*high five!*

and the sane population of the world all rose up and applauded with much satisfaction upon hearing of the glorious news!!!

see ya

A likeable homer. His calls on some of those 90’s Sabers line brawls are legendary

La-La-La-La-La-La-La-Laf-fontaine!!!!!

Stop, the Sabres are plenty unwatchable for better reasons.

I love RJ, I get why he annoys some and he’s definitely past his prime, but he loves his team as much as anyone possibly can and it’s been awesome growing up on that energy.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

We got some disrespect in here. Rick is a total legend.

 

[Sheppy]

I get that this guy is a legend, he was great, but holy tits he's completely shot at this point.

 

[North Cole]

We got some disrespect in here. Rick is a total legend.

Yeah it's crazy. Even if his voice isn't your cup of tea, no reason for people to be dicks about it ITT. No wonder most workplaces are toxic, can only imagine what these clowns say about their own co-workers.

Maybe he hung on a little too long, but we see thousands of people doing that in all professions. He was always classy, hope he enjoys his last season and retirement. Legendary broadcaster.

The last of the old school homers. You love this guy of you're a Sabres fan, but he was tough to listen to if you were on the other side.

Nah, Joe Bowen is still kicking.

Few others around, I'm sure, that have been at it for 35-40 years as well.

How long has Jack Edwards been in the booth? Nvm, only 16 years for him....he's still wet behind the ears compared with these guys.

"Razor" Reaugh is hitting the 25-season mark with Dallas this year, although it's primarily as the colour commentary instead of the pbp call.

Imagine if he and Kenny Albert were broadcasting partners.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Thank goodness. That awful voice. He has been done for over a decade! Enjoy retirement, well earned.

 

[Norwegianoiler]

But how will I know what the population of Pominville is now?

 

[Mattilaus]

yet another victim of Jack Eichel. Coach killer, GM killer, and now Announcer killer.

 

[FMichael]

His voice makes games unwatchable.

I've always liked it.

He's reaching Tom Wilson levels.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Fantastic play-caller. Good for him.
