I'd like for Ray to be drunk during broadcasts. It wouldn't hurt his ability to diagnose the game and would be hilarious.
Well said.I liked Rob Ray as a Player
I laughed at his ESPN Commerical
I loved him as a competitor
I admire his work in the community
I enjoy his ability to take the temperature of a game in between benches
I like him as a guest on WGR
I don't enjoy listening to his color commentary
He'd go on and on about how invisible Greg O'Renko seemed all game, despite Mikhail actually playing in Rochester that night.I'd like for Ray to be drunk during broadcasts. It wouldn't hurt his ability to diagnose the game and would be hilarious.
I met Rob Ray for the first time in the very early 1990s while he was a Rochester call-up rooming with Bill Houlder at the Holiday Inn on Niagara Falls Blvd. Great guy then, great guy now. I love that he calls Buffalo home. I could go on. I've run into him a few times these last three years and he's still a quality guy.I like Rob Ray and there are plenty of people around here that also do.Ray has been the kind of guy that would chat with you all night at a pub or any function really and has for many years around this area making many friends..
This is why we get people like Ray and Peters 'representing' us, and why Buffalo doesn't have nice things.I like Rob Ray. His comments on the game and analysis don't bother me at all. He reminds me of Buffalo and sounds like I'm sitting in the local gin mill listening to a guy yelling at the tv.

I live in Raleigh and we have John Forslund who is absolutely AWSOME to listen to and is by far one of the most neutral commentators, even when calling a Hurricanes game. He respects the other team, is animated when the opponents score and compliments the other teams on fine play.
Then there is the color guy Tripp Tracey. Jesus Jumping Christ.......this guy is cringe worthy. He has said things that we have to rewind just to make sure we heard it right.
He will get on a roll and discuss the current foods he is eating or has made. Complete receipes....down to the cook times.....on air.....during a game....
He locks onto a comment and that's all we hear for the next 5 games......until someone corrects him. He made the comment that "he's playing like someone gave him a shot of INSULIN" someone finally mentioned it might be ADRENALIN.
He talked about Cam Wards groin and the things he did to his groin to prep for the upcoming season and games.......**shudder**
John F. has many times had to rein him back to kept him from crossing the line. He talked about his girlfriend and the date they had and how the night ended, JF jumped in and told him if he wanted to have other dates with her he might want to keep certain things private.
Ray is excellent.
