I got a better source. Cupcake's on the Twitter.

In an odd twist of fate, the Sabres farm team went on to win the Calder Cup in 1973 at the Aud.

Playing loose with no pressure does wonders. My automated response to all of these threads: see me in November.

sabres.com says to expect some kind of final tribute to Rick after the game. I'd like to see this happen while he rapels to the ice a la Sabretooth.

How do you feel about being hypnotized?

A story about Rick on sabres.com leading up to RJ Night said he called his first Sabres game on October 10, 1971, as the Sabres hosted the Pens to start the franchise's second season. But the Sabres' media guide for that season says Ted Darling, the voice of the Sabres, would do all games on the radio unless they were televised, and then Rick would take over on the radio. The home opener was not televised. If the media guide is right, Rick's first call was in Boston on October 14, and his first game at the Aud was against the Leafs on November 21. Another mystery is whether Rick has, indeed, called a hockey championship in Buffalo. He did Bisons road games in 1969-1970. The Calder Cup was won on the road that season. I know some of our posters go back that far. @PromoTheRobot? Then there's this question that exists only in my head. Did Rick ever call a game from home? I know Ted did, during the Blizzard of 77. But I swear there was a night I got the distinct impression Rick wasn't at the Aud. It was never talked about as far as I can remember. I wouldn't be surprised if he did it but didn't want it advertised because of his respect for and deference to Ted, which exists to this day. Have at it. Any others?

"I'm gonna get killed out there."

Lindy's not wrong. He's railing against the misuse of technology. You put your gizmos down when dinner is served.

Fingers crossed! We need help!

My alternative was a snowy CHCH. Those few times they showed the Leafs at the Aud... oh man. Amazing.

My dad and I were at the 89 Open there. One of the holes has an elevated tee. We stood at the bottom of the hill about 50 yards below the tee. We saw two balls fly out but had no idea who had hit them. Down the hill come Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson side by side. Thrill of a lifetime.

Rick sounds like he could go on forever. Also... if the NHL called penalty shots by the book it would be a better game.

Pretty sure that's a picture of a picture about to be taken. And even my peers down at the Groves don't say invalid anymore.

Is Marv guy?

When losses matter... Taro nailed it. The season needs to end. Whistles are wetted. Moistly, even. We need the context of a real season. Next step. That said I fully understand the sentiment of wanting these games to go on.

No, he didn't. He skated away.

I took the tweet to be a major hint that he thinks the Sabres are adding a POHO, and possibly it's Lindy. Let's be rational. Micro vs macroanalysis. Some nice wins in garbage time doesn't obviate a need to add even more talent to the front office. A POHO doesn't have to mean Adams' plan is out the window.

His hair's gonna be so damned perfect jn postgame. Petey tweets that Lindy would make a good POHO.

Dahlin channeled Hammond channeling Miller with a WTF wave.

Wig wams!

No. PAAAAAASSS! @shrader
