Rick had moved to TV. The Sabres didn't do the simulcast for those two seasons (95-96 and 96-97), although Lanny remembers Rick's TV call being available on FM radio. A Wikipedia page has Pete calling the games on WWKB-AM in 95-96 and then on WHTT-FM in 96-97. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Buffalo_Sabres_broadcasters

I have a day off, woke up way too early and coffee is fueling a shift by shift examination of Eichel's play last night. I'll have my report in a bit. I refuse to believe Eichel isn't hurting. He's being easily moved off the puck and put on the ice, and he doesn't have that so-called burst. The man is not weak or lacking in speed. Something's up. If he's not hurt, we have big-time problems. In a word, through two period, the captain has been uneven.

Look to the cookie.

Bump. Show your faces.

I'd say closer to 24 months. Things tailed off starting in January 2019.

Sodie pops in the press box?

Pete Weber. He called games on radio in 95-96 and 96-97. He's a terrific broadcaster and went on to do Predators games. I recall Pete saying, with a standing ovation ongoing before the final faceoff at the Aud, "This is the Aud the way everyone will remember it." Chills. He also had an awesome call of Plante's OT winner in '97.

When asked how long he intended to own the team, Terry motioned toward his children in the front row and said something like, "You're looking at the answer right here." (Very unsure of the wording, but that was the gist of it.) Two of his kids were adults then and are now 10 years older. Let's go.

Absolutely. Which is why an owner shouldn't be "running" anything without the hockey chops necessary to do so.

I'm having trouble finding the full presser.

I bet they lose us when they cash their checks.

You're BARKING up the wrong tree. Miss ya Clipper.

You asked about his headspace. It would have been on you.

We can't have anything nice. Screw you, hockey gods.

All linesmen look like the linesman from Goon.

That's a Sammer for sure.

Eichel FO% by season 1 — 41 2 — 38.9 3 — 41.5 4 — 47 5 — 46.9 6 — 53.4

These goals are shocking, shocking good.

"...in a 12:30 start."

You can't do dat.

Devils answer Sabres' hot start

Bad Dahlin, good Dahlin.
