I remember this game well. Only playoff game I've ever been to. What an atmosphere and RJ's call was fantastic as usual

What a loss for the hockey community. The greatest there ever was and probably the greatest there will ever be. A master of his craft. So glad I got the opportunity to meet him at his signing at Dave & Adams last year and to get the chance to thank him for all the memories. Rest in paradise RJ

Love this topic and enjoy reading all the stories. Have "met" a lot of players by going to the fan event things the team has hosted throughout the years. Most of the time it's just "Hello (player signs autograph), Thank you" A few of the more notable and friendly guys were Gare, Barnes, Gratton and Pominville. Pommer was years ago when the slug jerseys just came out. I hate them now as they wore on me in the wrong way but I was wearing my new Pominville jersey. Got an autographed picture and he asked if I wanted my jersey signed too. Stupid me says oh no thanks I just got this and then I'll never wear it again. It now sits in my closet where it has for a good 15 years untouched. Oops. Met Hasek a few months back at a signing at Dave & Adams. Had an old team yearbook. As I'm standing there he preceded to leaf through it and was talking about his old teammates that were on each page. My wife actually took a pic of him holding the sharpie with this huge smile on his face. When I walked away one of the employees even commented about how I not only got him to sign it but he read it too haha. He really took his time with everyone which was awesome for such a high stature NHL'er. Andrew Peters was the opposite. Loved him on his TV show and on the radio. He wasn't really that friendly but maybe just having a bad day. It happens. Seemed like he had a million places he would've rather been. Probably the case with most of them. Missed autograph jersey #2 happened last year at the fan fest. We knew Warrener was going to be there. Was going to take my jersey just in case. Decided not to and of course ended up meeting him. Told him I was kicking myself for not bringing it with me. Really nice guy. Said something about moving back to town or that he would be here more often so maybe next time. Hoping he's at this year's event again so I can make up for that. Talked to Darryl Shannon that same day. Also very personable. Had a quick chat about the goatheads coming back. Said it was a great look and he was also happy the team decided to do that. Those are my silly stories but figured I'd chime in on here for once. Go Sabres!
