  1. I know I’m late, watching at a bar, but if our goal was taken away so should there’s of been.
  2. Happy wife, happy life! Whoever writes it first gets the honor of picking the style, format, content, or lack thereof.
  3. Dunleavy is currently the play by play voice for the Buffalo Sabres on MSG Western New York and WGR 550 radio in Buffalo. From 2016 until 2022, Dunleavy rotated with Hall of Fame announcer Rick Jeanneret, who was to retire after the 2016–17 season. Rick changed his mind about retiring despite the agreement he and the Sabres signed with Dunleavy, leaving Dunleavy to work on a year by year time table with the hope of eventually taking over as was offered by the NHL franchise. To partially compensate, Dunleavy's role was also expanded to include filling in as studio host for Brian Duff when not substituting for Jeanneret. Dan was about to call his third season of Toronto Maple Leaf radio play by play on The FAN590 and TSN1050 in the 2013-14 NHL season, when Buffalo approached him about taking over for Jeanneret. Dunleavy accepted, mainly because of his concerns about being split between the two Toronto stations, each owned by two of Canada's biggest multimedia conglomerates (Bell Media and Rogers Communications), both of whom also held ownership stakes in the Leafs.[3] The Sabres signed Dunleavy to a five-year contract that expires in 2018; Dunleavy has turned down other offers during his time with Buffalo and remains in negotiations for a contract extension.[4] On May 9, 2021, unsure of whether or not he would return to the Sabres, he posted a potential farewell message in the event that he did not renew his contract.[5] The Sabres publicly stated that they were interested in renewing Dunleavy's agreement.[6] Since the last update, Dan has renewed once again as the voice of the Buffalo Sabres indefinitely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Dunleavy Dunleavy was born in Toronto and grew up in Georgetown, Ontario. His radio career started in Welland, Ontario in 1985 at CHOW country radio. He is an alumnus of Niagara College, where he was classmates with Rick Jeanneret's son, Chris Jeanneret. Dan adopted 2 rescue dogs, Bandit & Timmy, and resides in Eden, New York. He met his wife, Brenda during a Sabres broadcast where she was the graphics coordinator/operator for MSG Network.
  4. Yup, I was just expecting it, honestly. Avs were too. I think many of the Sabres did also. I kind of hoped they would score another goal or two, but they hardly even had any shots on that bad goalie Dude, the whole team was "out" that period
  5. I guess I was too drunk and shocked to notice
  6. Someone hurt? Maybe a trade in the works?
  7. Well, we are open to suggestions. I mean what problem do you have with the GDT format?
  8. I remember back in the 80's NBC experimented with having games with no broadcasters at all. Did not last, but I was fine with it. I actually don't listen to Rob and Dan. I turn the volume down. I'm a hockey guy, I know what is going on. They are both not good. Terry P just does not fire people. He is just happy being the owner, which is fine. I'm glad he kept the team in Buffalo. I'll take him over an owner like Jerry Jones, who is successful, but kind of maniacal. In Sabreland there is a lack of passion for winning. The Avs game was lost when it went to 4-1 and there wasn't really any desperation at all. It was like, "Oh well, let's move on and maybe try to win next game." If there was a serious winning culture here there would of been some fall out from that pretty horrible, and embarrassing loss, but it seem there was no embarrassment. The broadcast team is just a manifestation of the lack of caring. Why rock the boat when everything is going so well?
  9. Hey, gotta have goals in life! 🤣
  10. Man, it's not easy being a Sabres fan. 😩 God bless them. But oh this is painful sometimes
  11. Ut oh! We better get back on the ball here The haters must be feeling good 🙃
  12. Anyone know the trivia answer? Forsburg maybe?
  13. They heard you. Back on attack!
  14. Maker is red. He literally is so light skinned he is red. Not criticizing, just saying
  15. Did Benson look at someone wrong again?
  16. Good forecheck and pass by NAK
  17. Come on, that's got to count
  18. On Lafferty: “He’s doing OK, so it could be one those shorter things,” Ruff said following Monday’s practice in KeyBank Center. Meanwhile, other injured Sabres are progressing. Ruff said defenseman Mattias Samuelsson, who has missed the last eight games with a lower-body injury, started skating again Friday. “Don’t have a timeline, but the fact that he’s back on the ice, he continues to show some progress,” Ruff said. Ruff said winger Jordan Greenway, who has missed the last seven games with a mid-body injury, skated Monday morning. “We’ll just see how he’s feeling after he gets a couple of the skill skates, or skates that initially get you going to see when or if we can get him back in practice,” he said. Greenway recently underwent a procedure that wasn’t surgery. Ruff said they don’t know if it helped him. “That’s why he’s back on the ice, just to see whether he feels better or something further will have to be dealt with,” he said. Entering Tuesday’s game against old friend Casey Mittelstadt and the Colorado Avalanche, rookie Tyson Kozak is the Sabres’ only extra forward. He took reps Monday on the fourth line. Kozak, who was recalled following Friday’s game, sat out Saturday’s 3-0 road loss to the New York Islanders. Ruff said the fourth trio of center Peyton Krebs, Beck Malenstyn and Nicolas Aube-Kubel played well in Saturday’s loss. Kozak, 21, likely must wait to make his NHL debut. “They were in on three or four opportunities,” Ruff said of the line. “I thought there puck play was good inside the game, and I think that’s where he fits on our team. So we’ll go through the first game, we’ll evaluate and see where he’s at. “I know what he brings, the energy, and I think he’s the type of guy that helps lifts other player with just his infectious work ethic. So there’s always a chance, but we’ll evaluate that from game to game. ”https://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-sam-lafferty-sidelined-week-to-week-mattias-samuelsson-jordan-greenway-progressing-from-injuries/
