The Sabres are apparently on the way up, it would be good to create some synergy.  Like maybe a video of Blur's Song 2 during warmups and having the lyrics replaced the first time or two with Tuch screaming WOOOO! and then switching over to live camera of the crowd.  The WOOO would get the team up and rolling.  There's probably better stuff than that, but I like the idea of something that draws the crowd to the players on the team.

All well and good to do things like this that can create energy.  That said, winning creates energy, too.  Nothing draws in the fans like winning hockey games.  This team is on a great trajectory right now and the excitement level will only increase as the team continues to improve and become a serious contender for the Stanley Cup.  Winning cures all and this team is ready to make HUGE strides this off-season and coming season.  This is such a talented roster - hard not to be excited about this team going forward.

[Is tonight Rick's last call?]

I could see him filling in for a game or two over the course of a season.  It must be hard for RJ to leave.

Happy with the trade - even w/o the player.
