SHAAAUGHT!!! Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I'm pretty sure Harry's contract was up at the end of last season. Has there been any word if he is coming back, or are they going to look for a replacement? I wouldn't mind seeing someone else do color commentary with Rick. RJ and Harry never seemed to gel. Too many times there was just dead air in between whistles, or Harry was giving us the time left or the shot count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing as Jauron - nice nice guy but brutal on gameday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 He gives u something to laugh at besides the Sabres some nights? If nothing else, Rob Ray constantly picking on Rick and Harry for being old is pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 He gives u something to laugh at besides the Sabres some nights? I think that like most coaches, Neale simply understands the game, including the little things that make the difference between winning and losing, better than most players. I also like his mannerisms and his humor as well as the way he interacts with RJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and actually I think this is a case of the devil you know's better than the one you don't..Who would they be willing to pay that they would bring in and would be an upgrade?

I also like his mannerisms and his humor as well as the way he interacts with RJ. You would like him. If he understands the modern game, he shows almost zero inclination to share that understanding with the audience. His lowlight last season was saying the reason Craig Rivet was so fired up after scoring the very late tying goal against San Jose on February 13 was because he had scored on his former team. Enough said. Just brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawerchuk Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I think Harry should go back to HNIC. Nothing personal, I just don't really like his insight or lack thereof. Never realized how much I missed Lorentz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was bummed when I heard that he was retiring. I know there is no excuse for not knowing the name, but him and RJ were quite the team. There was life, there was excitement to each broadcast.

repster Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Harry? What about RJ? He hasn't even said if he's coming back yet. To me that's the more important question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you might have been referring to "That's the best shot you've had this year Danny." I can't imagine Harry is too popular with some of the players. Last year a player got hit in the nads with a stick and Harry joked about it. Just seems like a jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I remember reading that RJ may retire if Neale ended up leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
