wonderbread Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 the wings are sans The Mule. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/story/2009/10/09/sp-franzen-injury.html for the purposes of this matchup, i can't be upset to hear that he's out -- but the hockey fan in me wishes he hadn't blown out his knee. I agree 100% he is a beast. To bad he's out for an extended time. I enjoyed watching him play in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdexchange Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I had one shaped like a cheesburger, with plastic cheese, lettuce and tomato. It fit real nice under my pillow. I too wish I still had it. I think mom sold it in a garage sale :( http://cgi.ebay.com/...=item5635e18312 :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Not the same without my AM transistor radio. Remember those? I had one in bicentennial colors with a big '76 on the front. My brother used to dare me to lick the terminals of the 9 volt batteries that went in it. Wish I still had that radio... :( Oh the memories, wondering if Mom and Dad would find it under my pillow... ?can't remember his name, who was the Sabres announcer before RJ and Paul Weiland?

Are you referring to Ted Darling? Blew a lot of batteries falling asleep to Darling, then RJ calling the games. Will be a sad day when he finally hangs up the suspenders.

Do you mean Ted Darling? Although many people didn't like his play-by-play, I thought he had a great voice. His was the voice I heard in my head saying, "He shoots...he scores!" when I scored all those goals in street hockey...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of non-Sabres fans from outside this area didn't care for his style. I think it was because he sounded very "Canadian" - no, he didn't say, "Eh?" after every sentence, but he did pronounce Detroit as "De-troy-it". (Listen to "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot - there is a line, "In a musty old hall in De-troy-it they prayed; in the Maritime Sailor's Cathedral" - you'll get the idea.) Anyway, Ted was the voice that broadcast the great plays of the French Connection, Danny Gare, Ramsay and Luce... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 This is one of the games I had Buffalo scoring at least 3 in, in Eleven's poll. So I'm expecting a 3-1 game out of you, Buffalo! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphs mike Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Doesn't anybody ever want to go old school -- just turn off the lights (or dim your monitor) and listen to Rick?

Wish I still had that radio... :( I had a couple of transistors, back in the day of my reel to reel tape recorder/player. The transistor which got most use, and I wore out alot of batteries falling asleep to, was bright green. It had a strap that hung nicely over the top bunk bedpost and an earplug!

mphs mike Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 One last Ted memory - he always knew the hometown of the fan who caught a puck in the stands. He apparently had the same clairvoyance as the hostes of Romper Room, who knew the names of several boys & girls watching out in tv land. I listened to Ted for a few years before I figured out how he knew all those hometowns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
