IKnowPhysics Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Eichel to ReinhartSCOOORRRRRRRRRESSS This is a nice thing. I also like how Dan has been settling in. Duffer, of course, has been killing it- even did a great job for NHLN at the AAP game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) I think it was a perfect storm. He got cancer and kicked cancer's ass. The tank "worked" and Jack Eichel and Murray's moves and Rick has seen surprise runs deep into the playoffs before. The arrival of Russ Brandon is the wild card. Brandon's smart enough to know the value of Jeanneret to the brand. I don't know if Black was that smart. I've said it before. The only way he's coming out of that booth is in a body bag.

I was ready to give you some respect, but then you got greedy and demanded more. You're the message board equivalent of the billionaires you so detest. Enjoy your lack of respect!

SHAAAUGHT!!! Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 That avatar.......... You're welcome! :flirt: I've said it before. The only way he's coming out of that booth is in a body bag. At this point if RJ and his lovely wife are healthy, and the Sabres are competitive, I think this is the case. RJ seems like he truly enjoys the game, and he has a great seat to one of the best sports in the world for a team he loves. When they aren't a good team, he says it. When they are a good team, the man gets excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 The arrival of Russ Brandon is the wild card. Brandon's smart enough to know the value of Jeanneret to the brand. I don't know if Black was that smart. He was. http://sabres.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=679827 “We are very lucky to have such a deep and talented pool of broadcasters in the Sabres organization,” said Sabres President Ted Black. “RJ is a hall-of-fame talent and we are thrilled that he will be with us for three more years as he winds down his prolific career. We are also excited to bring on Dan, who is a proven play-by-play talent that we know will be a capable successor to RJ. Having an up-and-comer like Dan and a broadcasting legend like RJ behind the microphone will be a great one-two punch for our Sabres broadcasts in the coming years.” Bonus: here's a clip from Ted from an email exchange I had with him around that time, re: broadcasts. With regard to the specific comments about the talent in general and Rick calling fewer games, I appreciate that the situation creates both a challenge and an opportunity. The good news is that RJ seems to be energized by the reduced work load and, hopefully, that will prolong his career (and if I could spend some of TMP’s money to cryogenically freeze the dude and make him last forever, I probably would!) I am really glad RJ came up with that idea over lunch at Chef’s last summer…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loves the team so much he wouldn't mind, just hope he can call us to the stanley cup. He is one of the reasons I fell in love with this team, his passion for this team is like none. He touched the inner parts of my soul when I first heard him. Edited September 26, 2015 by Huckleberry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
