woods-racer Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Wasn't a fan of May. If Biron is more insightful than he has been on the instigators he will wind up being a wash with May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Wasn't a fan of May. If Biron is more insightful than he has been on the instigators he will wind up being a wash with May. He is but Peters and Rivet won't stop giving them a hard time long enough to actually listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trettioåtta Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 May struggled to get out a sentence most times he opened his mouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I thought May was pretty bad at times. Me too. I'm confident Marty will be a real upgrade. My preference would've been for Marty to have become the color guy, with Razor at rinkside as the 3rd guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 My preference would've been for Marty to have become the color guy, with Razor at rinkside as the 3rd guy. Easy now- make sure he can excel at the farm club level before you bring him up to the big leagues. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallawaySabres Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 BN reports Biron will replace Brad May. I actually had lunch with Brad May when Buffalo was playing the Leafs in Toronto last year. He was with his dad on the parent trip and I told May that I thought Marty was doing an amazing job when he was on the radio. He then says to me....let's hope he doesn't do too good of a job or I might be out of one - whoops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radar Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Marty wears on you. Okay for small snippets but longer exposure is tiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookie1 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Supposedly May commutes to Buffalo for the games, he lives in California? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm going to miss Brad May's gigantic hands throttling the life out of tiny microphones. Excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 People actually liked May on the broadcast team? I am amazed by that. The guy constantly looked like a deer in headlights on camera and stringing together coherent thoughts seemed to be a challenge for him. I'm happy they're making this change. I don't mind Marty, and I think judging people by their accent is incredibly shallow. Marty seems to at least have a presence, which will be refreshing change to the black-hole of personality that May brought to the broadcast. I always got the feeling that May was there because he wanted to give it a shot. Marty has been working as an analyst/broadcaster for awhile now and the pre/post game show will be better.

That Aud Smell Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I thought May struggled, but was getting better at providing actual analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Great news! I like Biron, and when he did a few games last season i thought he did a real good job at providing entertainment and analysis. I do agree, on radio he is sometimes hard to listen to because he gets off topic so much and talks for long periods of time without truly making a point. But if you listen to that show, it's pretty much nonsense all day long with Peters and Rivet anyways so Biron kind of fits what they're looking for. I wasn't a big Brad May fan on the TV though. I don't think he really brought much to the broadcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I think he's well versed in analytics and for the most part his approach to his thoughts is at least thought out. Unlike the wind bag Peters and the ill begotten Rivet. So I'm good with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Marty seems so straight laced that I bet he never uses the Quebec slag swear words. I am brushing up on my french with my wife as instructor and that is where we started. If Marty gets worked up into a lather it will all flow out of him. It has to be in there somewhere. Now, that would be awesome to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 That sounded like English to me, with a fake French accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAud Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I thought May was pretty bad at times. Totally agree with this. May struggled with English quite a bit. It wouldn't shock me if you told me he was drunk some of the time on air. I hear Denis Lemieux every time. "You don't do dat. You do dat and you go to da box for two minutes. You feel great shame. Den you get free." I also agree with this...it's frequently with me when I hear him talk. I assume it'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
