PASabreFan Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 My sources tell me Rick had a poached egg this morning with dry whole wheat toast. He didn't eat the yolk. For lunch he had a salad with mixed greens, chick peas, toasted (unsalted) almonds and one half tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and vinegar dressing. After a brisk, three mile walk in the sun this afternoon, complete with a bucket hat and SPF 60 sunscreen, he had a tall, cold glass of — water. Then he did the New York Times crossword puzzle, a really tough Sodoku and 20 one-handed pushups. As the last of the late April light fades, Cupcake is tucking him in. He'll be up at 5 for an organic avocado and strawberry smoothie to start his day, followed by pilates and meditation. Seriously... does anyone really see Rick retiring anytime soon, especially now?

Drunkard Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 He better not. I bought him a beer years ago at one of those Road Crew events in Raleigh and I made him promise me that he'd die in the Sabres broadcast booth if he turns out to just be some mere mortal. I think he's a highlander though, so we should be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 With things definitely looking up for the Sabres I really believe Rick will be around for a while to see how the next few seasons play out. He is just as big a fan as anyone and, like us all, are itching for Sabre playoff hockey. It's in his blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swedesessed Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 We all know it is coming but I don't want to think about the Sabres and Jeanneret not calling any games, the time is closer then ever, but I agree I think Rick will find a way to be a part of this even on a limited schedule. We just all need to enjoy every chance we get to hear the legend call games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuuuuuuuuu Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) The only way I can see Rick completely stepping away is after we win the cup. Have him announce the banner raising at the home opener the following season and call the game as a victory lap. I would love for the team to find ways to incorporate his voice into the gameday production a la Kate Smith in Philly. Any DJ's or sound engineers in the house that can mix him into the beginning of a goal horn / warm up song? (Maybe this can be a project for BOGO when he makes it to IR next season) Edited April 30, 2018 by Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
