He's never been a physical specimen and to deal with his health past and the workload.......... we all, and so does he, have to accept the progression of life. At his point, it could be a very minor issue and within a month we'll never even talk about it again. But we have to accept the inevitable. RJ is a damn legend. There is nobody that can compare. I have to admit, Duffer jumping in without notice, he was pretty candid and knowledgeable. Dunleavy prepares for his games...... Dufffer stepped in without notice and did a hell of a lot better than Dunleavy. He didn't do too much play by play, which is understandable. But, he was candid and pretty comical with Rob. Very entertaining, in my opinion. Probably not the best combo for a full time staff, but still. Sabres fans don't need a play by play guy to explain the game, they just need a guy to break the monotony. Speaking for myself, RJ is a legend....a naturally gifted PBP guy like a McDavid or Dahlin player. You have it or your don't. Dunleavy is probably a nice guy, buy it's like trying to develop Justin Bailey or Nick Baptiste into a premier talent....some talent, but will never be very good, let alone great. Duffer being pressed into emergency service already showed me that he has much feel and talent than Dunleavy. I would like to see the Sabres use him for now, but I suspect that would create too many issues and controversy internally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I’ll happily defer to the docs here, but I wonder if RJ is on a med or a few meds for cardiac type issues. I know my dad, from time to time, gets his meds out of wack and it causes dizziness, occasional heart racing, and consequent anxiety/panic. God bless RJ! 1 hour ago, North Buffalo said: I cant resist... now that we know he is still kicking... but “I tell you Rick went down like a wet stack of dishes.” The old Playfair line — it was my signature forever before the upgrades.

darksabre Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Extremely relieved to wake up to good news about RJ today. I think most of us would consider him pretty close to family given we've probably heard more words from his mouth over the years than some of our actual family. He means a great deal to this city.

We are so far removed easterly that us and the tropical island of Newfoundland should be our own country, well maybe not country. A bit of historical info ... NS was seriously thinking of not joining Confederation. At the time we were the economic engine of Canada and the rest of you were a drain. Imagine that.
