PASabreFan Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Another reminder of how good we used to have it. He was a masterful host. Sabres Twitter makes it official. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreams Burn Down Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 I always loved the banter between him and Mike Robitaille on Hockey Hotline. They were good foils for one another. In my youth, I also enjoyed him on WIVB as a sportscaster. My condolences to his family and friends. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_sauve28 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I remember it very differently. I thought Robittaille held him in contempt and didn’t try and really hide it. It was a long time ago but that’s how I remember it. And then, if I recall, Blessing left the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I liked him and what Empire Sports Network was. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexLuthor871 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) RIP -- he spoke at length with WGR just recently, the day of the Eichel trade to give a Vegas perspective. I remember him fondly at WIVB; good broadcaster, and for awhile I got a kick listening to him contribute on Brent Musburger's VSIN radio network when it was on Sirius.

Taro T Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Bummer. IIRC, he was pretty fond of the ponies. Hopefully there are some good tracks up there. May he RIP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
