GDT Nashville Predators @ Buffalo Sabres - Rick Jeanneret Banner Ceremony 6:30

[SwampD]

Looks like we'll get to see it!

Just looked at the ESPN+ app and the time says 6:30. Pretty cool. Fingers crossed.

Some stuff to watch to get you excited.

If I can’t get home in time to watch the ceremony will I be able to listen on Audacy app on my phone or does the app not cover live games?

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Thanks for getting us started @SwampD.

A momentous occasion, indeed.

MUST WIN!!

GO SABRES!!

RJ Day!!! The old man gets his just reward for 51 years of exemplary service to the whole Buffalo & Hockey Community. I couldn't be happier for him. He'll be missed and we'll be able to send him our Goodbyes. Plus a game with a full house. 1st time for that in what seems like forever. Hopefully the team plays up to it's recent standards and the crowd gets into it. It'll be great for the young guys on this team to feel the power of a full house screaming for them. 

LETS GO BUFFALO!!!

Anything less would have been a sin. Thanks to Sabres fans for showing up.

I will be boarding a Southwest flight at 6:50 for a 7:20 departure. 
 

If ESPN+ covers it I hope I can stream it later.  
 

I hate missing this.   MUST WIN!!!

Let's do it for RJ. The man has been calling Sabres games my entire life. I wish we could have gotten him one more playoff series 😞

Thanks for everything RJ!!!

Like all the Sabre alum ... he deserves a cup as much as anyone.  Hopefully, the Sabres will get him one in his retirement.  Hopefully, the Sabres will get us all one.

We all know if Rick is alive and we're playing for a cup, he's coming back

[Mustache of God]

In my head I think we make the playoffs next year and he makes a comeback to call a few games.

You probably need to get the pre-game on WGR 550.

I heard about that from my siblings.  I was in college our of town when they all went to that game.  They called me at about 11:30 PM to tell me about it.

If the do a cup run in not too distant future I'd hope he comes back as a guest announcer

If your TV provider at home carries MSG, you can probably watch it on a mobile app with airplane wifi.

Thanks.  I don’t have MSG, just ESPN+   
 

Hoping to see it after the fact somehow.

As a last resort check YouTube. Someone, probably several people, will record it from their seat and post it.

The Sabres should record it and archive it on their website.  
 

I will be boarding during the ceremony.  Unbelievable.  Mrs Punch just told me to relax about it and don’t drive her crazy.
