No one works at WGR after 7pm. I'm sure the Sabres social media people are home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skooby Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 I’m super sad about this, I thought Ted Darling couldn’t be replaced but RJ did it. We lost a great one, GD it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Balls Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Can you change the title, maybe? I can't believe I just saw him on TV, joining the guys at one of the last Sabres games. This is surreal to me. This one hurts. No warning or anything. RIP Rick and thoughts and prayers to Cookie and their kids. 😢 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanSlinky39 Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Best to ever do it. RJ's calls had as much to do with propelling my love of hockey as anything. Legitimately saddened by this news. RIP, Legend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 We knew Rick was declining a bit, but public perception didn't have him appear this frail. 81 is not as old as it used to be, but this is very saddening. Rip RJ, we'll win one for you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldseatsaud Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Witness both Ted and Rick. So sad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 My Uncle, who has been a Sabres STH since the inaugural season and RJ are the reasons I became a Sabres Fan to begin with. My Uncle passed away this past Saturday and now RJ Tonight. This sucks 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 RIP to the voice in my head when I think hockey highlights. I had really hoped the Sabres would get to the playoffs this year and give him a chance to announce another playoff game but I guess he’ll watch from heaven with Ted Darling 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Lebowski Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 That's too bad. It makes me feel all that much better that he was able to see his name raised to the rafters and get such a great send-off to end his broadcasting career. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
