Rumor: Rob Ray Retiring?

I’m sure Terry will spare no expense to make Sabres television coverage the envy of the NHL.

If this is true and Rayzor confided in John Scott, who then decided to leak the information, I will be surprised.  

I like Rayzor for the humor and the on ice stuff, Marty is a far better analyst.  

 

Hard to say who I would hire without hearing them on the air and understanding their approach to the job.  

Right. That's why Rayzor is basically the sideline reporter and Marty is in the booth.

My vote is for Pat LaFontaine.

Or get Biz/Whitney and let those guys go to town on this franchise live. They're tools,for sure, but Pegula deserves the smoke so let's just bring it to him.

I don't mind Rob Ray all that much, but if he is retiring, I'd look forward to someone new.  Just something new, ANYTHING new to keep my interest for a few games.

In true Pegula fashion the new hire will likely be much worse. Like historically bad. Maybe even the very worst on ice reporter of all time. It's literally possible because that's literally the state of the franchise since the day he bought the team.

But if this was a different franchise/owner I would likely agree with you

I’d be bummed to see him go. I know he ain’t perfect but he’s our idiot, and love him more for it.
