All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
I know...he's just on vacation, but the replacements....stink The guy tonight started out so monotone I almost fell asleep.
Maybe I'm spoiled, but I'll be happy when Jeannerette returns.....until then it's like having sex with an ex-wife...it gets the job done, but it's not really fun

Jeanneret was supposed to be back tonight, WGR55 Brian Koziol even hyped up his return on the pre-game show I don't know why the Sabres just didn't ask his son who is Portland Pirates announcer who is the farm team of the Sabres to fill in for his dad. I mean his son Mark is going to take over for his dad sometime soon why not get his feet wet with letting him broadcast some Sabres games.
Either way, maybe it's me because I watch so many road broadcasts, but you kind of learn to just tune out the announcers anyways.
I'm the same way man. I'm focusing on the play and know enough of what I'm watching that I don't really hear or need to hear the guy - it's just kindof background noise after the first minute or two.
HDNet used to have games on Thursday and Saturday nights. They had a 2-3 minute feature called 'Sights and Sounds' where no one would talk. All you heard was the crowd, players yelling, the puck hitting the glass, and skates cutting the ice. It was absolutely wonderful - it was like being at a game.
Play-by-play isn't necessary with the great HDTV that games have now - it's only necessary for radio. Only when something happens outside of the view of the camera do we need to hear talk from 'the crew.'

I hear that but I love hearing RJ call a goal on Radio or TV.
