    RJ has died….F

    I can’t believe it, GD it all.

    Rick Jeanneret, the legendary play-by-play voice of the Buffalo Sabres who became one of the franchise's biggest icons over his 51-year career behind the microphone, died Thursday night, the Sabres announced.

      Well this sucks. Growing up in Rochester in the 80’s and 90’s, we constantly had him on the radio. Circa 2005, I got a car with XM radio and I remember how happy I was when I could finally hear his voice again… Most of us still here on this site grew up with him so nothing I say is going to do him justice… I’m not usually one to get overly emotional about the deaths of celebrities that O never met but this one stings.

        Yeah, this is all too real. I got a lot of Ted Darling on TV, he was excellent & difficult to replace. RJ rocks.

                      The Sabres will be honoring RJ this Sunday at 5pm with a special event at KeyBank Center. It'll be a roundtable discussion with broadcasters and Sabres alumni. Admission is free and open to the public; tickets can be acquired on the team's website.

                      Can't make it there? MSG will be carrying the event live. Don't have MSG? Follow along on the team's social media channels.

                      David Coltrane(threatening John): Nobody's going to live that long, pal.
