Buffalo Rick Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I do not know how Rick will pronounce some of these names because I sure cannot even spell them. The two G guys expecially. Rick has been such a great part of the Sabres and his game calls are just fabulous. I have him right up there with the late great Dan Kelly as one of the best ever for calling games and making them exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 @ junkie-Living in Western NY, I conceed that the guy is an icon in this area, but I repectfully disagree. He is one of the most annoying in the business, too much over the top screaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Jeanneret is the voice of Bufffalo hockey. He's been there since Year Two and deserves to be there as long as he likes. Longest tenured announcer in the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 @radoran I agree. Doesn't mean you have to like him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 @radoran I agree. Doesn't mean you have to like him though. I like him 79 games a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy listening to him call the games (when they are not playing The Flyers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you like the biased and bland pens announcers?? I can't handle em, thank god for the mute button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 @Leach27 Not a huge fan of the Pens crew. One of my favs, but also guys that are almost universally hated is the Caps announcers. I find them knowledgeable, fair and entertaining. Laughlin is a great colour guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerrod Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Laughlin is a great colour guy.If you mean he sits in the box chewing crayons with Beninati, SPOT ON! His crying every time a Cap falls to the ice gets to be nauseating........Jeanneret can be annoying but he is at least knowledgeable of the game and he tries not to sound like a total homer all the time.

jammer2 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 @flyerrod I know many will disagree, but I find them fair in general. Always making comments like "wow, the Caps got away with one there". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the caps announcer I'm thinking of, then yah he's really annoying with a squeaky voice, seems to talk threw his nose. I picture him as 4'10 and overweight.

You need to have some wings in Buffalo and you might have a different opinion. Lotsa folks didn't like Gene Hart outside of Philly. Jeanneret is Buffalo's Hart. Like it or not.

canoli Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 nothing personal Sabres' fans but to me that guy's voice is just about the worst in the NHL. It seriously sounds like he's got a mouthful of ____ well let me try to be nice about it...like he's in the middle of gargling or something. Creeps me out every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
