Mile High Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 This game just doesn't sound the same with out Rick calling it. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNRed Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I was surprised by how good Jim Lorentz sounded. And Mike Robitaille's color commentary was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I just wathed it on Center Ice, with the Rangers broadcast...was there any explanation as to why Jenerett wasn't there? BTW- IIRC, back in the olden days, Ted Darling used to do the games on television with Lorentz, while Jenerett and Robaitaille did the radio broadcasts. Lorentz has been doing Sabres games forever...not surprised to hear he did a good job doing play by play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 Wide Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Just had a taste of life after RJ and gotta say, i'm not looking forward to that day. Lorentz was ok, seemed like he got behind the play a lot though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 He was sick...dont know what,though. 849170[/snapback] Hope he didn't get what Ted Darling had in his later days. As an aside: Someone told me (can't remember who) Rick J used to down a bunch of beer before/during games when he did only radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorentz was ok, seemed like he got behind the play a lot though 849485[/snapback] Wasn't there a rumour, before last season, that Jenerett was going to retire? Then I heard, with the success of the team, he decided to hang on to see how far they would go... Yeah, it will be sad the day he makes his last call. I remember growing up, Ted Darling was "the man" for me. I hated listening to Rick on the radio...once Ted was gone though, and I was a little older, I really started to appreciate him a lot more.

Chilly Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Yeah, I remember that rumor as well. It'll be a sad day when he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Yeah, I remember that rumor as well. It'll be a sad day when he does. 849820[/snapback] Totally agree. As far as I am concerned, he is the best play by play guy in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
