I wanted to rip my ears off listening to the Sabres vs. the Rags. I can't stand either team but it's the playoffs so I have to take hockey where I can get it. I was listening to it on NHL Radio from the Sabres side and their play by play guy drove me nuts with his "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL" like it was a freakin soccar match!

4/26/2007 7:36:18 AM

oh come one the sabres announcer is awesome, he is one of the better play by play announcers and he gets into the game, your just mad the sabres scored 5 goals

4/26/2007 11:56:21 AM

Rick Jeanneret is just terrible. I'll take kaiton gargling marbles anyday to that melodramatic crap.

4/26/2007 1:13:27 PM

Let's see if Gus Johnson would announce a hockey game.

4/26/2007 1:17:25 PM

^^he calls the game well and has emotion, your an idiot

4/26/2007 1:30:49 PM

Sam Rosen & JD for the win (I miss JD). Too bad Dolan fired Marv, he was GOLD on the radio...

I like Doc Emrick too...

[Edited on April 26, 2007 at 1:34 PM. Reason : p.s. - Jagr looked a bit tight last night...]

4/26/2007 1:33:53 PM

Chuck Kaiton called the empty netter to win the cup with less emotion than that jackass called the first goal of the series in the 2nd round.

Rick Jeanneret is the Jim Ross of hockey announcers.

OH MAH GAWD, KING! RYAN MILLER HAS MADE A SAVE BETTER THAN ALL OF KEN DRYDEN'S AND PATRICK ROY'S COMBINED! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE, GEEEE GOLLYYY!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAA, very nice. Is Forslund gonna be announcing any more on Versus?

4/26/2007 2:44:37 PM

Forslund sucks as an annoucer

4/26/2007 3:29:05 PM

Is that why he always gets hired by the national networks to do playoff games, while Jeanneret is stuck on radio?

4/26/2007 3:33:53 PM

Well said Bandit
^^you're an idiot

4/26/2007 3:36:34 PM

forsland ftw.

4/26/2007 3:42:21 PM

no because RJ rather announce to fans like enjoy his style, rather then a bunch of rednecks who are still pissed they didn't make the playoffs

4/26/2007 4:54:11 PM

I think Forslund's calling the Detroit game tonight, not sure though.

Back to sports, the ducks looked pretty solid in their game against the nucks

4/26/2007 6:29:18 PM

they did look good, but keep in mind vancouver just came off of a 7 gamer so they were probably a little tired

4/26/2007 6:43:08 PM

thats a good point, who do you all got tonight, ottawa or nj, i know you all just love brodeur lol

4/26/2007 7:00:58 PM

holy fuck

4-0 OTT

[Edited on April 26, 2007 at 7:41 PM. Reason : forsland is with detroit/sanjose]

4/26/2007 7:41:09 PM

yup watching the san jose - detroit game now. san jose up 2-0, let's keep it goin!!!

nice to hear Forslund tonight.

mshaul, why you hatin on like everything? your special week or what? Forslund isn't the most energetic/emotional broadcaster but I think he's pretty good. Know's his stuff and doesn't say retarded shit....even though tripp tracey tries to throw him off

I could care less. I already said that I hate both teams.



W--T--F New Jersey!!! I didn't hear the game because I was playing tennis but at least they came back at the end to make it look respectable. Had Patty been in and Marty not been a clown then we could have pulled out the W. Oh well. Six more games to go. I make no bones about the fact that I really like Ottawa and Emery is a beast in net.

that's funny, there are people in raleigh that are from up north

regardless, who exactly are you calling a redneck?

4/26/2007 10:05:25 PM

he is calling canes fans rednecks because forslund is announcing, or something like that

he acts like the typical buffalo fan doesn't live in a subaru brat behind a tim horton's, scavenging the leftover timbits

let him have his fun though

i mean we knew the coyote was never gonna actually catch the roadrunner but it was fun to watch him fail every single time

4/26/2007 10:45:08 PM

nice try guys forsland is ok but so is RJ, yall started it, and no i never lived near a tim hortons, i prefer dunkin donuts, lets stick to the hockey, let the trash talking go when yall are in the playoffs, ok?

4/26/2007 10:52:03 PM

jesus motherfuckin' christ, ms, will you shut the fuck up with your shit talking!?! goddamnit, if you're going to talk shit, at least have a fucking championship to back it up.

even if the sabres win the cup, it won't make up for the fact that daddy didn't hug you enough.

4/26/2007 11:29:21 PM

sabres are pathetic, worst power play ive ever seen

4/26/2007 11:32:07 PM

i don't believe i was trash talking there, i said stick to hockey, and responded to what yall said about me, lets see if yall can stick to the topic, the sabres on in the playoffs the canes are not

hahaha. ok wanna stick with hockey? I'm glad detroit lost tonight. They probably have more bandwagoners than all other teams combined. i'm def pullin for san jose for this series.

4/27/2007 12:06:51 AM

^thanks new guy, i had no idea that comment had nothing to do with hockey.

And detroit has LOST bandwagoners over the past 3-4 years, and theyve gone to Carolina, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Anaheim, and San Jose.

"Bloomberg Blows Off Brown Over Bet Posted by: Stefan Mychajliw, Reporter Created: 4/23/2007 10:20:32 PM Updated: 4/25/2007 7:28:31 AM Big Apple Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office blew off Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown when he tried to place a friendly wager over the Sabres-Rangers playoff series. That is according to Mayor Brown. 2 On Your Side's Stefan Mychajliw: "What was the response from the Mayor of New York's office when you tried to make this bet?" Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown: "The response was a little chilly. We think it might have some indication of what kind of faith they have in their hockey team. We on the other hand are very proud and very confident in betting on the Buffalo Sabres." Normally Mayors from opposing cities place friendly food wagers over a playoff series. For example, Mayor Brown betting 50 pounds of chicken wings with Mayor Bloomberg betting 50 pieces of cheesecake. Mychajliw: "Do you think the fans should get a little fired up over this?" Mayor Brown: "I think the fans should get very fired up. I think the fans should really be thunderous when the Rangers come into town and have to face the Sabres." 2 On Your Side called Mayor Bloomberg's office in New York City to talk about blowing off the bet. A staff member asked to see a copy of Mayor Brown's statement, which you can read here: "Earlier today, my staff contacted New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's staff to discuss waging a bet on the upcoming NHL Eastern Conference Semi-Final playoff series between the Buffalo Sabres and the New York Rangers. Unfortunately, Mayor Bloomberg's staff declined to accept our offer to place a "friendly" wager on the playoff series. I hope Mayor Bloomberg's reluctance to wage a bet is not a sign of his lack of confidence in the Rangers' chances against the Sabres. As a native of Queens, but now a 31-year resident of Buffalo, I was disappointed the Mayor of the state's largest city wouldn't engage in a wager against the leader of the state's second largest city. At the beginning of the NHL playoffs, three New York State-based teams were in, but soon only one will remain and I’m confident it will be the Sabres. Well, a bet or not, I'm looking forward to the Sabres' eventual victory over the Rangers. Go Sabres!" This is the response from Bloomberg's office, word for word: "Mayor Bloomberg has only the highest praise for what Mayor Brown is doing in Buffalo. Norwood – I mean 'nor would' – we ever mention other memorable postseason games that Buffalo lost to a New York team. But we simply can’t go making friendly food wagers every time one of our pro teams enters the postseason. After all, there are only about 18,000 restaurants in New York City." -Stu Loeser, Spokesman for Mayor Bloomberg"

4/27/2007 1:08:52 AM

Rick Jeanneret is just a classic for Buffalo though. We grew up with him therefore love him- and comeon- Buffalo sucks- what else do we have to get excited about? Snow?





Don Cherry was the greatest ever though; Hockey Night in Canada and Rock Em Sock Em's, can't beat that.

4/27/2007 9:38:48 AM

I finally took some time to read through old posts on here:

Holy Crap- I am beginning to see why everyone on here thinks people from Buffalo are assholes.

I feel like we are ill represented by a mere few complete and total dumbasses.

Thanks,

By the way: Sabres play Rangers tonight- lets see if we can go two for two!

^alright when I first came on this board to talk about hockey, said a go sabres and then the criticizism rained down on me, this is the tww not carolina hurricanes.com, just because we are in nc doesn't mean im not suppose to support my team, now i know there were a lot of drunk obnoxious fans down here last year, but it takes obnoxious carolina fans to set them off, now i don't care if you root for every team the sabres play, just gives us stuff to argue about, ^and that wasn't directed all at you, sorry

4/27/2007 10:43:12 AM

No one set off the Buffalo fans. They were obnoxious when they arrived. That was the problem.

I don't give a shit if you like the Sabres, but if you're going to be a dick about it, I'm going to be a dick back, and when you say shit that's unsubstantiated, I'm going to prove you wrong. It's that simple.

BTW, jules, Don Cherry is signed on to do some NBC broadcasts with Brett Hull as well as his normal CBC duties this year.

GO NUCKS!

4/27/2007 10:59:13 AM

^well right back at ya, you all were dicks when we made a GO SABRES thread last year, and when you post stupid shit im gonna prove you wrong too, just don't complain about me doing shit that you do yourself

4/27/2007 11:06:13 AM

and hockeyguy, sorry. in my anger directed at buffalo guy, i missed your laughter. my apologies.

I've made it pretty clear on here over the years I'm a Rangers fan and no one gets ticked off and talks shit to me. Maybe it's because I'm not an all out prick to all the WhalerCanes fans. When it comes to the Mets [versus Braves] though... well that is a different story.

p.s.- I like Drury. Played against him one year as a kid in Connecticut even though he is 4-5 years older.

he said the only people that wear crappy face plastic facemasks are those French and Euporean people, and then called the guy from Kids in the Hall a faggot. haha, he meant it as a joke, like, oh, ma, stop acting like a fag, but the guy was actually gay. I thought it was awesome, I would have given D.Cherry a raise.

4/27/2007 2:34:06 PM

^alright if your a rangers fan what do you expect tonight for the game, i thought yall played really good right off the bat but then just lost it towards the end of the first and the rest of the game, though i ofcourse want the sabres to win, jagr has to get more involved to give you the offensive zone time you had in the first ten minutes last game
