@bridegnan09 Because he has more passion for the game than 90% of other announcers out there, and he seems to be one of the few with the mental capacity to actually call and follow the game in front of him. You know, like an actual ANNOUNCER. He makes each and every game that much better and more exciting with his call. That's why.
Not 100% sure, but it might have been Pete Weber...I am pretty sure that its from the closing of the Aud in '96 because of the horn, and Weber was doing radio for the Sabres at that time I think
That was Rick at the closing of the Aud in 96 ... you can find that here on YouTube if they haven't taken it down. It doesn't quite sound like Rick because he was holding back the tears because Ted Darling wasn't there to see it.
agreed.....Pete Weber was also the Sabres announcer at one point during the 90s and also did play-by-play for the Triple A Buffalo Bisons. He is a great announcer as well.
RJ is the best, and no hockey game is right without him on the call. One of the reasons I want to be a hockey analist. Hes the man, stick around for a little while longer Rodney!
They should have him the announcing for the next NHL video game.

I chuckled a little when it said Rick DiPietro was out for the remainder of the season with the swelling off the knee.

Yeah I remember seeing his call of Derek Plante's goal against the Senators. Plus you can hear him like 3 or 4 times during the intro video.
