Over the course of my life as a Buffalo Sabres fan, I’ve probably watched upwards of 1700 games since I was about five years old. I’ve never had season tickets but have typically attended at least a few games each year, but for the most part, the majority of the games I’ve watched have been on television.
For a significant portion of my life, I’ve been watching and listening to Rick Jeanneret broadcast Sabres games. For myself - and I suspect, for many others - Jeanneret is synonymous with watching a hockey game. Although his presence has understandably been lessened over recent years - the man deserves a break!
