If you have ever watched a Buffalo Sabres game on TV (and I’m talking about the local feed), then you’ve certainly heard the uncanny, exciting and sometimes incoherent Rick Jeanneret<\/span>. Jeanneret<\/span> has been the Sabres play-by-play man since 1971. He started on the radio, and moved to TV for the 1995-96 season. Jeanerret<\/span> has some of the best, most unique<\/span> and exciting calls in the business, which is exactly why he’s been in the business for so long.<\/p>\n Love him or loathe him he’s certainly one of the most colorful characters out there, and he’s a hell of a lot better to listen to than Doc Emerick<\/span> who, by the way, still doesn’t realize that there’s a different between doing play-by-play on the radio and doing it on television. But seriously, he’s a sweet old man; how could you possibly loathe him? Not to mention the guy gets more excited for a Sabres’ goal than most people do for the birth of a child. You’ve got to love it. Anyway, thanks to YouTube<\/span> here are some of the best calls from Jeanneret<\/span>, and if you check out his Wikipedia<\/span> page<\/a>, there is much more goodness.<\/p>\n 2007 Eastern Conference Semis; Rangers vs. Sabres, Game 5 Daniel Briere<\/span> is the cookie monster… um. Ok<\/span>.<\/p>\n And I might as well just cut to the chase and give you the Rick Jeanneret<\/span> Top 10, thanks to Sportscentre<\/span>.<\/p>\n
Chris Drury<\/span> ties its up in the closing seconds and everyone including Jeanneret<\/span> absolutely loses it.<\/p>\n
