It’s sad because it’s true:

Somewhere, Rick Jeanneret is sitting quietly in a room, not calling a hockey game. Losing RJ games is losing hockey lore, one day at a time.

Maybe RJ is using this time to prepare some legendary game calls. Who am I kidding? He’s probably out fishing with Jim Lorentz.

I’m sorry.

Artist’s interpretation of the reading of the tweet.

So much sad. Good lord, this lockout is boring. Hmm. Brings up a random thought: I wonder what it sounds like when Jeanneret yawns? I bet he even makes his yawns pretty damn exciting.

Go Sabres.
