I can’t tell you how OVER THE MOON I am that you guys did this. This man was the “soundtrack of my childhood” growing up in western NY. ❤
He really touched the entire hockey world. I’d always watch a Buffalo broadcast just to hear him call the games. You didn’t have to be a Sabres fan to love RJ.
Appreciate the comment and context, love this!
Ricks calls during fights were absolutely unreal!!! His fight calls got everyone fired up!!!! He was the best!!!
Agreed -- those Ray-Domi bouts were must see TV. In fact, the documentary about the Ray-Domi series is also worth watching. Ray used to get the Aud going when he'd shed his jersey and pads. Anyway, RJ is one of the main reasons I'm still a huge Sabres fan even though I only lived in Buffalo for a couple of year back in the 90s
My God, you guys just made my day. As a life long Buffalonian and Sabres fan this is amazing. Sorry, nobody called a game like RJ
5:15 Even if you're not a Sabers fan, you know his voice when he talks.
We lost a legendary staple in the NHL. He will be missed league wide I can promise you that.
Cant watch this without tearing up. Rest in Peace RJ, he's calling the great game in the sky these days. Most iconic play by play announcer I can think of.
To explain the fog at 1:05, that's what happened when hockey playoff games were played on warm May and June days in old arenas that lacked air conditioning. The game would be stopped every so often and all 40 players from both teams would skate laps to dissipate some of the fog.
The Boston Bruins had a similarly legendary announcer named Fred Cusick. He did play-by-play on radio and then TV from 1952 to 1997. I think of him as "the voice of my childhood."
You got a small taste of Rob Ray fights here. Check out the full video of Rob Rays fights. Rick will get your blood going with his calls of Robs fights! You won’t be disappointed!! Trust me!!
Growing up a hockey player from the Buffalo area, this man was the voice of my childhood. So many of my memories with my mom and dad include this man’s voice coming through our television. One of the greatest commentators of all time. A great commentator but an even better person. Genuinely great human being. All of Buffalo shed a tear when we heard of his passing. Rest in peace Rick
Kaner, is that you? If so, come home buddy. Just come home. Lol
Couldn’t be happier that you reacted to this, I was at the banner raising game and it was magical, the loudest I’ve ever heard that stadium before in person
Love this, great that you enjoyed. Appreciate the comment too 🙏
Not a Sabres fan but this brought a tear to my eye. Legend
Great video, loved RJ since I got into hockey. The "Legion of Doom" was the nickname for the Philadelphia Flyers top line of Eric Lindros, John LeClair, and Mikael Renberg, back in the mid-to-late 1990s.
The voice of a franchise for 50 years, that’s remarkable
RJ is definitely one of the all time greats. "May Day" is definitely his most memorable call, but I'll always love his "La la la la la Fontaine" calls the most.
Can’t not cry seeing anything RJ related. I’m 37 and get transported back maybe.. 1995? Climbing the stairs in the Aud up in the oranges that were so steep it seemed illegal, clutching onto my dad terrified of tumbling down, finding our seats, seeing him pull out his little portable radio and put on the radio broadcast because we couldn’t not listen to Rick for a game.
Rick transcended his own team with the excitement of the calls he made, with character and professionalism.
There is only one other hockey announcer that did that, and that's Mike Lange.
RIP RJ
Such a legend
❤️❤️
Legion of Doom were the Top Line of the 90's Philadelphia Flyers Eric Lindros John Leclair and Mikael Renberg! 1995-1997 they were Together
Swept by the Wings in the finals in 97!
I've lived in Buffalo my whole life Rick is just the voice of hockey for me. Growing up you'd play street hockey or NHL video games with your friends and you'd be doing your best impression of Rick whenever you could. He had to step back a few years earlier and it just isn't the same without hearing his voice call the games. Beyond a sports announcer he honestly felt like a grandfather figure for the entire city of Buffalo.
10:44 The 'Legion of Doom' were the Philadelphia Flyers' top line of John LeClair, Eric Lindros and Mikael Renberg between 1995 and 1997. One of the top forward lines in the 90's and top 2 all time for the Flyers.
Great job with this guys. RJ was one of a kind. He was, indeed, the heartbeat of a city and a team.
I think it’s important to really understand that radio is what a lot of us listened to for years leading up to the era of being able to watch just about every game on TV. The voice of your team is engraved into the history you hold with the team.
1:05 RJ one of famous calls Rene Robert OT Winner in the Fog Game Against the Philadelphia Flyers Broad Street Bullies in the Game 3 of the 1975 Stanley Cup Final
RJ and Bob Cole are hands down the two best imo
At least give Joe Bowen an honorable mention
I"m 69 so I got to hear every year of RJ's career in Buffalo.
Legion of boom was the Philadelphia Flyers aka the Broad Street Bullies
Fun fact RJ was so good at calling fights blow-by-blow that he was inducted into the Bare Knuckle Boxing Hall of Fame.
RIP great video
Def need to check out Bob Cole, the voice of Hockey Night In Canada for 46 years, called 20 Stanley Cup Finals, 98, 02 & 06 Olympics and has some of the most memorable calls ever
to this day i can't say top shelf for a bar-down goal without following it up with "where momma hides the cookies"
Y'all HAVE TO do Harry Carey of the Cubs..
I LOVED this video. Great Announcers add to the fabric and texture of Sport.
In the South we didn't have hockey until I was almost 30, so it's always been 4th or 5th in my ranking of Sports.
I heard this video and I called my son and we made plans to go to a South Carolina Stngrays game.( Our minor league hockey team)
I've already bought the tickets.
Thanks guys,
Rick
Charleston SC
As a Sabre fan the only thing that truly sucks is that we never got I hear RJ say” An the Sabres are Stanley Cup Champions”. Would have been the best call by a broadcaster in sports history
A true legend!
❤️❤️
Glad you guys got to this!
We are too, was an incredible watch this one!
not a Sabres fan at all but I always loved RJ
❤️❤️
Much respect for you guys to do this video. Never thought you'd dive into something like this. Love it. Keep me surprised all the time! More hockey!
You’re welcome, really glad we did this one too
Different sport, but you guys probably know who John Madden was, but did you know his catch phrases? All time great Head coach for a short 10 seasons, then the biggest name in NFL color commentary, along with a video game franchise that of course you know! He's interesting!
I don't give 2 hoots about the NHL, but I know that man's voice. From Sportscenter top plays and highlight videos I know that voice. You know you are a legend when someone, like me, who doesn't really care about your sport is recognizable....that means something. Kind of like Dave Niehaus for the Seattle Mariners.
Great video guys. Glad to see how far you've come. Can't wait for a live stream.
Love it! You guys should do The Minnesota Twins and the Cruelest Streak in Sports! it's long but hurts so much to watch as a minnesota fan
Appreciate the suggestion, thank you 🙏
You guys have to react the LSU - Ole Miss game from this past weekend; it was a high scoring thrilled that went down to the wire, with some great individual performances. Great react material
Keep an eye out for tomorrows video 😅
@@DNReacts 😁😁👍
legion of doom was the philadelphia flyers. they were goons
Oiler have won 10 straight games first time in their history.
…..like someone said in the video, he made the game more exciting than you being there.
Love this! Appreciate the comment too 🙏
First one 🥇
Man. I still can't watch the rj tribute video without crying. 716 for life.
RUclips search. Sports Science, goalie reaction time, Olaf kolzig
Proves NHL goalie reflexes are ACTUALLY as fast as a cat
Appreciate the suggestion, thank you 🙏
