- The Buffalo Sabres' legendary announcer Rick Jeanneret calls his final game for the franchise after more than a half century in the booth. We will never forget you RJ.

RIP to one of the absolute GOATs. The NHL needs to do everything they can to honor this legend of the game
So sad 😢
They can't do enough. Truly unmatched and unequaled. Godspeed RJ
@@patprime7320I think Ted Darling deserves to have His Name on a Banner and raised to the rafters right next to Rick Jeanneret and the Broadcast Booth changed to the "Ted Darling and Rick Jeanneret" or the "Darling - Jeanneret" Broadcasting Booth
RIP. An amazing individual and voice of the game for all hockey fans!
May we pass it to the following generation ❤
Rest in peace to a legendary broadcaster
Beat me to it man came back to hear his voice one last time
Forever RJ ❤😢
I started watching in 89 and it's just not the same without you rj. Thank you for the best announcer in all of sports.
😢😢
RIP RJ❤️❤️❤️ you will be missed so much
From all fan bases, he truly will be missed 😢
I'm a redwings fan since 94 and I'll preface this by saying I don't like or dislike the Buffalo Sabres, but watching hockey intently the past 25 years, I have to say RJ has been the most electric voice in all of hockey! Much respect to a legend
RJ - It's been a helluva ride ❤
@@TimestampGuy2020the absolute best last words he ever could have said signing off the air for the last time!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope one year soon….The Sabres can bring RJ the Stanley Cup.. RIP Rick Jeanneret
Rest in peace to one of the greatest to ever do it ❤️
The love for this man real!! 💪 😊
RIP RJ. Legend. #sabres 😢🔵🟡
RIP to one of the best voices in sports broadcast!
Growing up in the Toronto area in the 90's, we had two of the greatest play-by-play announcers in sports: Joe Bowen (Leafs) and Jerry Howarth (Jays). That being said, we also got to hear Rick Jeanneret. He had a great voice and brought the kind of passion and charm to the broadcasts that made it fun to listen to or watch Sabres games, even if you weren't a Sabres fan. Sabre's games will never be the same.
Rip RJ💔 you will be missed by all
I remember as a kid, when the sabres games where nationally broadcasted, my dad would watch the game with the tv sound muted, and rick jeanneret on the radio. doesn't get any better than that. absolute legend. shame we could never win the cup for rick; but his calls over the years were second to none.
Lol my dad would do the same thing. He'd be blasting the radio in the garage so we could hear it in the living room
Not gonna lie when first heard i feared and when rewatched it you can hear Duffer crying also Thank you RJ
I heard it at the very end I was at rj night and I am not a major hockey fan but I felt chills come down my spine when I saw his calls…. I was the guy with the pit vipers and let me tell you I cried like a baby
RJ night was amazing I cried so many times he was and always will be a legend in NHL history
There will NEVER and I mean NEVER be another NHL announcer as good or as better than RJ and Pittsburgh"s Mike Lange. Those two set the bar so high. It will take years for one announcer to be as legendary as these two. RJ and Mike were the best of the best.
Sabers Hockey Won’t Be The Same Without Rick Jeanneret. Goodbye & Thank You.
Much respect from Canes country. RJ is and will always be a legend.
Take off your jersey, spin it round like a helicopter
RJ most likely 😂❤
More greats being taken 😢 I didn't think this would be so tough 😪 but watching this man for decades and now, never to hear him again is a trip and a half for sure. May we all heal and keep the memories alive. 😢❤ ✌
RIP RJ. Spent so many hours listening to Rick on the radio up past my bedtime as a kid. Those were the greatest memories. Forever my forever my favourite Sabre.
RIP Rick ❤ He will live in Sabres fans' hearts forever. Have a great next season and secure a playoff spot for him!
Not just Sabres fans, but hockey fans as a whole 👌 👏 ❤
I fell in love with hockey when I was 5… started following the team in the 05-06 season when my family had just moved to Buffalo, I remember that playoff run being my first real experience with the sport. Every door on the street was propped open and even on the nights where the games were on OLN, everybody’s TV was muted with WGR blaring on the radio. His calls are forever etched into my memory and give me goosebumps to this day. RJ will always be the voice of hockey in Buffalo, and he summarized it perfectly… it’s been a hell of a ride. What a man, what a career.
What a man, what a career and what a life he lived!! True inspiration to those who want to get involved in the sport but either can't skate or just like to be a talkie observer 😅❤
Sad to hear the news of his passing. He made Sabres games all the more interesting.
RIP, Mr. Jeanneret.
The definition of class. His anticipation of when a goal or great play would be made taught me so much about the game and I'm sure it did for countless others. An absolute legend and treasure. Thanks for posting this.
RIP to the voice of so many of our childhoods. There will never be another like you. 🫶🏼💙💛
RJ's final game I was driving back into NY from working down south for the entire winter. Crossed into NY and the game was just starting, will never forget that drive home. How fitting is it that it was an overtime win.
Still missing RJ's calls. Go Sabres!
Rest in peace 🕊️ Rick. Thank you for being the voice of my childhood. On long winter school nights, weekend afternoons, playoff summers and for all I can remember. I'm so happy I got to meet you, shake your hand and talk. You are the voice of Buffalo. And the voice of so many hockey fans throughout the world. You will never be forgotten. I'm sorry Cupcake....Our hearts are with you.
😢😢
I’ll never forget when he said Alfredsson scored before the TV showed it. We may have never won a cup but… damn did we have the best experience watching hockey. Let’s go buffalo
I grew up in the 90's, born in 1990, My father is from Pittsburgh, my mother New Jersey. By some stroke of luck, my father's career landed in Western New York. I had the privilege of hearing the great game of hockey from RJ. I played ball hockey in my driveway calling goals in the RJ style and voice like many Buffalo area kids my age did. RJ is hockey to me, forever will he live on in my memories.
One of the many legendary voices of my childhood!!!
I heard duffer crying it at the very end I was at rj night and I am not a major hockey fan but I felt chills come down my spine when I saw his calls…. I was the guy with the pit vipers and let me tell you I cried like a baby
We love you RJ. Always have always will. Some of the most memorable moments in the NHL were called by you. 😢
RIP rick. Im sad you didnt get to truly enjoy a nice long retirement and see the sabres win a cup but im very glad you lived an absolute movie from beginning to end in your long and legendary career. Habs fan but always kinda liked buffalo, but LOVED this guy. Make the playoffs for him this year boys
RIP to one of the best in the business and a Buffalo legend. There will never be another broadcaster like RJ, but we can still carry his legacy
Thanks you RJ for the great call
Rest in Peace Rick 🙏🏻
Thanks for the memories RJ
God bless. Thanks for the memories.
Was so nice for this guy to get his send off.
Even Brian duff was shaken up at the end of this video I could hear it in his voice
RIP RJ. Buffalo will always love you and remember your legacy. Such a night for Sabres fans, but the Sabres are going to win it for this man in the near future!! Do it for RJ!
😢❤
I remember listening to RJ calling games back in the mid80s when I was 3 or 4 on my parents old Sony 19” tv.. I can’t say how much of an honor it was to listen to this man call games for almost 40yrs.. rest easy sir!
One of the Best, Thank You RJ
RIP R.J i wish the Sabres would i have won the Cup for you
RIP RJ. Thanks for being the voice of my youth. Thanks for all of your legendary calls. Thanks for being a part of a franchise that i love with every fiber of my being. Thanks for being a role model and beloved friend for many. Thanks for being an amazing family man to your family. Last but not least, thanks for the memories.
RIP
Nothing but love for RJ. Fly high sir. RIP.

Once Casey scored I started crying

Sabres Hockey won't be the same without you Rick! Good luck with whatever comes next.
Pat Foley now him…😢
Damn I just got emotional as hell watching this , RIP to the legend
one of the best to ever call the game RIP Rick
Rip to one of the absolute best to ever do it
The greatest announcer ever.
Danny Gallivan was better.
@@warrengauthier4699 wrong
@@scarycrazymann : The guy sounded like he was drunk or had ADD...there are many more announcer that were better than RJ.
Bob Cole
Chris Cuthbert
Jim Hughson
Dean Brown
Etc...
@@warrengauthier4699 then why did you click on this video? You had to search this up. Get a life

You are forever with us ❤🙏
RIP, i watched alot of sabres games due to RJ's voice! take care and rest easy buddie :)
RIP RJ 🏒💔🦬🐐
He and Vin Scully are easily the goats….nobody comes close to those 2.
RIP to the Legend!
Not even a Sabres fan but have to say RIP to one of the game's greats
RJ the legend.
Rip legend rest easy
Rick Wood say "scratch my bak wit a haksaw!" aftr a sabre goal!
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, rip RJ😢
RJ is the Harry Cary of hockey. Always odd but always entertaining.
"He put it top shelf where grandma keeps the cookies!"
Top Shelf where mama hides the Cookies
RIP 😔
Next up.......RJ for the Hockey Hall of Fame.
He was the recipient of the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award back in 2012 so I believe he is either in or recognized by the the Hockey Hall of Fame.
He's in
Nobody Does It Better
He will be 200 yr old by the time the Sabres make the playoffs again
Bruh here cuz he passed LLR
And we lost Peter too. He was in on that Stanley Cup playoff run in '75 against Gary Thorne's old partner Bill Clement.
@@dannythomas417 Peter was a massive W bro I loved hearing his voice in the Altitude booth with Marc Moser
I Miss both Ted Darling and Rick Jeanneret, though I'm really upset that they made and raised Rick Jeanneret Banner in the rafters, but did nothing to make a Ted Darling and raise it to the rafters ... absolute disrespect by the Sabres and I'm very shocked and disgusted at that plus the way the Sabres Organization disgustingly treated Ted Darling who was unfortunately suffering from Alzheimer's Disease but the Sabres decided to abruptly fire Darling claiming that He had been drinking on the Job when after His Death that it was revealed that Ted was no Alcholic but had slowly declined and ultimately Died from Alzheimer's Desease ... their was never the constant Rememberances nor they never let Ted Darling have a Final Game and a Final Sign Off to the Sabre Fans since He was the First Voice of the Sabes in the 1970-71 - 1991-92 Season plus Rick would've had enough influence with the Sabres to have had Ted's Name raised to the rafters especially that it was Darling who got Jeanneret His Broadcast Job start with the Sabres before the 1971-72 - 2021-22 Season and Jeanneret while He was still Alive did nor said "Nothing" on having Ted's Name deservedly on a Banner and raise to the rafters, so think about this Sabre Fans, You would "Never" have known or Heard of Rick Jeanneret ... I'm just saying that since Ted Darling did for Rick Jeanneret by giving Him his First Professional NHL Broadcasting start and Career with the Buffalo Sabres that Rick could've done back for Ted in Memory by helping to get His Name on a Banner and raised to the rafters and I think the Sabres could rename the Broadcasting Booth to the "Ted Darling and Rick Jeanneret" or just the "Darling - Jeanneret" Broadcasting Booth.
Rick should of called 1 bills game. RIP
He dieded
That may day call is one of the worst in all professional sports, can't say I'll miss this guy.
Definitely a bruins fan that still can’t get over that game 😂
@@phillipmercurio9868 leaf fan actually 🤷
@@moonsofneptune9306 so you’re even stupider
It’s one of the best calls ever. Buffalo is going to miss RJ dearly, he’s been through it all. Leafs fan, aren’t you😂😂😂
@@tonywarner4056 been through it all except a cup win eh? The man is a hack and " may day" is one of the cringiest calls of all time in sports.
RIP RJ.
Thankyou for everything.
You were the best to ever do it. A piece of me died today.

Would have been great, if he wasn't such a homer.
