When I was getting into Hockey, this guy was one of the voices I enjoyed the most. His enthusiasm for the sport and the way he'd make a call we're absolutely infectious to a new fan.

His best-of clips always got me hyped. RIP

THE all time greatest play by play. Rest easy RJ

It’s hard to put into words how amazing it is that every Sabres fan has memories of listening to RJ as a kid. That’s something truly special, Buffalo has been so lucky to listen to him all those years.

I’m glad he was able to enjoy a full year of retirement with his family, the man worked nearly his entire life. We’ll never see (or hear) another like him.

Such an iconic voice. He will be missed.
