I’m sure we all have those close to us that will be watching this playoff run from “upstairs”
Let’s go win the whole damn thing for them

Dare greatly, young men. Because you are just getting started, and you are scary good.
All of Buffalo is with you. RJ is watching on. We all believe. Better days have arrived.

Holy shit. That hit me in the feels. Hard. And I don’t know if it’s AI or if they had him record his awhile ago but wow.

I felt that one for sure. That walk has been depressing, demoralizing and dark for way too long….but we keep coming back because we love this franchise. Ugly crying right now. I am so happy for all of us and for the players and coaches.
Thank you RJ. Thank you Lindy. Thank you Sabres.

That cuts deep. I’ll be the first to admit I stepped away for a couple years(still watched handful of games a year) but just couldn’t handle the « country club » the team became.
Fans pick up on that. Especially a HOCKEY TOWN that is buffalo(go Bills though lol). This city knows hockey. We knew when they just *didnt care*. And responded with our wallets and empty seats.
We also saw when that changed earlier this year. And damn near overnight sold that place out. And continue too. We just wanted *something* to hang our hats on. Instead of being the laughing stock again and again.
I just wish RJ was around *this* version of the team. Mostly the same players, just grown up a little. You know he’d come out of retirement for that first home playoff game 😢 We miss you RJ.

RJ was one of a kind.
We are honestly damn lucky to have had him, and also Dan Dunleavy who has done the impossible job of succeeding him, was another great choice by the Sabres in a time it didn’t feel like they made great choices.

Have we heard this audio from RJ before? I’m wondering if this was recorded specifically to be used the next time the Sabres made it to the playoffs
