Is it just me, or does this guy seem to look for reasons to point out Buffalo's flaws & put them down? I also get irritated when he continues to run his mouth after play has started. Do you guys as well? Jim rarely did that. I miss him :-(

Thom, I agree that he knows what he is talking about, but he rarely points out what they do right.
Thank you, tdr. That is exactly what I am saying.

amdd-that is too funny! You might just get best answer for that!
To all, I understand that it is their job to be critical when it is necessary. But when they are playing well, Neale doesn't comment on that. For example, the other night. Where was the praise on the 8-1 win?? Neale couldn't find anything wrong to point out, so he just found other things to blab about, rather than say something good about the Sabres. That is the point I am trying to make.

To be ghetto about it: holla at ya girl! Between he and Mike Robataille I don't know who irritates me more. I love when they cut away to Mike, Harry and Razor and Harry like has no clue that he's supposed to be paying attention, like he's more concerned as to whether or not the closest concession stand still has some nachos left.
And then you'll have a game where the Sabres are up, for example, 3-1, not real safe, but not in dire straits, either, and they go to the intermission report and Robataille's all, "Oh yeah well uh Lindy Uh Ruff Uuuuuhhhh he's gonna be giving them a stern talking to in the locker room. You don't wanna play a period where the other team wears skates. That's why they're gonna lose this game that they lead by two, and I don't understand why Neal got a penalty for shooting Vanek with a 12 gage. That penalty should have gone to Buffalo. Buy a house from my wife, or I won't show you uuuuhhh the Carubba Collision of the game. My dumb *** remark today is brought to you my Mideke Muffler. What do you think Harry Neale, because I always refer to you by your full name?"
"The Bills suck. So do the Bisons. Oh yeah, and the Sabres, too. Are you gonna finish that hot pretzel Razor?"
And then Rob Ray rips off his shirt and kicks both their asses.
A girl can dream, right?

Growing up listening to Rick and Jim, i cannot stand Harry Neale. About a week ago play was going on the ice and Rick was trying to call the game Neale was talking to about a Leafs player in the 40s - I mean I understand thats when the leafs were last good, but save the stories for breaks, not during the game.
I would have prefered had they hired Mike Robataille, he played for the sabres and has been working for them dutifully for many years.

Harry Neale is a tremendous color commentator! Jim Lorentz use to do the same thing. It is part of their job to point out when they see weaknesses. I like these 2 in the booth!

Harry was at one time a coach in the NHL (Vancouver), and he puts himself down on many occasions on his record as a coach. He puts in his own anecdotes and side stories here and there, and most are good for a chuckle, he has a very wiseass personality on air (he's the guy you shoot the **** with at the bar). After you get used to him, you'll find that the things he points about what the team is doing wrong, he's absolutely right. He also points out what the team is doing right.

Now the whole Buffalo crew sucks LMAO. RJ is an annoying homer soccer announcer and Neale is a Leaf fan who criticizes your team.
In reality I hate endless praise by home announcers. Every team has flaws, sorry you have to hear them.

The team hired Neale because he would be more critical than Lorentz. That is Neale's job.

Much like how McCabe's on the Sabres' payroll for that one game, Neale is STILL on the Leafs' payroll!! *mwah-ha-ha!!*

nicely the KKR will wind up the tournament on a severe be conscious and it will immediately help the RCB to qualify for the playoffs. the only benefit for Sunrises is the homestead help in any different case the entire united states of america would be helping the KKR for RCB.
