LB3 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Senators fan, but this stinks. Guys like him make the league more fun to watch. Hopefully it's not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 To be fair (and I'd be fine with close to 50/50 hockey / football coverage) does anyone want to hear these guys speculate about Eichel for hours before we actually know anything? Sounds like torture. Can't tell if you are serious or if this a joke. I recall hearing them talk on and on about Sammy when they didn't know if he was going to play or not. Granted they knew he was injured but were basically just making guesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir andrew Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 No true with the Bills for the last 15 years or so, but the Sabres could usually be counted on for a fairly competitive product. Ugh. This is a kick in the teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Byrd Man Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Was happy to hear that that Ruben Brown is going to have a Sunday evening (or late night show, not sure what time) Bills show during the football season...it won't be the post game show, but after all that. Heard Murphy talking about it the other day...didn't say what time, just a "late Sunday Bills show"...I am thinking, after the prime-time game is over? I know we are all Bills fans here, but I think there is a segment that really don't realize that the Sabres are a pretty big deal to Buffalo too...they aren't nationally prominent, but every bit as important to the local identity as the Bills. I really have no problem with them talking hockey, even during football season! Living in football crazed Texas, it is kind of refreshing to hear some puck talk now and again. I personally think a 2-3 hour a day show, devoted to either team, during the off-season, is kind of over-kill. There is only so much to say about the same thing, over and over and over again... It's too bad he isn't doing the post game show. I don't even listen anymore. Just to tired of Schopp and bulldog rhetoric. It would be nice to have some informative input for a change.

DC Tom Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 On the day Jack Eichel might be lost for the season, we get the John Murphy Show. Sabres and Bills must be sharing the same strength and conditioning staff. El Pegual is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Can't tell if you are serious or if this a joke. I recall hearing them talk on and on about Sammy when they didn't know if he was going to play or not. Granted they knew he was injured but were basically just making guesses. When there's a football injury on a football show, that's what they're going to talk about. But I don't think they need to interrupt the football show to speculate on a hockey injury. This is going to get covered all afternoon on the 3-7 slot, and probably all morning tomorrow on Howard Simon, which is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liverpoolkev Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 On the day Jack Eichel might be lost for the season, we get the John Murphy Show. That's Correct my friend ...... Football is KING Locally and Nationally ..... hockey is something I want to hear about when football is no more. I love going to the game ( have 4 season tix ) I need something to do in the winter months . they play too many games. Sabres should check back when they get close to playoffs.

Peter Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 On the same day we hear the good news that Sammy does not need surgery and should be back this year, we are blindsided with Jack Eichel getting hurt a day before the first game of the year and 8 to 10 minutes from the end of practice. Wow. Just wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dulles Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Exactly. Common thread: Brandon It's likely that this is all part of his scheme to regionalise the Sabres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) I haven't listened to the station today, has Howard and Jeremy gone game-by-game for the whole Sabres season and "picked the Sabres" without Eichel? GREAT radio. Edited October 13, 2016 by BuffalothruMyVeins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulles Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 on the day of the start of the NFL season, we get Sabres hockey hotline. *sigh* Sometimes it is good to live far away from the big city... ...then the local sports radio station starts covering HS soccer. I'd take Sabre's hockey over live HS soccer anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
