Awful news. He was to Sabres fans what Peter Maher is to us. Absolute icon and one of the best to ever do it. So passionate about his craft too, I wish he got to call a Sabres cup win.
He had many great calls but I absolutely cannot stand the May Day call, that is easily the most disliked call in hockey history for me. An amazing career and a game calling icon though for sure, RIP.

Only people that hated that call were Bruin fans, I thought it was fantastic

RIP - obviously hits me pretty hard especially, these were the calls I grew up listening to and he'll always be my favorite. All my best Sabres memories are associated with his calls. A true legend and all-time great -- I wish he would've got to call a Sabres cup win or at least seen one before he passed.

Man... that really sucks. One of those announcers who nearly everyone was a fan of, no matter what team you cheered for, because he clearly enhanced the entertainment value of the product on the ice.
Everyone probably has their own favourite call of his, and there are dozens to choose from... this one's mine.
