Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

Used to listen to his radio calls back in the 70's and 80's on WGR. He and the late TV play-by-play man Ted Darling were synonymous with the Sabres. I remember after Yvon Lambert was traded to Buffalo he scored a goal for the Sabres and Jeanneret screamed "YEE-VON LAM-BERT!"
 
There is something rather strange about the end of Lambert's career. Why did he play the last 2 seasons in Rochester after a 64 point season with the Sabres?
 
It’s a shame that he didn’t see the Sabres make the playoffs once in his last decade broadcasting the team . . . although I have to admit that I never liked him as a play by play guy. He’s mostly famous because of one call. Can’t hold a candle to Danny or Bob . . . or even Doc Emerick.
 
They could have waited another year to see if he would crash and burn, Seem like all you need these days is one monster year and you are set for life.

I know the cap’s going up but . . . that’s nuts. Then again, that’s a guy the Habs had and basically let go for nothing.
