Sabres fans in the Buffalo area-opinions on Harry Neale?

[rustyfan]

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.

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.

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!

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.
