Broadcast Schedule Released | Buffalo Hockey Central

“The Buffalo Sabres today announced the reduced schedule of games that the broadcast team of Rick Jeanneret and Harry Neale will work during the 2011-12 season. In total, Jeanneret and Neale will call 57 regular season games (39 home, 18 away), with Kevin Sylvester and Danny Gare taking over the remaining 23 games.

Sylvester and Gare will begin their schedule with the Sabres’ Nov. 5 game at Ottawa. Their schedule will include one home game (Feb. 24 vs. Boston) and 22 road games. They will join the team for seven single-game road trips and three multiple-game trips, including seven games from Jan. 14 to Jan. 31 and five games from Feb. 25 to Mar. 5.

Jeanneret, who will be entering his 40th season with the Sabres, explained that the change is an effort to extend his career. Jeanneret started with the team prior to the 1971-72 season, serving as the club’s radio voice, and held that post until 1995. He then became the team’s television play-by-play announcer beginning with the 1995-96 campaign.

It will be Neale’s fifth year in Buffalo, after joining the Sabres at the start of the 2007-08 season. He previously worked for more than 20 years as an analyst for Hockey Night in Canada, along with regional coverage of Toronto Maple Leafs games.”
