  • Sabres Live review

    Marty’s great; Brian Duff is awful. Also it seems the sound quality is off, perhaps being in different locations, maybe? Marty’s audio is often faint so one ups the volume for his take, then Duff speaks up and it’s deafening….makes it a hard listen in general, but worse when you add Duff’s awful narratives….someone please just tell the guy to speak like a normal person…we want straight hockey talk not Ivy League wannabe wordsmith’s.

  • Not as good as it used to be.

    Marty and Duffer are both articulate but the show seems very insincere now. Like they’re just reading off what the team wants them to say. Those two could never be described as instigators. Might have to change the name to something more gentle to suit these two better.
