I asked those who worked closest with Rick Jeanneret to share memories that have made them smile the past few days. There were wistful sighs and tears, but there were a lot of laughs while remembering the colorful Sabres icon. theathletic.com/4794943/2023/0…

"Outside of Gilbert Perreault, Patty LaFontaine, Dominik Hasek, I’m trying to think who would be more famous? He’s the face of the Buffalo Sabres," Brad May said. On Rick Jeanneret and his legacy as both a friend and a broadcaster @TheAthleticNHL: theathletic.com/4788140/2023/0…

So my kid just bought a blind draw mystery puck at the Bisons game. Signed by RJ. You’re the best, my friend.

Goodbye to my dear, RJ. I'll miss those hilarious private calls and cherish the public memories. We will be inextricably linked forever, and I'm so proud to have been your friend. I just hope you're now way above where "mama hides the cookies." - LaLaLa #PatLaFontaine…

His voice is immortal. Behind it was a caring, witty, sentimental man who always had the right words. (Like these in our group chat when I switched jobs.) As amazing as Rick Jeanneret was on the air, he was better off it. Rest well, my friend. It was an honor to call you that.

Congrats @RyanMiller3039 on your induction in the @BuffaloSabres HoF and in having your #30 raised to the rafters! A great honor for a great man. All pediatric patients in WNY owe you a debt. Enjoy this special moment with your family! #PatLaFontaine

“I can still remember thinking, ‘Gosh, I wish one day I could wear that Buffalo Sabre jersey,’” Wayne Gretzky told me. As part of our NHL99 series @TheAthleticNHL, I wrote about Gilbert Perreault, the impact he had on 99 and the Sabres’ franchise: theathletic.com/3726567/2022/1…

Hey, Buffalo. Some news to share with you all this morning. I’m coming home to take over for ⁦@BuffaloVogl⁩ on the Sabres beat. I’ll chime in on the Bills as time allows, too. I’m grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to get started: theathletic.com/3328969/2022/0…

"Wow, this is something special. This is something that I’m just lucky to be a part of." Optimism was everywhere as the Sabres cleaned out their lockers during the weekend. More importantly, the confidence was real and ready to move forward. theathletic.com/3289653/2022/0…

Kevyn Adams will be open to conversations on his three first-round picks, but as of now he expects he'll make them all. The Sabres aren't at the point where they need short-term fixes. They're still building long term.
