I think it's safe to say most of us Buffalonians are walking around today with very heavy hearts. Yesterday we got the news that one of our beloved French Connection members, Rick Martin passed away of a heart attack while driving in Clarence.
March 14, 2011 I was so sad to hear of the passing of NHL Hall of Famer and Sabres great Rick Martin yesterday. He died of an apparent heart attack while driving on Main Street in Clarence. And the news was eerily similar to the death of Sabres defenseman Tim Horton who was killed in car crash in St
One of the tough jobs when you are an air personality is reporting bad news. Today I had the sad task of telling our listeners that we lost Rick Martin, the former Sabres great and part of the famous "French Connection". He died today after an apparent heart attack which resulted in a one car accident. He was 59.
One third of the French connection and one of the greatest Buffalo Sabres of all time, Rick Martin, has died of an apparent heart attack during an automobile accident. Rick Martin was 59 years old
The Buffalo Sabres are finishing up an extended road stretch and will be coming home to some changes to their locker room. A new custom carpet with the Sabres Logo has been installed and a new wall display quoting new owner Terry Pegula greets the players as they enter the locker room
Is it really that bad to be a sports fan in Buffalo? Every once in a while, we get so close, but the big prizes seem to elude us. Our football team has gone to the Superbowl four times and lost every single time
February 26, 2011 It's been awhile since we've seen Craig Rivet on the ice and it'll be awhile before we see him play at HSBC Arena again. He was claimed today off of re-entry waivers by The Columbus Blue Jackets.
February 22, 2011 I really can't explain it. Why should a grown man care so much about the game by game travails of a bunch of young guys in uniforms playing a sport? I wish it wasn't that way - but I can't help it. In case anybody didn't know, I admit it - I'm a fan of the Buffalo Sabres. I've been a fan since they entered the NHL in 1970. They've provided some incredible thrills over the years and probably just as many disappointments. I wanted to punch something after their dismal game against the St. Louis Blues last Friday.
Terry Pegula was officially introduced as the new owner of the Buffalo Sabres.
The Buffalo Sabres are holding a major press conference today at 11am with new owner Terry Pegula. I was down at the HSBC Arena this morning and the excitement is starting to build. The front of the arena is filled with television remote vehicles ready to cover this beginning of a new era for Buffalo hockey fans
February 18, 2011 NHL sources say the NHL Board of Governors has approved the sale of the Buffalo Sabres to Terry Pegula. That word coming just hours before the Sabres game Friday night against the St. Louis Blues. The only thing left to do now is to sign the papers making the ownership swap official and that's expected to happen this Tuesday
February 7, 2011 It was interesting to at least hear the owner of a Buffalo sports team sound like he was committed to bringing a major championship to the city. Terry Pagula is expected to take over control of the Buffalo Sabres on February 22nd. That's the day the NHL Board of Governors is expected to give its approval of the sale of the team to Pagula. If he has any intent of directing that some trades be made this season, he'll have less than a week to do it before the NHL trade deadline on February 28th.
