Jeanneret called Sabres games from 1971 until his retirement in 2022.
in the first round of the 1993 Stanley Cup playoffs and ended the team’s 10-year playoff-win drought.
“Rick was a very special and very loved man, to and by all, who knew him and listened to him, his magic and his command,” Pegula said. “How glad I am to have known him. How lucky were we all to have been around him and to have listened to him.”I could talk about the legendary calls, the way he marked Buffalo’s hockey history with enthusiastic cries and clever wordsmanship, but that’s not what came to mind when I first heard Jeanneret died.I thought about October 2013 in Edmonton.
So what happened that frigid morning in Edmonton was a true sense of the man, beyond the theatrics and the grandiosity and the wisecracks. He walked a couple of blocks to the nearby pharmacy to get the kind of over-the-counter pain medicine not available in the United States. He insisted — INSISTED — on carrying my bags. I crawled into the backseat.It’s hard to sum up how much Jeanneret meant to the Sabres and their fanbase.
