Buffalo Sabres honour legendary announcer with pregame tribute
The Buffalo Sabres are playing host to the New York Rangers tonight in their season opener, but before the puck dropped in the 2023-24 campaign, they played a honoured one of the most iconic play by play announcers in NHL history.
Rick Jeanneret was the voice of the Sabres for over 50 years before retiring at the end of last season. Sadly not long after, he passed away. The Sabres honoured him with this tribute; take a look.
Honoring the legendary Rick Jeanneret. 🤍
Whether you're a fan of the Sabres or not, there's no denying that Jeanneret is not only one of the most recognizable voices in the sport, but one of the best to ever do it.
What a touching way for the Sabres to honour a cornerstone of their franchise for over 50 years. A fitting send off if you will. Goodbye Rick, your voice will certainly be missed.
