https://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/hall-of-fame-broadcaster-rick-jeanneret-has-diedThere is sad breaking news out of the National Hockey League to report. Legendary Buffalo Sabres broadcaster Rick Jeanneret has died this evening at the age of 81.
He retired last year after 51 years with the organization, starting with their second NHL season in 1971-72 and earned the Hockey Hall of Fame Foster Hewitt Memorial Award.

He was only the 2nd voice I remember for radio broadcasts of the Buffalo Sabres, Rick and Ted Darling.
His health has been failing slowly over the last few years.
For NHL hockey fans, especially ones in the know, recognize his calls, voice and his trademark quips.
