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
A very good day at the mailbox. Awesome job, @kwsnow. It’s an honor to be a small part of it. simonandschuster.com/books/The-Scie…
“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…
Don Granato and Kevyn Adams on finding a defenseman and goalie, three first-round picks, Ryan Johnson and the Sabres’ next step. “We will have a focus of getting better until we win a championship.” theathletic.com/3291842/2022/0…
As Don Granato and Kevyn Adams wrapped up the Sabres’ season, there was little doubt about the word of the day. theathletic.com/3291842/2022/0…
"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.
Sabres prospect Ryan Johnson is leaning toward returning to the University of Minnesota for his senior season, GM Kevyn Adams says.
"I'm not a greedy guy, but if there's one thing I'll ever be greedy about it's winning. You can't win enough." - Sabres' Don Granato.

@BuffaloVogl I’m sitting here watching YouTube Sabres highlights from 99 , and I’m just so sad. He’s been a part of my whole life and he maybe didn’t know it. But i suspect he did.
@BuffaloVogl Wow! This is super cool. Save this forever!
@BuffaloVogl Super cool man. You’re lucky to have had that tie with him
@BuffaloVogl John, Welcome back. I’m sorry for your loss. On many occasion, I observed the close bond that you and Rick shared with one another. You and RJ were thick as thieves. His spirit will live on.
@ByTimGraham @BuffaloVogl Hi John Vogl!! Miss your work and hope all is well!
Through the 'blizzard' of support from our donors, new @Google Chromebooks are being delivered TODAY to pediatric patients @OCHBuffalo at Oishei Children's in Buffalo. #PatLaFontaine #BePositive donate.cic16.org/campaign/chrom…
Great reference article here come October. @Tarik_ElBashir is fantastic. Him and @BuffaloVogl are my two favorite hockey writers and anyone wants to fight me about that, well, that would be weird, but I’d consider it.
#Caps execs, coaches and fans got a peek at the organization’s prospects in 2021-22 as 11 rookies suited up. But what does that mean for the next season? Who fits where? I put them into 5 tiers, ranging from ‘potentially in DC’ to ‘needs more seasoning.’ theathletic.com/3353223/2022/0…
@BuffaloVogl Just saw this I’m not a sabres fan but I love to see them succeed being from Buffalo. I often read your articles especially on @TheAthleticNHL. Really enjoy them, good luck!
@MatthewFairburn @BuffaloVogl hell yeah, matt! as good of a replacement as we could possibly imagine for the incomparable @BuffaloVogl. Looking forward to your coverage and appearances on the Buffalo Beat. Cheers from a fellow goalie 🤝

While on the topic of showing some love to Sabres media members: -I’m going to miss @BuffaloVogl immensely -@LLysowski is an absolute beauty
@BuffaloVogl Late to the party here, but you’ve been a pro’s pro, I’ve enjoyed working with you immensely, and I’m looking forward to continuing to, Vogl. Heck of a run.
@BuffaloVogl I'll miss you just as much as when Larry Felser retired.
@BuffaloVogl Thanx John, gonna miss ya, good luck at your new job!
Difficult to announce but today is my last day working for the Buffalo News, my second family.Don’t get too excited yet people, even thou my time is up at the News, I’m not leaving the area.I will be expanding my freelance photography business and teaching. Thank You BN. Love you
Best of luck, @BuffaloVogl - hope the next step is fulfilling and enjoyable! Also hope that it may involve running into you from time to time. All the best!
Well, after 20 years, that’ll do it. A long-desired move to a different job at The Athletic has come through. The search for the next Sabres writer is underway, and hopefully they make as many memories and friends as I did. Thanks for reading these past two decades. Take care.
@BuffaloVogl Wow! Just saw this! Best of luck. Been our pleasure.
