News about Pat LaFontaine

Rick Jeanneret, who will always be recognized as the voice of the Buffalo Sabres after a 51-year broadcasting career and the 2012 Foster Hewitt Award winner, died on Thursday. He was 81 years old at the time. Following a two-year struggle with multi-organ failure, Jeanneret's family released a statement announcing that he died with his family by his side. The family's statement said, 'He will be loved forever.' And it's fair to say that many who grew to hear his call of Sabres games will be adored for eternity.
