RIP Rico

I just heard the sad news today that former Sabre and member of the French Connection Rick Martin has passed away today in a car accident in Buffalo, New York. Martin was one of the best Sabres players of all time and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. I had the opportunity to meet him several times in person and I was also at the game where he made his last public appearance when he skated out on the ice with Gilbert and Rene. He will truly be missed.
