‘Farewell, RJ. The 2021-22 season marked the swan song for iconic Sabres broadcaster Rick Jeanneret, who joined the team in 1971 and coined phrases that will live on in the lexicon of franchise history. The team “retired” Jeanneret’s microphone and put a banner in the rafters in his honor in a ceremony prior to the April 1 win over Nashville and the night ended with an impromptu team picture on the ice as Jeanneret was escorted to a curtain call. Jeanneret’s last game, the April 29 finale against Chicago, again celebrated his career and he got to call one more oohhhhhhhvertime victory, on a goal by Casey Mittelstadt.’
