Rick Martin, one-third of the most fabled line in Buffalo Sabres history, died today of a heart attack. He was 59.

I'm in shock.

Who would know that Pegula's introductory ceremony would be the last time the French Connection would be skating together? Glad Pegula was able to do that for us... May he forever be in peace.

woah...59?
That was unexpected. RIP.
At least they all got back together one last time.

Hopefully there is enough time for the media folks to put a video tribute together for todays game.

WIVB and WGRZ both reporting it was a car accident at Main St. and Salt Road in Clarence. Which is like maybe 5 or 10 minutes from my house.
I cannot believe this.
RIP Rick Martin.

I read something that he had a heart attack then got into the crash.

I got to meet Rico and the rest of the French Connection during the World Juniors, and I took their picture for the blog I was writing. And I was at the Atlanta game during Pegula's inception and got to see them skate together for the last time... It just isn't right. I haven't gone through the pictures I took at that game yet, and now it will be too sad.

Poor Rico. Glad he got to see the ownership change and I'm glad Pegula was able to reunite them one last time.

Sabres.com updates their website to pay tribute:

Wow, that's really sad. RIP

I just got done reading the book "Then Perreault Said to Rico..." yesterday too.

Truly a tragedy. Thoughts and prayers for the Martin family.

I can't believe this...RIP Rick. Another reason Terry is amazing. He got them to skate together one last time.

This is one hell of a sad day. I just got the news, coming home from hockey. This has never happened before, but I don't know if I can even get up for this game tonight.

R.I.P. Mr. Martin, you will be missed by everyone.
