    RIP Rick Martin....Never Forget " the French Connection "

    Very sad news today as former Buffalo Sabre Rick Martin passed away after suffering a heart attack while driving. Martin was 59.
    Along with Gilbert Perreault and Rene Robert, the trio made up the legendary "French Connection" line for the Sabres. Martin was a prolific scoring winger for the team, registering eight seasons of 32 goals or more, including back-to-back 52-goal campaigns. A seven-time All-Star and two-time 1st Team NHLer, Martin had his No. 7 retired to the rafters in Buffalo in 1995 and is flanked by the retired numbers of his former linemates.

    Number 7 forever. Very classy move by the Sabres to have his number on the ice. RIP 7.
