'Ray remembers a similar occurrence during his playing days, when he and his teammates came to the aide of former captain Pat LaFontaine, much like Buffalo came to the aid of Chris Drury against Ottawa. "Years ago when Patty LaFontaine got his jaw broken against Calgary, that next game back here in Buffalo…there was a lot of attention to it. That night we had a frickin' all-out line brawl. We ended up being in their bench. I was right in by the trainers in the Calgary bench. That was probably the one that was an emotional fight. For a team, that was it."'
