thesportsbuff Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 The Buffalo News reports that Rick Martin has passed away. Rick Martin, one-third of the most fabled line in Buffalo Sabres history, died today of a heart attack. He was 59. Martin reportedly had a heart attack while driving in Clarence, a law enforcement officer said on the condition of anonymity. Sad, sad news.
Robviously Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 OMG... The time of that is just eerie.... Horrible news. Rest in peace, Rick. Might as well make the obvious point: How much more meaningful does Pegula's introduction feel right now? Geez.
sabres1970 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 OMG... The timing of that is just eerie.... Wow, it really is. I'm literally shocked right now.
Twist_to_open Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 Shocking and sad news, Rest In Peace, Rick.
kishoph Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 This is a big loss to the organization just when things are looking up and we were hoping to see more involvement from the alumni. Rest in Peace RICK MARTIN, this fan will always remember you as one of the best to ever put on a Sabres uniform.
LGR4GM Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 ... :cry: glad he met pegula and knew his old team was in good hands, hope they have a moment of silence today... R.I.P. Rick Martin
JoDo Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 My Uncle just sent me a message telling me, very sad. So glad the three were together at that Atlanta game. Very very sad.
X. Benedict Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 Oh dear. Thanks for the memories, Rico. And thanks Terry for bringing them together one last time. As Lee Coppola coined - Martin from Robert and Perreault....that's a French Connection. :( Rest in Peace. And thoughts and prayers to all of Rick's friends and family throughout WNY, the Sabres community, and elsewhere.
SabresMojo Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 Got a text update with this sad sad news! Feelings and prayers to the Martin family. Glad TP met all three! Moment of silence better happen. Im sure the team will have patches by the Canes game or the Thrash game on Saturday.
Thedefeated Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 Terrible news. I'll be at the game tonight, hopefully they do something great for him...and win obviously.

Stoner Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 Saw the subject line. Hoped beyond hope it was some kind of joke. Moments of silence are fine and that's what they'll rightly have. This guy deserves a moment of cheering.
