Sabres broadcaster ‘doing well’ after being hospitalized
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The longtime voice of the Buffalo Sabres hasn’t been silenced after being wheeled out of the press box on a stretcher.
Rick Jeanneret is “resting and doing well,” the Sabres announced Sunday, about 12 hours after the Hall of Fame broadcaster was transported to the hospital during the third period of Buffalo’s victory over the Anaheim Ducks.
And, the team added, the 76-year-old Jeanneret already is looking forward to returning to the broadcast booth following the NHL’s three-day Christmas break.
The update came about an hour after The Athletic reported that Jeanneret texted the publication, writing: “Still kicking.”
