Rick Jeanneret is a legend in Buffalo. He's been the play-by-play commentator for the Sabres for 51 years & been on the call for all of the team's monumental moments in that span. From the infamous May-Day call to Jack Eichel's first as a Sabre, he's been in the mix. Tonight the Sabres will honor the longtime play-by-play man prior to puck drop vs. the Nashville Predators.

En route to the game, the teams' players all donned Jeanneret's iconic look. The sweater/suspenders combo is insanely fashionable, especially these days when everyone's wearing high top sneakers & skinny jeans. The look radiates class & omits pure nostalgia, which are two things RJ epitomizes. Those, and a one-of-a-kind voice perfect for hockey's biggest stage.

What a run, Mr. Jeanneret.
