"They, "The French Connection", are the face of the franchise. They will be here with me for a long time", Terry Pegula told me after the Sabres 4-1 win over arch rival Atlanta.
Mr. Pegula LOVES 7-11-14. He's just like you and me.
"To see Renee, Gilbert and Rico back together again is great. I sat in the back of the box and talked with them and watched this great game. I'm thrilled to have them here with me".
Robert has been estarnged from the Sabres for the past couple of years and its great to see him back home where he belongs.
Here's the pregame ceremony from my vantage point on press row.

I spoke with Tyler Myers, Pommer and Miller after the game. Their videos are coming soon.
Check back in a few....

Here's a beauty! Terry Pegula going one on one with Rayzor. Note Mr. Pegula's grip on his game puck. The players voted him "Game MVP", and as is the custom, the owner had to make a speech to the whole team before the media were allowed into the room.
'His speech was very emotional. He told us that he's no better than we are. We are all the same", Pommer said.

Ryan Miller has been playing like a Vezina since the beginning of the Caps game. Here, he gets props from his new owner.

Ryan Miller made 39 saves, several of the highlight reel variety en route to the 4-1 wins vs. Atlanta. The Sabres now trail eighth place Carolina by only three points. ATL now Trail Buffalo by two. The Sabres have games in hand on the Rangers, Canes, and Thrashers.
Mr. Miller, take a bow.

Sabres do not disappoint in front of Terry Pegula and his family. Nice four point win for Buffalo as they snap their three game home losing skid.
