Former Sabre Rick Martin has died in a car accident in the Buffalo, New York suburb of Clarence. The two car crash happened shortly after noon Sunday. A law enforcement official told the Buffalo News, speaking on the condition of anonymity, that Martin appears to have had a heart attack behind the wheel.
Martin, along with Rene Robert and Gilbert Perrault, was part of the famed "RPM Line/French Connection" that led the Sabres to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1970's.
