I think Harry Caray is the reason I liked Rick Jeanerette so much when I went to college in Buffalo Sabres' country. I grew up with the legendary, bumbling drunk broadcaster with the Chicago Cubs until he died in 1998. It was a sad day in the Morgan household when we learned of Caray's death on CBS's Winter Olympics coverage. It was fitting they would make the playoffs that year. Jeanerette is the exact same character, just in puck land. He filled the void that Caray's death created.
