Buffalo Sabres announcer Rick Jeanneret announced this morning that he is returning to a full time schedule as the play by play man for the Sabres.

Jeanneret made the announcement on Sabres Hockey Hot-line with  Kevin Sylvester Show this morning:



This marks a big increase in games called by Jeanneret in 2012, after announcing less than half of the Sabres road games in 2011-12.

Jeanneret has been calling Sabres games for 41 years and will be enshrined into the Hockey Hall of Fame this year after receiving the Foster Hewett Award.
