The story of the Buffalo Sabres is one of perseverance against long odds. Many thought that Buffalo was too small to support an NHL franchise and would have to rely on fans from across the border, but the city quickly proved the naysayers wrong. Supported from the beginning by an enthusiastic homegrown fan base and initially led by gifted management, the expansion team reached the pinnacle of the sport--the Stanley Cup Finals--in only five seasons.

"Then Perreault Said to Rico..." unearths many treasures from the Sabres' early years, colorful stories about the players and games that cemented Buffalo's reputation as a great NHL city. Learn the inside story of how the Knox brothers, Norty and Seymour, convinced the NHL to give Buffalo a shot. Follow the team's first coach and general manager, Punch Imlach, as he built a Stanley Cup contender from scratch. Relive the birth of the famed French Connection--Martin, Perreault, and Robert--and classic contests such as the infamous Fog Game. Look back on triumphs such as Danny Gare's 50-goal seasons and tragedies such as Tim Horton's accidental death during the 1973-74 campaign. Recall the exploits of many other Sabres greats: Jim Schoenfeld, Fred Atkins, Craig Ramsay, Jim Lorentz, even Taro Tsujimoto, the greatest fictional player in NHL history.

The key to this timeless collection of Sabres tales is author Paul Wieland, former longtime public-relations director in Buffalo. Wieland was with the team from the beginning, and his stories ring with authenticity and heart. His insider's view and honest profiles of players, coaches, and other personalities will delight true Sabres fans and bring to life the people who were the franchise's first heroes. "Then Perreault Said to Rico..." is the perfect way to reconnect with the Sabres' early years, which helped cement the team's place in NHL lore and is the next-best thing to a seat behind the glass in the Aud..

"Then Levy Said to Kelly..." collects many of the best stories and anecdotes in the history of the Buffalo Bills.

With his trademark emotional heft and storytelling skill, bestselling author Chris Bohjalian presents this resonant novel about the formation of an unconventional family–the ties that bind it, and the strains that pull it apart. Two years after their twin daughters died in a flash flood, Terry and Laura Sheldon, a Vermont state trooper and his wife, take in a foster child. His name is Alfred; he is ten years old and African American. And he has passed through so many indifferent families that he can’t believe that his new one will last.

In the ensuing months Terry and Laura will struggle to emerge from their shell of grief only to face an unexpected threat to their marriage; Terry’s involvement with another woman. Meanwhile, Alfred cautiously enters the family circle, and befriends an elderly neighbor who inspires him with the story of the buffalo soldiers, the black cavalrymen of the old West. Out of the entwining and unfolding of their lives, The Buffalo Soldier creates a suspenseful, moving portrait of a family, infused by Bohjalian’s moral complexity and narrative assurance..
