Rex Ryan, Rob Ryan and Ed Reed form new 'French Connection'

Ryan, a hockey fan who grew up rooting for the Toronto Maple Leafs, attended several Sabres games this past season with two of his newest defensive assistant coaches: his twin brother, Rob, and one of his favorite former players, Ed Reed.
