First off, I want to give props to THE captain of the Columbus Blue Jackets, Nick Foligno.
As you will recall, I questioned whether he was the right fit to wear the “C”, mainly pending a potential postseason, or lack thereof, failure. Just a ‘what if, maybe there’s a leadership change that needs to happen?’ type of pondering.
Well, that second article, which went into greater depths to explain my reasoning nearly coincided with Foligno’s daughter, Milana, having to undergo a planned surgery. Hockey season, of course continues on, regardless of the curveballs life can throw at any of us.
