It’s difficult for me to pick a favorite player, as each player brings something special to the team when they fulfill their role. However, the one player in my eyes, who is the definition of a Columbus Blue Jacket would have to be Nick Foligno. It seems apropos that the captain would be the ideal player on a team, but his balance of offensive skill, grit and defense make him a poster-boy for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have been a physical team for years, and although it wasn’t always Foligno’s main skill; his physicality has become a major part of his game.
