As the game’s first star, Nelson got the in-arena post-game interview with Shannon Hogan, who began with “I’m going there, my friend” as she cut the onions in front of the pending UFA, who is in his 12th season with the only NHL franchise he’s ever known.
Nelson kept his answers sincere but short, his voice sounded on the verge of breaking as he reflected on the potential finality of this moment.
