The Lewler
GOAT BUDGET AINEC
Just saw from Andy's wife's blog post that she is doing a second round of chemo. I was under the impression that she was done with that, but clearly that is not the case. We should consider ourselves very lucky that he is still with the team under these circumstances, as it would have been totally understandable had he taken another leave. This family is fighting a battle that very few people can understand - I certainly can't pretend to truly comprehend how tough it must be...
It's conjecture to be sure, but I imagine hockey is an escape for him, and his wife probably wants him to have that escape.
It also undoubtedly has given him a massive dose of perspective which could be allowing him even greater mental clarity that usual for him.. and goaltending is in large parts a mental exercise.
I just hope she continues on the path to recovery. Forget about hockey. **** cancer.
