Great post Joe. Taking the game and using it as a jumping off point to discuss a different idea, in this case Drouin and mental health, is a great move. You could probably do this for a lot of match-ups this season...

While the wins and losses take the headlines, it’s the stories that sustain the fans, connecting them to the athletes. The courage you show in this post goes even further, connecting you, the story-teller, to both the athletes and the readers in a very important way—and affirming a shared humanity as part of the package.

I look forward to what ensues here.

Really enjoyable reading as ever Joe.

I'm glad you mustered the chutzpah to do this.
