Svech, Foegs and Hamilton are pretty close friends. Interesting.
I knew they were friends, but I don't I think I realized to what extent. That makes them both scoring two goals even more touching. I'm not crying, you're crying.
A couple of quotes from an article (won't post more than that to respect the site rules):
It’s safe to assume he never wanted to be a villain or a hero. He’d prefer his close friendships with Canes rookies Andrei Svechnikov and Warren Foegele weren’t some juicy storyline, but the three are very close friends, and suddenly that means everything.
“It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through on the ice,” he told The Athletic postgame. “I don’t really even know what to say. I just kept thinking of him the whole game. I just hated seeing that. I hated the whole part of it. I just feel so bad for him. Hopefully, he gets better soon. The game doesn’t really matter when something like that happens. You just can’t get that out of your head. I just hope he’s OK.”
Svechnikov scored two goals in Game 1. Hamilton and Foegele returned the favor with two apiece in front of a finally sold-out PNC Arena.
“It’s an unfortunate incident there, but that’s our brother,” Foegele said. “We stand up for each other. We knew we needed to get this win not just for us, but for him … he’s one of my best friends.”
ETA: obviously I'm new to this forum. Do we have a nickname for this Trio of Jerks?
