When Zach Sanford was benched in Game 4 of the first round against the Winnipeg Jets, his close friend and Boston College roommate, Chris Calnan reportedly reminded him his best was still to come.
Alex Prewitt of Sports Illustrated wrote that Calnan “laid out a vision of ultimate triumph.”
“I said, ‘Dude, keep your head up,’” Calnan told Prewitt. “I told him, ‘Be ready, because you’re going to get in. You’re going to be playing the Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals. And you’re going to dangle Zdeno Chara for the Game 7 winner in Boston.
