Oh man, the storylines in this one are riiiiiich.
Start with the homecoming of quite possibly the most popular human this franchise has ever employed, aside from maybe the head coach. Tonight, John Forslund will take an elevator ride up to the fifth floor of PNC Arena, turn left down the hallway, zig-zag around the CanesVision control room, past the table with the popcorn and the Sour Patch Kids and the gummy bears and the refrigerator of canned Pepsi products.
He’s done all this before, countless times. But tonight, he’ll be opening the door to the visitor’s broadcast booth.
