Earlier this year Bryan Bickell was diagnosed with MS. The news came as a shock to everyone who followed Bickell during his NHL career. He been such a playoff performer for the Blackhawks in two consecutive seasons, then his production took a nose dive. I was very critical of Bickell in his last season with the Blackhawks, and I felt awful after the news broke about his condition. The condition, however, did not stop Bickell, who vowed to return to the NHL this season.
