In the world of professional sports, it feels like every game means so much, but we're often hit with a dose of perspective that reminds us they don't. Not in the grand scheme of things, at least. Some things in life will always matter so much more.
Ottawa Senators goalie Craig Anderson and wife Nicholle revealed last week through the team that Nicholle has been diagnosed with cancer. Anderson quickly was granted a leave of absence from the team. It lasted two days before Anderson came back, at Nicholle's urging, to help his team after his backup Andrew Hammond went down with an injury the day after Anderson's leave was announced.
