So cool. I just got back from the Sharks game in San Jose where Foppa visited with his Nashville in”The Sharks Tank” (or HP Pavillion which is the actual name). It wasn’t one of his greatest games, but he played as he usually does, nothing fancy but always clean, gets the puck through all the time and manage to really shine a few occasions. In the last period he got some free ice and it didn’t take more than a few seconds before he served one of his team mates on the blade free with the goalie. Unfortunately the teammate missed the goal. Damn.
On another occasion a Sharks player tried to get him out of balance lying on him in the Sharks defensive zone trying to get him out of balance. He more looked at the guy as “What are you doing? Are you gonna lie on top of me for long?”. It was actually quiet funny.
Nevertheless it was clear that people had a sincere respect for his abilities both the team on the ice and the people I met in the arena. I can only say one thing. It was so cool to see him live in a Stanley Cup playoff game. Amazing.
