	Matt Barr -- Mike Foligno -- Jump!
		Foligno played hockey as though he couldn't possibly have cared less whether there was something -- or someone -- between him and his goal, be that a loose puck, the net, his check, whatever.
		(Foligno bristled when I asked him about his and the team's approach during those ten years, saying, "I don't think it was quite ten years," but, unfortunately, it was.) For a man who did and does pride himself on and attributes his success to his "commitment to compete," it was a difficult time.
		Foligno's name isn't on the Stanley Cup, he's not in the NHL record books, except -- and this shouldn't be taken for granted -- as one of the relatively few players to play 1,000 games, he won't be in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
