sjradio 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2009 The Columbus Blue Jackets fan that was the unofficial playoff inspiration for the Blue Jackets this playoff year lost his year long battle with cancer. He signed a one day contract for $3 dollars and one of the "incentives" was watching the Jackets first playoff game at Nationwide Arena http://bluejackets.nhl.com/RyanSalmons.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms_Hockey 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2009 Oh wow. I remember reading about him and knowing he'd pass, but I certainly didn't think it'd be so soon. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. That is truly heartbreaking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSchlenske 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2009 Wow, way too sad. I was just watching Day In The Life on NHL Network with Ryan Clowe. They were actually in Columbus for a game and after morning skate brought the kid in the locker room. Too soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zaxx 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2009 Wow this is really sad. Big thanks go out to him and his family, for sharing his story with us, and for taking part in the contract signing. It makes for a very inspiring story, and yet a very tear jerker one at the same time. God rest his soul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
