- Popovici attended Seattle’s home game against the Canucks on Saturday, meeting Hamilton before the puck dropped.
- The internet community helped us find Brian’s hero, Nadia, and tonight they met in person where he got to express his sincerest thank you to her for saving his life.
- He says he got the mole removed half an hour before a game, and subsequent screenings were negative for anything cancerous.
