There won't be any huge retrospective here - just an expression of sincere admiration for George. I'm not sure I entirely understood what he was saying some of the time (which usually corresponded with a Blue Jackets goal or highlight reel save), but there was no mistaking his love of the team and the sport. How many nights I strolled through the XM, looking for the Blue Jackets game, only to smile when I heard his unmistakable voice!
If (when?) the Blue Jackets establish a Ring of Honor, I hope that the team has the good sense to save a spot for George.
Good luck on the next chapter of your life, George. And thank you.
Wish George could have stuck around for a few years now that prospects are looking up for the team. He has gone through the same things that we fans have suffered and deserves to enjoy the successes.
ReplyDeleteGeorge seems more like a friend than a talking head. A class act, and great ambassador for the CBJ.
Godspeed, Mr. Matthews.
