Bollig got a lot of grief in Chicago for many of the same reasons that I've seen posted here at CP...myself, I liked the guy's attitude, versatility, and willingness to play the grinding, middleweight, enforcer role, while still maintaining some hockey IQ, and being able to contribute. Heck, he had better offensive numbers than Burish or Eager had, and was a 4th rotation PK guy, a bonus as the team's 12th forward...

I will always wish him success, and if that success translates to better hockey for my friends here at CP, all the better.
