Sorry to hear he had cancer, but glad to hear it's been removed and he's going through with chemo. One can never be too aggressive when it comes to cancer (especially when one's in good enough health to undergo chemotherapy).

Get well soon Edzo!

 

[JaegerDice]

All the best wishes to him and his family. **** cancer.

 

[TLEH]

He'll be back better than ever. Not even worried. Good luck Edzo.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Tough tough guy Edzo, best wishes to you and your family and look forward to seeing you back in the booth soon

 

[Marotte Marauder]

WOW, young guy, in pretty good shape should do well. Best of luck to recovery Edzo from your first hockey organization!

[Captain Fantastic]

Hope for a good recovery for him. Alarming new statistics released today on colon cancer. It's on the rise for people under 50.

Really tough news to hear. Hope he gets well soon

When I saw his name first I thought he had taken some job somewhere but this was unexpected. Get well soon.

 

[CPHawksFan]

Get well soon Edzo! You'll beat this!

“On behalf of everyone at NBC Sports, we wish Eddie and his family all the best as they cope with this health issue. Our top priority is for Edzo to get healthy, so he won’t be joining us at the beginning of the season. We’ll have information on how we’ll staff those games soon. But most of all, we’re looking forward to the day when Edzo comes off IR, and rejoins Doc and Pierre to call the great game of hockey.â€

I know it is partly (mostly) PR, but still nice to see NBCS say that.

Sending positive thoughts your way

 

[Sarava]

Best of wishes to him. I hope they caught it soon enough.

 

[ChiHawks10]

**** cancer. Hope he gets well soon.

 

[coolhand]

Get well soon Edzo, we'll miss you on the broadcasts with Pat and Doc.

 

[Blue Liner]

My mother had colon cancer twice so this one hits home a little closer. Hope all goes well for him. ****** news.

 

[LordKOTL]

Brutal.

 

[ColdSteel2]

Hope to see Edzo make a full recovery.

Eddie is local Chicago hockey. He made good with all the potential he flashed at Brother Rice. The Blackhawks are the Blackhawks. Eddie is Chicago ... even more than Chris Chelios. Hope for a speedy recovery.
