Eddie Olczyk diagnosed with colon cancer (upd: officially cancer-free!)

[chicagoskycam]

Eddie is a hometown icon and a face of the NHL. Get well soon. If any of you are starting to push north of 30 get checked out. When they find it precancerous it's not a bid deal.

Article on CNN today about more young adults being diagnosed with Colon Cancer.

Finally some good ****ing news about this organization.

Good stuff I am really happy for Edzo he has been missed I am just sick of listening to Steve. Anyone thinks he can lace em up as I am sure he will be better than half of this pathetic roster iced now!

This might be the best representation of your "contributions" to this board.

I would love to lace them up against you.

Hahahahaha I just died

LMAOOOOO I gotta say that was funny

Get well Eddie

Foley has been "lost" for a long time.

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

Foley has been "lost" for a long time.

Foley used to be truly awesome, pre Wolves, but he is almost all shtick now, which sucks. He's fallen off big time.

I think at this point in the current season, it's just exaggerated due to the fact that he's likely hammered watching every game due to the disgusting performance of the team. He's passionate about the team, and tells it like it is. No denying that. And I'll take him over Konroyd any day of the week.

Edzo, you can't come back soon enough.

I look forward to Edzo coming back, but I'm already dreading the first 3:33 reference.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Bummer. I'm going to miss Konroyd. I truly enjoy his exhilarating analysis and presentation.

Then again, I enjoy vanilla ice cream, khaki slacks from Lands End, builders beige wall paint, my 2008 silver base model Toyota Camry and humming along to a nice Peter Cetera song.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Seriously though wonder if he'll be the same guy. Eddie was bringing some interesting criticism. Particularly when interviewed on the Score and espn 1000. Took major shots at Toews and Saad and said last year was a mirage because by his count, he had 20-25 goalie wins by Crow.

Will he bring that same vigor?

Foley said is last night. It's the soft serve you gotta watch out for

 

[Backyard Hockey]

I went to lunch yesterday with Steve Konroyd. We went to the Tom Colichio's amazing Craft Steak restaurant in the MGM
Grand.

I ordered the A5 12 oz Japanese Wagyu Filet and diver sea scallops with a side of bacon infused Brussels sprouts in a bourdelais reduction

Steve Konroyd ordered a broiled boneless chicken breast with peas.

Just you and him? Or you were in the restaurant with him?

Or is this a Steve K is boring as shit joke.

Also, I feel for you if you had to attend the NGA show.

In fairness to Foley, there is a good chance that "turd" is the best description of the 3rd period for the remainder of the year.

Yeah Foley's subtle jabs are not so subtle. You could hear it on the 4th goal. You can hear it everytine Keith misses the net and you can hear it everytine Schmaltz 'refuses to shoot'.

Dude - cmon

It was a joke. Meant to illustrate that Konroyd is the most boring milquetoast person on the planet.

He is the auto equivalent of a Toyota Camry or the musical equivalent of a best if Bryan Adams playlist.

Remember the scene in 40 Year Old Virgin where Steve Carrel is telling Seth Rogen and the guys about his weekend and he describes really wanting an egg salad sandwich and that whole processes? That's basically what a Steve Konroyd broadcast sounds like. I'm waiting for Foley to go 'oh, cool. Cool. Cool. Cool' like Seth Rogen did.

How is anyone supposed to know it was a joke? It looked like a random story. Maybe add

Solid joke though.

Dude you are too uptight lately, let loose let it go lol, it was obviously a joke since we would have heard him chilling with Steve in the past...
