You know watching the games we as fans go through an array of emotions because we love this team, but when something happens like this to a young kid it’s above the sport, and it’s encouraging and heart warming to hear AV and all Oskar’s teammates say seeing him is/was the best part of their day, sometimes I get ahead of myself rooting for this team but however this season turns out, I hope more than the Flyers winning Oskar wins this fight

Any discussion related to Nolan Patrick should be conducted in that thread.
Just so we have the latest info documented, here are quotes from GM Fletcher regarding Lindblom:
PRESS CONFERENCE: An update on Patrick and Lindblom
In Lindblom's case, the 23-year-old recently began treatments and things seem to be going well so far, but it's still far too early in the process for a resumption of playing hockey to enter the discussion.
Nevertheless, Fletcher still considers Lindblom to be very much part of the team's plans in the long term.
"I hope so, yeah. I pray to God for [him to play again], But, obviously, for him to return to play hockey, means he's in a great spot in this battle so we're just keeping our hopes up. I'm sure he's got a lot of things on his mind right now, but if he's playing hockey this time next year, that would be a great conclusion," Fletcher said.
"I wasn't at the rink when he came by but I know everybody was excited to see him. Certainly, at some point, we'll kind of leave it to Oskar and his camp [to discuss his situation in detail]. With this situation like this, when it's your personal health and a non-hockey thing, you always want to be a little bit careful what you say, but you know the treatments are going and I know he's got a great attitude. But it's probably pretty early in the process to have that type of update. At some point, certainly, depending on what Oskar's thoughts are, hopefully we can make that available."

Thanks MSE.
I think it’s a great sign for Fletcher to say it would be a great conclusion if he was playing this time next year. To me, it means the tumor is not weight bearing and is not a bone like the humerus which would likely need stabilization after treatment and then rehab for a year. It would be too early to know if there is spread but it’s a good scenario being a pro athlete and having things checked hopefully within weeks of pain starting. Hopefully he will let us know where it is and if there is spread to see what his prognosis may be and also he career outlook.

That standing ovation when he suits up again is going to be one of a kind. Can not wait for that day.

Obviously can't read too much into that, but i'm so happy to see him be able to do things he loves, even if it's as simple as skating for a few moments.

If I was a player with the possibility of becoming a Flyer, the support for Oskar would not be lost on me. The way the Flyer community has stepped up has been fantastic. Notable to me is the role of Kim Parent in this. Her work has been fantastic. Beyond that is the fact of who she is, Bernie’s daughter. The Flyer community is strong and now goes back for generations. Once a Flyer, always a Flyer and the community is always behind you. A class organization from the beginning of its existence.
It's not just the Flyers though in this it's the NHL as a whole. The outpouring throughout the league has been phenomenal.

Notice the complete lack of support by the Penguins on Tuesday?

Not surprising considering Pittsburgh is an utterly classless organization. You would think Mario would have empathy for Oskar considering Mario had Hodgkin's disease in the prime of his career. Guess not.
f*** cancer.

I have a great feeling that Oskar is going to beat this and will play again.

Silly question but will he still be re-signed as a rfa ? How does it work.... If they want to keep his rights.
