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

Of course they'll re-sign him.

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

You mean like this?

Yeah I was talking about the first game in Philly.

It was nice to see them do something in Pitt though. I applaud them.

Very sobering to hear that. Just hope they caught Oskars earlier.

I don't like to speculate when Oskar's was caught, but I'm hoping it was earlier than the Russian player given his battle was 4 months (If I read correctly). It will soon be 2 months since Oskar was diagnosed and they've shown him at games and even life outside of hockey. Showing him at games and in social media posts gives me hope his was caught far earlier than the Russian player.

Sobering story from the Reading newspaper this weekend.


Joyce Ortiz, who dreamed of becoming a Marine, passed away this week after her yearslong battle with cancer.
Joyce, 18, passed away at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center Thursday after battling Ewing sarcoma since 2015.

She received a police escort back to Reading on Thursday night as police vehicles lined Penn Street as the procession crossed Second Street. More than two dozen on-duty and off-duty officers came out to salute Joyce in an impromptu tribute.
Her stepfather, Officer Ervin Gonzalez, said her family was overwhelmed by the display of support.
“They treated her like a queen or princess,” he said Friday.
As the motorcade reached the crest of the Penn Street bridge Thursday night, Joyce’s mom, Giselle Arman, heard the sirens and saw the lights from Penn Street.
She was surprised, humbled and thankful, Gonzalez said.
Mayor Eddie Moran and acting Police Chief Richard Tornielli made Joyce an honorary Reading police officer on Wednesday. Tornielli and police union president Chas Menges brought her badge to the hospital, number 285J — her stepfather’s number with a ‘J.’
Gonzalez said the gesture was unexpected. At that point, Joyce was still fighting for her life, he said.
He had taken her to Hershey on Saturday after her mother found her vomiting. They knew the cancer had progressed to her brain, he said, but she had been doing well. The turn for the worst was unexpected.

You can read the full story here Joyce Ortiz, honorary Reading police officer, dies of cancer but maybe not at work if you don't want people asking why you are crying.

Man. Rough stories.

 

[renberg]

Man. Rough stories.

They are but lets get that negativity out of here. The treatment and evaluation that Oskar is getting is heads and shoulders above what other cases had. That matters a lot.

Man. Rough stories.

Its the reality sadly, Oskar has a horrid form of this POS disease, info is important.

 

[DancingPanther]

ES killed my friend in Nov 2017, he was 24. In his spine.

 

[TheKingPin]

That’s horrendous

 

[Embiid]

ugh.. f*** you cancer!

The Milton S. Hershey Medical Center is a world class hospital that saved the life of a family member born two months premature in the early 70’s. Sometimes people don’t survive despite the best care. I believe Oskar will beat this, but don’t think that just because this young woman didn’t, that the care she received at the Hershey Med Center was lacking in any way at all.

Of course I’d love to see Oskar back in a Flyers uni but most of all I want to see him have a healthy good life. Best wishes for OL.

Was anyone else at the STH meeting from which this was posted. @ronlextall is a solid tweeter, just wanted to know if any HF members were there.

The two goals coincide, for him to have a healthy good life, the damage from the cancer is limited and it goes into complete remission - in which case he should be able to resume his hockey career like Herzlich did in the NFL.

@Hollywood Couturier weren't you also in attendance?

I was. I didn't hear that, but I did record everything that Fletcher said and it's in the Town Hall thread.

A solid tweeter who stands in my seats during warmups every single game, I might add.

Here's Chuck Fletcher. Have fun hacking me, Jojo.

Think it needs to render first since I just uploaded it.

 

[b10]

Late to the thread, but I was also in attendance last night and can confirm that Fletcher did in fact say that he received positive news yesterday regarding Oskar. It was extremely early on, maybe one of the first few things that he touched on.

 

[Larry44]

Is this bad? Do we not like this?

No, it's great news, just hoping someone can elaborate slightly on what he said. Edit: based on what b10 just posted, it looks like he didn't say much more.
