2 years ago at the Phantoms Holiday Party, Oskar Lindblom played Bubble Hockey with my daughter, Aurora, who was 4 at the time. He was very nice to her while she tried to turn the knobs to hit the little puck. I don't think he initially knew that she was my kid. Really good guy.

Awful news about @oskarlindblom. Some things are way more important than hockey. Just hoping Oskar makes a full recovery.

Well said!DP, I appreciate your expert perspective and that of your colleague.
I am going to leave it at that because I am having trouble distancing my genuine deep sadness for a young man in the prime of his life from my small-child selfishness at the loss of his talent from this team.

Great stuff! The only type of replies I don’t love are the “You got this!” types. Not that they mean any ill-will. I just think it’s easy to say “you got this!” to someone who is staring in the face of an extremely difficult, scary, unknown & potentially fatal battle with a horrible disease. Not really what I’d want to hear.
The person I knew had the Ewing Sarcoma in his back. I would imagine that is pretty much the worst place to have it. I hope Lindblom’s is in an area with a better prognosis.
I’d like to see the Flyers use Oscar’s situation as the basis of a Flyers against cancer drive. Maybe we could buy Lindblom jerseys in support of Oscar with a portion of the cost going to the fight against cancer.From what I understand through research, yellow is the ribbon color for this disease.

This is the only location mentioned, even in a general term:
HockeyBuzz.com - Bill Meltzer - Oskar Lindblom Diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma
The team subsequently confirmed that the cancerous tumor is located on Lindblom's upper body. His absence from the team's lineup on Wednesday in Colorado was categorized as an upper-body injury.
Yes, upper-body scares me because it could be the center of the body.
