Great move by the organization!

 

[Grizz MacArthur]

Awesome!!

 

[Step]

That's awesome.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

**** me, that's a depressing condition

Really cool move by the team

 

[derriko]

Really smart, well spoken kid.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Damn...that poor kid. You would think there would be so much more that medical science could do for him.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Man this is truly heartbreaking. It also puts a lot into perspective, we're very blessed with the health we have but we take it all for granted.

God bless you, kid. Keep fighting the good fight. So happy Ottawa did this.

 

[Liliaceae]

His story made me teary eyed, he's a tough brave guy.

 

[Sens Mile]

God Dammit Eugene, resorting to child labour

 

[Hank Chinaski]

[Sun God Nika]

Respect.

Poor kid, brought tears to my eyes, great job from the sens to give this kid a day like this.

 

[Sens Mile]

Pitre whispers to Murray "Why is David Legwand playing on the second line?"

 

[Six Assets]

smart kid

 

[dumbdick]

Very smart kid. Could have a career in hockey one day.

 

[Sun God Nika]

?? sensitive much?

That wasn't even directed negatively to the kid in anyway.

Did anyone see karlssons debate on shaking his hand?

I felt awkward watching that.

video?

 

[HavlatMach9]

i believe it was a cast or something on his hand and karlsson wasn't sure how to greet but had a nice moment with him after

special night for the kid

 

[jbeck5]

video?

They showed it on tonights broadcast. Showed the team meeting him...and when karlsson came up he extended his hand...then realized its all bandaged up...so he stopped...then thought maybe...then just went with a little wave and said hi. I felt they probably should have edited that out, but probably wanted the scene with the captain.

It's still not funny
