Thanks for sharing. I like the line it couldn’t have gone better for him. Very positive.

Thanks for posting that article. Good to hear the progress being made. Both those kids have bright futures if they can get healthy.

A point to ponder about Oscar. Lets say his cancer goes into remission (you can't really say cancer is cured until several years pass) and he is in game shape - physically and mentally.

How long before his immune system recovers from radiation/chemo to justify the risk of exposure to Covid-19 in the near future though?

That is a concern for sure. Not sure the answer to that one. But I did read that his bones will be weaker for awhile after treatment. So that could be an additional concern. Tell you the truth. I’m just glad it is going well for the kid and if he gets back to playing hockey then that is icing on the cake.

Although the Flyers didn't get the peak of his career era Forsberg he is still my all time favorite player to watch highlights of.....

Milbury looks all dazed and confused when he got up at around the 2:10 mark. Likely explains the way he is today.

Agreed. I'll be extremely happy for him to live a long and enjoyable life, whether it's with hockey or without.

OK. Time machine question: If we could go back in the time machine to 1991 and redo the Lindros/Forsberg trade, who would you take?

Tough one but I would probably have to go with Forsberg.

As great as Forsberg was, he always had Sakic. Lindros had to carry the club from day one. In a vacuum, I still take Lindros

I think I would too. Lindros was a beast, but his injuries and parental issues outweigh the benefit. Like I've said before, Lindros was a love/hate relationship to me. Forsberg was just an awesome player that likely would have brought us a cup more than Lindros did. Just have to admit it. And I loved Lindros,

Lindros also had plenty of really good players around him. Can't fault for either choice.

It is a really tough question. Both were awesome players. Lindros just had too much baggage IMHO. I'd keep Forsberg. But this is like one of those questions that can't really be answered. Like..... If the Queen had balls, she'd be the King.

It's just the luck here in Philly. We get Forsberg back and all of a sudden he has this foot issue and can't play.

More accurate to say... we got him back...because of the foot condition.

Correct answer!

A Lindros/Forsberg one-two punch up the middle would have been insane

I can only wish! What a duo that would have been. 3 or more Cups most likely. OMG they'd have killed teams.
