Thanks Bill

Thanks for the update Bill. I hope you and yours are staying safe and sane during these trying times. One can only feel such great admiration and inspiration from Oskar's battle. I really hope he can one day make it back to some form of pro hockey again.

Also great on Laughton. The former Canadian Junior captain definitely had a rough go of it transitioning from CHL to pro hockey. It's great to see him grow and develop through the years. Listening to Jake talk about Laughton on the Spittin' Chicklets podcast was really awesome to see.

I remember hearing about a lot of inquiries into Laughton’s availability at the trade deadline. No thanks.

Congrats Scotty!

Re Oskar: I just want him to have a long, happy and healthy life. Take some time for yourself kid and have some fun. If he can make it back to the NHL and suit up for the Flyers again, that would be fantastic, but in the larger scheme of things it’s not a big deal. Being cancer free and healthy is the big deal.

i hope Laughton's path/success gives confidence to players in the system who don't get to the NHL as quickly as they want (or who get sent back down)

Congrats Scotty!

Agreed. I don't really have any expectations for him playing hockey for the Flyers. If he comes back at some point, that would be pretty remarkable in my opinion. If he doesn't, hopefully he can stay healthy and cancer free.

God I can’t stand Lindy Ruff. Perfect fit with the Devils.
