Oskar Lindblom received the devasting news of his Ewings Sarcoma diagnosis over fourteen months ago now. The young gun took everything in stride, kicked cancer’s ass, and returned to playoff hockey. He then entered the 2021 season with a “clean” bill of health and on the top line with Sean Couturier and Travis Konecny. This line was a dominant line for the Flyers prior to Lindblom’s hiatus.
After hearing the news of Lindblom’s diagnosis, I wrote a piece about the kind of man he truly is – a 24-year-old who treats everyone with dignity and respect.
