After four decades in the NHL, the New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia Flyers established historic rivalry. It’s safe to say that both hockey markets never liked one another.
On Friday, the Devils put that heated rivalry aside, and rightfully so, for fellow NHLer Oskar Lindblom. The Flyers forward was unfortunately diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma in December, which is a form of bone cancer.
While Lindblom received heartwarming support from Philadelphia and other NHL cities since the diagnosis, it was great to see his former teammate in Wayne Simmonds and the Devils show their devotion for the former fifth-round draft pick.
