    From a fellow goalie who's fighting Stage IV cancer, it's amazing what hockey can do for emotional healing. I hope one day I can say, I'm a survivor.

      Flyers/Kings fan here, Christopher, and I can't stand the Rangers either but I'm totally with you in that I truly do believe Lundqvist is a true class act, no question about it and things like this clearly prove it. He didn't HAVE to do it, he did it because he wanted to do it and while I can't stand the Rangers, I have immense respect for Hank and would love nothing more than to see the Blueshirts win the Cup at least once for Hank because a true class act like him deserves to have his hands hold Lord Stanley just once in his career! I just wish I had Hank's fashion sense though! He totally looks awesome, no matter what! Stay classy, Hank! :-)
      My father's a lifelong Ranger fan too and he's in his 70's now and while he FINALLY saw them win it in 1994 after 54 years of trying, I'd love to see them win it for Connor and his family and for my father as well too. I don't know how many more years I'm gonna have with him so if they could put the smile on his face one last time, that would mean a ton to me, no question. Don't know if it'll happen or not but with a quality coach in Quinn now, I see no reason why they can't. Congrats to Connor and his family too, this had to be really amazing, no question about it! Congrats for kicking cancer's ass 3x, big guy! Let's hope it NEVER comes back! :-)

Henrik is on that level. Henrik is so so unselfish for what he did off the ice. Amazing. Henrik makes me proud to be a Ranger fan. I want more players like this who kids look up to and help grow the game. I hope Connor is doing well. What a great story

Hockey gets implanted in hockey players’ heads somehow; I myself was diagnosed with a rare brain virus almost 10 years ago and lost nearly all short term memory EXCEPT for hockey-related thing (thought my mom’s name was Ottawa and my dad’s name was San Jose) somehow. Not putting the story on myself, just stating how I never would have kept a positive attitude without hockey similar to how this boy has! I hope he doesn’t have to go through cancer anymore!!

I was lucky enough to work in a hospital that the White Sox (met Bill Veeck which was awesome), the Bears and the Hawks went to when they were injured and recovering. The Hawks players were so awesome. I met Terry Rutkowski, a nice dude, Reggie Kerr, Doug Wilson and .... They were the nicest bunch of guys and very approachable and friendly with autographs.

What you see on TV isn't the half of it he does a lot of charity work and hospital visits that are not a part of the team or league promotions he does it on his own time.. Like every year the Penguins do a promotion where the players deliver season tickets to people that bought them each player makes one delivery gets some photos and that's that.. Not Crosby with him it's an all day thing going to several homes!... And Evgeni Malkin is another very underrated person he is just kinda shy and doesn't like the attention he gets..

    No offense but stem cell research etc will save our elderly and our children. Pray for them..fine, but let's use all our collective knowledge to beat this ugly disease.

    There is nothing miraculous about cancer treatment being successful. Even if temporary. The over-dramatic use of this word cheapens the reality that we only react to cancer rather than aim to prevent it. We don't come close to understanding the causes because we focus on treatments almost exclusively. Thus to say Connor was cured is incorrect and that his temporary remissions were miracles is also incorrect. I wouldn't wish this on anyone and am glad he has fought so well and come through so well, so far, and that he was recognized in this way. But let's stop with the miraculous talk, can we please? He overcame some long odds. That's not a miracle. It is a combination of medical knowledge, grit and determination and some luck, along with factors that we don't yet understand. Until there is a reason to invoke the supernatural let's tone down the hyberbole.
