Penguins put their rivalry with the Flyers on hold to show support for Oskar Lindblom



Everyone loves a good rivalry in sports, but sometimes things happen that quickly remind fans that there are things in life bigger than sports.

Philadelphia Flyers forward Oskar Lindblom was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, last December, and ever since the news broke players and teams around the league have been showing the 23-year-old love and support during his battle.

On Friday night, the Pittsburgh Penguins hosted the Flyers and members of the Pens put the Battle of Pennsylvania on hold in order to show Lindblom that they’ve got his back, despite being rivals on the ice.



The Penguins and the Flyers have never gotten along on the ice, and they most likely never will, but this is just a reminder from some of the best in the game that life isn’t always about hockey.



Classy move by the Penguins.
