Video: Brian Boyle Scoring In 1st Game After Leukemia Diagnosis Is Fantastic
Source – Center Brian Boyle got his New Jersey Devils a 1-0 lead with a goal early in the first period of tonight’s game against the Oilers. And it felt pretty damn good: because it ended a 29-game scoreless streak, sure, but chiefly because it was his first goal since being diagnosed with leukemia in September.
What a feeling for @BriBrows22.#BoyleStrong #HockeyFightsCancer https://t.co/0fk6Aa7Npw

“I’ve never cried after a goal before,” he said when interviewed on the broadcast at the end of the period. “It’s a lot. It’s everything. Everything I talked about before the game… my wife, my kids, they’ve been through a lot too. It’s a good feeling.”

Good for the soul watching one of the good guys in the NHL score in game 1 after being told he had cancer. oilers won in OT because Connor McDavid is a freak but who cares. Boyle just flipped cancer the middle finger.
Take this into the weekend and enjoy. Happy Friday Brian Boyle!
