Re: Bryan Murray diagnosed with cancer
I wish him all the best.
Terrible news. I hope it's treatable and he responds well.
Any news about this?
Don't think so, although him, Mark Reeds and Max Keeping are all being honoured during the Hockey Fights Cancer presentation tonight. I found it interesting, as this confirms Mark Reeds has cancer. I think last year they reduced his role because of health issues but never addressed it.
Also, something pretty classy.
To raise awareness, for the Bruins Hockey Fights Cancer night, a lot of the players made up cards saying who they're fighting for. Chris Kelly's was Bryan Murray.
A few Nashville players also wrote Bryan Murray's name .. That is awesome on their part and shows great respect towards BM..
I've seen him on TV a few times since - he looks thinner but otherwise appears to be handling it well. I don't really have anything else to go off than that...
Thanks guys. Do we even know what form of cancer he has?
I know the stories at the time deliberately left out the type of cancer.
Yeah, I think everyone that knows what type is being very tight-lipped about it because Bryan doesn't want that out there. You can't play him, really.

Awesome! Do you have a link to this? I'd love to see it.
If you look up the official Sens page on FB, you'll see the picture. Shea Webber, Mike Fisher and the mascot are those that I remember... I think the article was posted yesterday on the Sens FB page.
Wow, just saw a picture of Bettman holding a sign with Brian Murray's name..
