Mike Milbury wasn't analyzing a Flyers game.
He was calling the Bruins-Lightning contest Tuesday night at Amalie Arena on NBC Sports Network.
And in doing so, on a national broadcast, he showed that he's "Oskar Strong" for Oskar Lindblom.
Milbury sported an "Oskar Strong" pin during the game to support Lindblom, the Flyers’ 23-year-old forward who is battling Ewing’s sarcoma.
To see that on a national stage is really cool. We've seen the pin and "Oskar Strong" shirts more and more across the NHL, which has been awesome. It says a lot about the hockey community and how it comes together for causes much bigger than wins and losses.
Milbury wearing the pin was pointed out on Reddit and here are some pictures from the broadcast. Much respect to the NBC hockey analyst and to all those who wear the pin daily.
