Highly doubt it. Tweet and incident dont line up to me. He says him and family members passed in a freak accident. Getting struck by a car isnt a freak accident plus only one other person was killed, so family members makes no sense

See my previous comment above. If it's true that he's in town for his sister's wedding, then it's very plausible that it could both be him and a family member (his brother).

According to both CBS and ABC Philadelphia, police at least confirmed that it was two bicyclists were struck and killed by the same vehicle:

https://6abc.com/post/old...ey-salem-county/15245621/

I agree it's wrong to call it a freak accident. Call it an "incident" (with out the "freak"). When someone is at fault, which is most likely the case, than it can never be an accident. Unintentional, yes. But still no accident.

This is so weird. I was refreshing before I went to bed to see if Johnny Hockey is alright and I wake up this morning and I’m still refreshing the internet. Nothing still has been confirmed.

I hope he’s alright!

I've seen them 25 times. One of my best memories is being able to take my daughter to see the R40 show because I knew it would probably be the only chance she would ever get to see them. She fell asleep halfway through the second set as she was only 8.

That was a great show, I remember meeting up with you in the parking lot. Hard to believe that my first show was nearly 44 years ago!

If the Flyers would have made this move you would have reamed them a new Ahole. Just stop already!

stfu you dip schitt.

as currently constructed they have no need for him when your paying 1.7 for ND and 2.3 for GH. always losing at the margins.

You missed the premise of my comment dip$hit! If the Flyers brought him back you'd be whining cause it's another ex player brought back, but some other team signs him and it's a good signing. Please remind me again. Why do you pretend to be a Flyers fan? It just cracks me up that you seem to worship these other teams while dumping on the Flyers day after day. Have a wonderful day!

no you missed the "premise" of my original post. of which had noting to do with the flyers.

I would say there is no need as I explained.

yes it is a solid signing. Mean while the flyers rush to give GH a 2 year ext when there was zero need.
