费城飞人赛季首胜献温情：主帅把比赛用球送给抗癌电台解说员
位于宾夕法尼亚州费城县的费城市（市县合一），费城飞人队10月17日（周六）在主场 Xfinity Mobile Arena以3比1击败渥太华参议员队，拿下本赛季首胜。但比胜负更动人的，是赛后主教练里克·托基特（Ric k Tocchet）的一个举动：他把本场比赛用球送给了球队电台解说员杰森·默特图斯（Jason Myrtetus）。
默特图斯正在与四期癌症抗争。他2024年确诊结肠癌，今年夏天癌细胞扩散到肺部和肝脏，医生曾给出6至24个月的生存预期。比赛当天上午，应托基特的邀请，默特图斯在赛前对全队发表了一番讲话。托基特在赛后新闻发布会上说："赛前先说一句，这颗比赛用球给杰森。他今天的讲话太棒了。"更衣室里，队员们还送给默特图斯一副"洛奇"拳套，全队为他欢呼。
托基特坦言，默特图斯的讲话让球队换了个角度看比赛："他经历的东西是我们无法想象的。"这场胜利让飞人队避免了开季连败，也让这个夜晚多了一层意义。
Flyers' First Win of the Season Comes with a Gift: Coach Gives Game Puck to Radio Voice Battling Cancer
Philadelphia is a city in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania (a consolidated city-county). The Philadelphia Flyers beat the Ottawa Senators 3-1 at home at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Saturday, Oct. 17, for their first win of the season. But the night's most moving moment came afterward, when head coach Rick Tocchet gave the game puck to Jason Myrtetus, the team's radio broadcaster.
Myrtetus is battling stage-four cancer. Diagnosed with colon cancer in 2024, he learned this summer that the disease had spread to his lungs and liver, and doctors gave him a prognosis of 6 to 24 months. On the morning of the game, at Tocchet's invitation, Myrtetus addressed the whole team before the game. At the postgame news conference, Tocchet said: "First off, this game puck goes to Jason. His talk today was tremendous." In the locker room, players also presented Myrtetus with a pair of "Rocky" boxing gloves as the team cheered for him.
Tocchet said Myrtetus's talk gave the team a different perspective on the game: "What he's going through, we can't imagine." The win spared the Flyers an opening losing streak and gave the evening a deeper meaning.
