Joe Murphy is Homeless

This came up on Schopp and Bulldog today and I had not heard about it previously.
I found this article from last year which is quite good.  

My #2 team has always been the Edmonton Oilers and I remember Murphy fondly from the old Kid Line days.

Very interesting and sad situation.

Have others here been following this story?

I subscribed to The Athletic about a week ago.  It’s a bargain.   Accordingly, a link, below.  It’s a scary story about Kyle Okposo.  I had no idea.  Sabres fan, hockey fan, MUST READ.  Many of you may have, already.  It’s a year old.

I remember Murphy and enjoyed watching him.  I hope he accepts help.

These guys are playing with fire, every day.

Pretty sure there was a decent conversation about it when it came out last year.

Examples like these make me think we aren't any further along than we were in the gladiator days.

Maybe. I'm also on the fence about whether or not I should feel guilty about it, though.

I kinda think the fact that they played hockey is a red herring.

I’ve been worried about whether KO should ever play again since that injury.  I honestly think it’s his best interest to retire now with his health.  

I’d hate to read a story about him like the one about Joe Murphy.
