Brian Boyle is feeling the love.
The New Jersey Devils forward, who has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, took to Twitter on Wednesday to offer a message of thanks and supplication.

Here's the message, posted in four separate images featuring the jerseys of teams Boyle has played for at the NHL level - New York Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Toronto Maple Leafs and Devils:
My family and I are completely blown away by the incredible support we have received. I have heard from thousands of people - family, friends and members of the hockey community I've never met. Everyone has been touched by someone in my situation, and I've learned one thing here, people are truly great.
I know that prayer can move mountains, so any kind of support and prayers they want to send will always be accepted and much appreciated.
Boyle's condition is a form of bone marrow cancer that is treatable with medication, and there's no word on when he may be able to resume his career.
