It's the type of moment that you dread as a parent, especially as an Original Misfit. You have a child and you hear that your newborn has underdeveloped lungs that are punctured. Suddenly, the child's life is in danger and you're worried that they won't survive. However, a group of heroes and heroines come to the rescue and provide lifesaving aid for the newborn.
That's the story of Alex Tuch, who thanked the Sisters Hospital of Buffalo for their immaculate work on saving their newborn son, Teller. Although the punctured lungs healed, they collapsed afterwards. Doctors and nurses came in administer lifesaving support before his oxygen levels collapsed too far.
Now? Teller is 18 months and is bigger than his older brother, Tripp. In fact, the Original Misfit nicknamed Teller "bruiser" based on how big he got. Here's what Tuch aid in a heartfelt thank you to Sisters Buffalo.
"We are forever indebted to the incredible team at Sisters in Buffalo. The nurses, doctors, and all the staff there are some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met in my life. I feel like, as a country, we don’t do enough for our frontline workers all the time. Especially nurses."Alex Tuch in Player's Tribune
As mentioned, it's the type of story that newborn parents and experienced parents alike fear. The possibility that they'll lose their child before they experience the wonders of life is dreadful. But the Sisters Hospital in Buffalo made it happen and the Original Misfit and his family are forever in their debt.
This season, Tuch has 11 goals and two assists with the Washington Capitals. But he made his mark with the Golden Knights during his four-year residency, scoring 61 goals and 78 assists. That in cluded a stellar 2018-19 campaign, when he scored 20 goals and 32 assists.
Alex Tuch and his family get the biggest win of all: Their newborn son's life saved
The Vegas Golden Knights community has had a great appreciation for Tuch's contributions during his four-year residency. He provided top-notch scoring on the wing and developed into a bona fide offensive weapon as he got older.
He's also remembered as the big piece in the Jack Eichel trade, going to the Buffalo Sabres in a blockbuster trade. Imagine what would've happened if his life hadn't changed during that time. Things would've looked grim for his family.
Instead, fans get a heartwarming ending: The family is intact and Tuch is happier than ever. He's on a winning team, the Washington Capitals, and he's enjoying life. On top of that, he's producing at a high clip and leads the Capitals in goals scored this season. How awesome is that?
Cheers to the Sisters Hospital in Buffalo for helping the Original Misfit out in his time of need. It takes strength, courage, and an innate ability to respond to pressure to pull such a miracle off. You can say that this is what superheroes do (make it a Marvel movie, please!).
