RIP Pelle Lindbergh
November 10, 1985
Two months before I attended my very first Flyers game at the age of 6, the death of the Flyers' 25 year old goaltender, the 1985 Vezina Trophy winnner, stunned the city of Philadelphia, not to mention the entire NHL and his homeland of Sweden.
20 years later, his memory lives on in the minds of Flyers fans, and hockey fans, everywhere. If you are not familiar with his story, I urge you to read this phenomenal account of his life and career, which were both cut tragically short.
