Pelle Lindbergh part 1

[@MFClightseeker]

I grew up near Philly and was a die-hard Flyers fan. I moved away from the area in ‘85, but remained a huge Flyers fan. I don’t know what motivated me to look up the tributes to Pelle tonight, but even 34 years on it still breaks my heart. Thank you Pelle, for your incredible contribution to my childhood.

Being an American, my second favorite National team is Sweden because of #31. Thank you Mr. Lindbergh for being not just my favorite Flyer next to Mark Recchi, but because you were such a genuine person who loved his teammates He always had humility, never taking full credit for their success. The little Swede who played like a giant. I will remember his boyish charm and beautiful smile. Gone, but never forgotten. He is the greatest Swedish born goaltender next to Henrik Lundquist. The Flyers need to officially retire his number even though no one dare wear it again.

They should officially retire his number.

Pelle didn't win us a Cup but Flyers fans will love him forever.

@cjwoot I can't believe it's 25 years! The only time I was ever ashamed to be a Rangers fan (other than when they brought Glen Sather in) was the first time Philli came to MSG. Hextall was in goal and the crowd chanted "Drive a Porsche Hextall. Drive a Porsche!" Even at age 17, I knew that was classless. I do remember John davidson being completely disgusted with the chant and was genuinely embarassed.

[@TR-vr5pz]

thats funny actually--Hextall was classless and youre upset--gimme a break

[@FlyerHockeyPride]

How many Cups has Suckalo ever won, bitch? 😠😠😠😠

[@jameshames4743]

38 years now, time flies 😢

[@Dannymac82]

If he did not die in the November 10, 1985 Car Accident from what i heard, The Flyers would have been Stanley Cup Champions of 1986 and maybe even 1987

[@w.wallacedonovan6608]

I remember it like it was yesterday. Very very sad!!

[@Wttpfbs10]

its been 28 years since he died… so sad.. flyers world misses you pelle!

[@nick4572]

@tylerdurdonxx Agreed. Though they have not officially retired his number (yet), they have not issued it since, out of respect for Pelle.

[@hwknvrdie]

Flyers retire #31 please!

[@dzanier]

I'm a Rangers fan and I feel the same way. Truly disgusting gesture by some MSG fans.

[@mattgalbraith1714]

Tolly said Pelle was a "gooood guy".

[@Dannymac82]

@tylerdurdonxx I totally agree with you on that one.

[@fungusgirl.]

that guy at 4:34 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[@stevedrums1675]

His number I think has been unofficially retired. Has anyone else ever worn 31 after him? I can't think of any.

[@phillyeric7584]

No

[@tylerdurdonxx]

@stevedrums damn i didnt know the rangers fans did that! Thats dispicable.

[@stevedrums1675]

@tylerdurdonxx Not one of their better moments!
