NHL: The 12 Greatest Philadelphia Flyers Of All-Time | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Pelle Lindbergh was called on to become the next Flyers' great between the pipes.  He was, in many ways, expected to be a continuation of his idol Bernie Parent.  This was cut short, however, when Lindbergh was killed in a drunk driving accident at the young age of 26.

The young Flyer phenom saw his entire life flash right before him and, boom, that was it.  For a man who had everything at such a young age, it all ended far too prematurely.  From the beautiful wife to the fast, expensive, custom-made sports car, and everything in between, Lindbergh had it all, literally.  Sometimes when your at the top of your game (both in life and sports) you need to settle down and put things in perspective.  Lindbergh, unfortunately, learned this the hard way in 1985 on the on that cold November morning.
