Hmmm...I hope this isn't the beginning of a long term issue for him. He's a great goaltender.

Same b/c they really don't like operating on your back unless absolutely necessary.

I hear back surgery, my first thought is John LeClair, and his career didn't end well.

I'm sure advancements have been made in 20 years but I still think back surgery is not a good sign for an athlete.

Paging Dr. Recchi

John LeClair was a great player until his back gave up the ghost. I liked him even though he was a Flyer

If I was a bolts fan I'd be extremely worried. Backs are funny things.
Wish him well.

Hopefully not. On the flipside he definitely didn't look like his usual self in the back half of last season so this perhaps offers an explanation for that and an opportunity to set things right. He had a microdiscectomy, which is not a major operation although all back surgery carries risks. Bit weird though that he didn't have it until now.

Tampa's backup Jonas Johansson is a fringe NHLer who's played 35 games for a .887 SV%. Behind him there's not much at all. Johansson surely cannot carry the team for 2 months. Tampa have cap problems, as always, but with Vasilevskiy on LTIR they're almost certainly going to have to find some cheap temporary replacement to support Jonas. Old buddy Jaro Halak is still unsigned and as far as I know hasn't officially retired. If he's keen, he might find himself a job in Florida.

 

[Grimey]

Hope he has a smooth recovery. Great goalie

He was my first ever favorite NHL player.

First American to score 50 goals three years in a row.

Now I need to go watch some Legion of Doom highlights

 

[Bruinaura]

@BMC You might like this game. I forgot how much LeClair loooooved beating Montreal lol

Appearances also by Brind'Amour and Recchi who was on the Habs at the time

Maybe carrying around that XXXXXXXXXL equipment had something to do with it


Kidding of course

It really concerns me how many individual players on the Flyers I have liked over the years -- Forsberg, Simmonds, LeClair, Lindros, Recchi, Hextall, Voracek, and Pronger, To hell with the rest of the lot, but for whatever reasonI enjoyed watching those aforementioned players and wanted to see them do well.

Hard to believe the Jets would want that cancer in scheifele back, for another 7 years

 

[Ludwig Fell Down]

Jets sign Scheifele and Helle to identical 7 year deals at an AAV of $8.5m,

I assume the owners are counting on easier buyout rules in the next CBA. that's gonna be alot of scratch when they are over age 35.

Scheifele, Hellebuyck each signs 7-year, $59.5 million contract with Jets | NHL.com

Forward, goalie could have been unrestricted free agents after this season
