1998–99 Philadelphia Flyers season
Encyclopedia
The 1998–99 Philadelphia Flyers
season
was the Philadelphia Flyers
' 32nd season in the National Hockey League
(NHL).
In the off-season, the Flyers went looking for a new goaltender. Sean Burke
hadn't worked out well enough and Ron Hextall
was about to enter his final season as a backup. They chose to sign former Panther
John Vanbiesbrouck
over former Oiler
Curtis Joseph
, who ended up signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs
. The 1998–99 season was marred by a life-threatening injury sustained by Eric Lindros
on April 1 during a game against the Nashville Predators
, a season-ending injury later diagnosed as a collapsed lung. Up until that point, Lindros was having an MVP-type season with 40 goals and 53 assists in 71 games. It is said that if roommate Keith Jones had not intervened at the last minute, Lindros might have died on the plane ride back to Philadelphia. Without Lindros, the Flyers were fortunate to have re-acquired Mark Recchi
at the trade deadline. Although Vanbiesbrouck allowed nine goals to Curtis Joseph's eleven allowed, the Flyers lost their first round series with Toronto in six games.
