The Swede of Philadelphia
Pelle Lindbergh was one of the rising stars of the NHL after winning theVezina trophy (best goalie in the NHL) and leading the Philadelphia Flyersto the finals, both in 1985. At 26, he seemingly had his whole life aheadof him. On November 10th, 1985 Pelle crashed his Porshe in Somerdale, NJand died the following day.
Two others survived the accident. "The Swedeof Philadelphia" is an in-depth and intense look at the "goalie, the man,the decision." Acclaimed director Charlie Minn (Lionsgate, ID channel andAmazon Prime video) interviews many of Pelle's teammates, team staff andjournalists to shape every aspect of a hockey player that paved the wayfor future European and Swedish goalies to follow their dreams into the NHL.
