Great original painting depicting Pelle Lindbergh accepting the Vezina Trophy for the best goaltender of the 1984-85 season, becoming the first European to win the coveted award. Tragicly he was killed just months later in an automobile accident. In tribute to his enduring popularity, hockey fans posthumously voted him to the 1986 NHL All-Star Game. This is one of a series of paintings Flyers owner Ed Snider commissioned from acclaimed artist Jeffrey Rubin illustrating the greatest champions of Philadelphia hockey and basketball. This impressive work of art hung in Philly’s original Spectrum until it was demolished after its last event in 2009. Rubin’s artwork is painted over a photograph on canvas stretched and mounted on wooden panels and measures 38.5 inches wide x 63 inches high. The artist has hand signed the artwork as well. Letter of authenticity from the Philadelphia Flyers. This is part of the Comcast Charities collection.
