It doesn't take much to get me thinking about Pelle Lindbergh's death. I thought about it last Thursday, when the Flyers beat the Edmonton Oilers at the Wells Fargo Center. Kerstin Pietzsch-Somnell, who had been engaged to Lindbergh, attended the game, and the arena's JumboTron showed a brief interview with her, and it was striking that she would travel from Sweden for one night here, just to speak for a few seconds about him. I thought about it again Tuesday, when the Flyers beat the Colorado Avalanche, 4-3, in Denver. It was their 10th consecutive victory, a feat they hadn't accomplished in more than 31 years.
