We all take health for granted, whether we are athletes or not. How many of us have had a major health issue pop up for ourselves or for someone we really care about? How many of those health issues have totally changed the way lives were projected to go? As Philadelphia sports fans, we know this all too well. How different would things have been had Ryan Howard not torn his ACL, Allen Iverson not gotten hurt so much, or Carson Wentz not been so injury prone?
For Philadelphia Flyers fans, we can understand this too. What if the 1986-87 Flyers didn’t have so many injuries during their critical Stanley Cup run?
