Jeremy Roenick may have only been with the Flyers for three seasons, but he left a lasting impression on both the city and its fans.

After signing as a free agent with the Orange and Black in the summer of 2001, Roenick promptly paced the Flyers in scoring in each of his first two seasons, guiding Philadelphia to a top-two finish in the Atlantic Division in both campaigns.

Then, in his third and final season in the City of Brotherly Love, Roenick was hit in the face by an errant slap shot in February, breaking his jaw in 19 places. The Boston native lay unconscious on the ice in a pool of blood for several minutes, and there was considerable speculation as to whether Roenick would ever be able to play again.

Well not only did JR return, but he did so ahead of schedule and ended up scoring one of the most memorable goals in Flyers history, propelling the squad past the Toronto Maple Leafs in overtime of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Always quite demonstrative, Roenick once threw a water bottle at an official when no penalty was assessed after he was hit in the face by an opponent's stick causing him to lose a tooth and a mouthful of blood.

Roenick went on to play for the Los Angeles Kings, Phoenix Coyotes and San Jose Sharks before retiring in 2009, and it was during his first campaign in San Jose when he returned to Philly on February 21, 2008 to a raucous reception.
