#25 Keith Primeau – Flyers/C (2000-06) Keith Primeau was a power center who spent 6 seasons with the Flyers. Primeau scored 12 goals in 58 playoff games with the Flyers but none bigger than the goal he scored on May 5th, 2000. Preems scored 12:01 into the 5th overtime period (152:01) beating Penguins goaltender Ron Tugnutt with a wicked wrister to end the 3rd longest NHL playoff game and the longest since the 1930s. Primeau was the 12th Flyer to wear the “C” and was a 2004 NHL All Star. Primeau won the Yanick Dupre Award in 2001, and the Toyota Cup in 2003. Primeau’s stellar career was ended prematurely in 2006 due to post-concussion syndrome.
