Simmonds played entire season with torn pelvis
Those Philadelphia Flyers are a tough bunch.
Shortly after defenseman Ivan Provorov revealed he lost feeling in his arm and continued playing in Game 6 of the club's playoff series versus the Pittsburgh Penguins, forward Wayne Simmonds said he'd been playing with a torn pelvis since training camp.
The injuries didn't stop there, though.
