Michal Neuvirth will have the eye of the tiger in net this season.
The recently signed backup goaltender will honor Philadelphia sports history - albeit a fictional strain - on his first mask with the Flyers, which depicts scenes from the "Rocky" movies.
Neuvirth, who posted a .914 save percentage in 32 starts split between the Buffalo Sabres and New York Islanders last season, signed a two-year, $3.25-million contract with the Flyers earlier this summer.
