(Martin Hohenberger) Waxaa laga yaabaa in aad i weydiiso. Waxaa loo keenay si uu u xoojiyo difaaca Flyers taasna wuu sameeyay markii uu ku guuleystay kii ugu horeeyay ee todobada Barry Ashbee Trophies, abaalmarin sanadle ah oo la siiyo Flyers top blueliner. Wuxuu ciyaaray inta ka hartay xirfadiisa Flyers, isagoo gaadhay laba xulasho oo NHL All-Star ah (1999, 2000) iyo laba kulan oo kale oo All-Star ah (1996, 2000). Dhibcaha 396 ee uu Flyers ka helay ayaa kaalinta labaad ka galay daafacyada kaliya marka loo eego Mark Howe oo 480 ku leh taariikhda kooxda. Intii lagu jiray xilli ciyaareedka 1999-2000, Desjardins wuxuu noqday kabtanka Flyers markii Eric Lindros laga saaray kabtanimada cabashooyinkiisa ku saabsan shaqaalaha caafimaadka Flyers.
