I grew up in Philly watching the broadstreet bullies play. They were the toughest team around but what gets lost is that they were very good and very skilled aside from being tough. Bernie Parent was an incredible goalie it is a shame that his career got cut short by an eye injury. He was only 33 at the time so he lost several good years. Because of cost and the fact tickets were not easy to get I only ever got to go see the Flyers play in person one time. It just so happened to be the game where they retired Bernie Parent Jersey after they announced he was being forced to retire due to his injury. He walked out onto the ice and everyone there stood up and started cheering BERNIE BERNIE in unison. If i live to be a hundred I will never forget that scene. I was 13 at the time. I looked over at my father standing next time me and I say a tear roll done his cheek. My father was a tough philadelphia street guy, I only saw him cry 3x in my life, and that was one of them. Thats how much that team and Bernie meant to the city.
I was fortunate to meet Bernie twice, back in the 90s. First time we were in a picture together and he signed my Bernie RC. Second time he signed the picture we took at the previous meeting.
Revolutionized the game. First expansion team to win. One of the all time highest winning percentages again as a non original 6 team. #31 is unofficially retired for Lindbergh.
The Broad Street Bullies brought hockey to the spotlight in the Lehigh Valley in the mid 70's. We all went out and got street hockey stuff including Bobby Clarke sticks.
@@Rockhound6165 We all put a bend in that blade. They launched that orange ball like a rocket and it gave us nice welts from blocking shots with no pads on. The blades had to be replaced after a while as they wore down from the asphalt on the streets or parking lots we played in.
The Flyers were the team that got me into hockey. It was a pleasure to watch Clarkie hustle, and Macleish skate. In the creation event expansion draft, the Flyers selected Doug Favell and Bernie Parent, and later opted to keep Favell and send Parent away. Later, they would trade Favell to get Parent back. Favell was good, but we all know how that trade worked out. We should also mention the great Freddie Shero, who coached the Flyers to their cup wins, is the all-time winningest Flyers' boss, and was regarded as a coaching innovator and is in the Hockey Hall of Fame as such.
The Flyers got a lot of us into hockey and what really endeared them to the area was that they were regular guys. When you see pro athletes drinking in a corner bar like Rexy's you know they're cool.
The Flyers of old were a force to be reckoned with -- The Broad Street Bullies. Dave Schultz, the "Hammer," changed the definition of an NHL enforcer. Their arena, The Spectrum, imposing and to a Flyers fan, just as historic as the Forum in Montreal.
Back around 2000 I was very fortunate to have eaten many family style dinners with MacLeish. He was good buddies with my friend's father and when his mom mom would cook, MacLeish was always there. The man ate spaghetti like he played. It was a flurry of what seemed to be uncontrolled stabs and twirls. The mashing of meatballs ended up looking like a murder scene but there was a method to his madness and by the end of dinner he had the cleanest plate. Amongst the chaos there was always a precise plan.
The Flyers died with Snyder. Comcast’s philosophy is the same in hockey ownership as it is in telecommunications: fuck the long term, go entirely for the short term (which ends up being a terrible decision anyway).
Speaking as probably one of the senior Flyers fans here(57 years old, been a die hard Flyers fan since the early 70s) I can tell you that there's been a significant amount of bad luck with this franchise. Tim Kerr's injuries, Pelle Lindberg's death, Bernie damn near losing his eye, the blown offside non call in game 6 of the '80 finals. In fact, Pelle's death has resulted in a goalie curse of sorts and they've yet to find someone that is even remotely as good. Even Hextall only really had 1 good season. I do believe they're the only team to have 2 Conn Smythe winners even though they lost. For me the biggest disappointment in the playoffs was in 2000. They had a 3-1 lead on the Devils and choked it away because if they go to the finals no way Dallas beats them. 2010 was heartbreaking but they shouldn't have been there in the first place having qualified on the last day of the season and it took a shootout at that. I liken that team to the 1993 Phillies who caught lightning in a bottle. '87 was heartbreaking also because they were so close having fallen behind 3-1 then winning games 5 and 6(one of the most exciting games I've ever seen). As for Schultz, he was the team enforcer. If someone took a run at Clarke he took a run at them or their star but he wasn't just a goon as he did score on occasion including the series winning goal in game 4 of the '74 quarter finals. Now, in recent years it's been piss poor management. Ed Snyder with all his faults at least tried to build a winner. Now the team is owned by Comcast and I'm convinced they're not interested in winning.
With Torts there, we should improve, but we won't be anything special!! Loved watching those 80's teams with Tim Kerr, Propp, Tocchet, Howe and Craven!! Fun team to watch once upon a time! Next to Bernie Parent, Pete Peters was my favorite goalie!
it absolutely should be, that man had so much potential, could've honestly been up there with Roy and Hasek as one of the greatest goalies of all time, and probably should've brought a cup to philly
Still can’t see anything about The Flyers without thinking about Pelle Lindbergh. As a 14 year old hockey playing swede at the time, I was really sad when he died.
Oh, let's not forget that they were the one and only true World Champions of hockey when they brutalized the vaunted Soviet Red Army team in 1976 when none of the other teams they played could beat them(Montreal managed a tie). And as draft picks go, I often wonder if the Lindros trade even happens if they took Jagr instead of Mike Ricci in 1990.
fun fact, the flyers longest drought without a conference finals appearance WAS 7 years (first 7 of their existence) and their longest cup finals drought used to be 11 seasons. Flyers got both beat from 2010-11 to now. It’s a good thing I started watching hockey in 2012! kinda unfair at how many hours I’ve wasted watching this team just for them to do nothing. those watching during the early/mid 80s, mid 70s, mid/late 90s, and early/late 00s had it best lol
@@vinceniederman Comcast is a multi-billion dollar establishment. They will not sell the team off unless they go through a horrendous merger similar to AOL/Time Warner where they had to sell nearly all of their assets (Thrashers, Braves, Hawks, WCW, etc) for liquidation-esque prices just to make a little bit of their money back.
Surprised you didn't mention Reggie Leach being the only non-goaltender to win the Con Smythe for a losing team. In the 1976 payoffs he had 19 goals in 16 games.
I have recently said, with each passing season, it becomes more and more true that the Flyers had something special back in the 70s and will never be able to recapture that. Update: Briere and Jones will bring the Cup back to Philadelphia.
I watched them win their 2 Stanley Cups. Bernie Parent is my favorite all time Flyer. And after this past 2 years, we're not gonna see another cup until 2032. I hope I'm still alive by then.

I'm surprised at the number of whiffs particularly at the top of the draft. While I'm not a Flyers fan they seemed to be better in the middle and the bottom of the draft than in the first or second round. I'm also surprised at the number and quality of goalies they picked but they never seemed to develop. A lot of the Flyer problems (albeit not all) came when Clarke was GM. That was why I was surprised he dumped on GM Hextall. He (Clarke) could have done a much better job himself especially with the scouting/development. You'd like to think a good GM should have a draft class every year with at least 500 games all together (even if they were not with his team). Clarke had a couple where the entire draft class didn't play 30 games at the NHL level anywhere.

Well that was depressing. Thank you for compiling it though. Hard to look at their draft "success" and see how they won so many games as an expansion team. And this could be the worst team ever this year.
Should mention that they were part of the greatest trade in NHL history... Of course, they were on the wrong side of it, but hey, they were still making history. :D
Hextall was a good goalie.. but sadly should never have gotten the chance to show it with Philly.. The Great Pelle Lindbergh had just become what looked like he would man the pipes for the next decade when he was killed in a car accident in 85... I disliked Philly... but even I mourned his death. The 70's team had some really good players.. but even their stars (Clarke, Leach, MacLeish..etc) had no problem mixing it up... the only one I didn't see beat the snot out of someone what Parent..
Shame that Giroux left. Wish he retired a Flyer. :( This team has been terribly managed since trading away Richards & Carter. Should of just kept them & give Bob a few more years to develop.
Point of order, this franchise is dead. Arbour/Bowman/Blake could not rescue it. Incompetence reeks at every single level of the franchise, especially their GM. Fletch has completed the job which Homer and Hexy started. And Hexy was ABYSMAL. Torts will be beyond frustrated by Xmas and likely resign well before the end of his contract. Leadership cannot draft, develop, sign or keep healthy their players. The worst part about the past ten years of failure and the dumpster fire of the past two season is the LV is horrendous, they have very little bright spots and their future is extremely bleak. Other than the product, or lack their of, on the ice, their relationship with the city has utterly been destroyed and they will likely play at 50% capacity this season. With their bleak future and inability to fix this mess, attendance will likely continue to dwindle and who knows where this franchise will go, but Houston or QC are more likely. And this is a diehard fan since 83.
