  1. 10 is Super Easy - Bill Clemment, Brad McCrimmon , John Leclair for the headliners Honorable mention to Brayden Schenn (Stanley Cup Champion ) Then from the "remember me?" Category: Dan Quinn, Kris Versteeg, and Mike Bullard.
  2. Flyers first playoff series win since 2012, WE WELCOME YOU!! To the Royal Montreal golf Club, Canadiens, WE WELCOME YOU!!
  3. I remember it like it was yesterday. Especially the series clinching game. I was a 5th grader and we had to attend a 50th anniversary celebration for the grandparents of my neighbor across the street. It was being held at a hotel in Philly. Not wanting to miss the game my dad brought our brand new SONY Walkman radio. He also brought a single earpiece so he could listen relatively unnoticed. He looked like a secret service agent with his suit and single earpiece. I’m guessing some thought he was hotel security since we were fairly unknown among the guests. He kept coming over to me telling me how the scored yet again and we both celebrated quietly together knowing we were moving on to the next round. Sadly my dad has been gone for 20 years now but this is one of my favorite memories of the 23 years I got to spend with him.
  4. correct he did the first time around however when he came back in 2013 he donned the #9. ohh we forgot Grossmannnnnn. No wait he was 8 I think
  5. They did and I might get reported for this but, Patrick Sharp. (Also don’t forget Knuble and Zubrus).
  6. I liked him too. (Smoked like a chimney). Dont forget about Pelle Eklund
  7. Besides the game, did anyone else think that AV liked like a gigantic eggplant with the purple jacket tonight?
  8. Aw come on no love for Brad Marsh? He is was like a second goalie back there, played with no helmet and is still heads up the Alumni wing of the team today! Love Marshie!!
  9. The sad thing about Pelle is that he was not a big drinker at all. He did love fast cars but he almost never drank. Unfortunately the team was in a party mood as they had just completed a brutal stretch of games and they won 10 in a row. Keenan had given them the night off. Pelle who didn't normally drink decided to join in the festivities (some reports noted that because he didnt usually drink that he didnt know how to handle the alcohol). First they went to Bennigans and had a bunch of drinks there, then they went to the Flyers practice facility which at the time had after hours clubs there. They partied till 4:30 AM or so and then Pelle wanted to go get breakfast. He was indeed legally intoxicated, was driving way too fast, and failed to negotiate a curve and crashed into the side of a school. The part that got him was the stairwell that he drove into. If it was just a wall he would have sidewiped and lived to tell about it. But what killed him was the car getting wedged in the stairwell. It is a extremely sad story and just like an air crash there were many factors that all a happened in a chain of events that led to it. The fast cars were his personality. The drinking was not. In the thumbnail of this video you can see the 5 step staircase that he hit and which led to his death.
  10. 6 - Jeff Chychrun, Moose Dupont, Dan Kordic Travis Sanhein, Bundy Therien and don't forget the legendary Andres Lilja, and Randy Jones
  11. Thank you for expounding on my initial thoughts. This is exactly what was going through my mind when I made this post but did express it overtly. It is literally like you read my mind though.
  12. 3 - Doug Crossman, Dan McGillis, Radko Gudas, Garry Galley, Gord Murphy
  13. Well it wasn’t pretty but we’ll take it. The Devils weren’t complaining when they won tight low scoring games on the way to 3 cups. It’s fun to be on the other end of things, finally, especially seeing the other team give up a backbreaking cheap goal for once!
  14. Wow! Welcome back Ted! I’m pretty sure you were featured in our “gone but not forgotten” discussion a few years ago.
  15. There should be no * that diminishes the accomplishment because like everyone said it will be played under the same conditions as everyone else and will have won 4 best of 7 series. When the Devils won in 1995 after the lockout shortened season did anyone crap on their accomplishments due to the lockout shortened season, was there an * because less games were played? Heck no! In this case we played more games during the regular season and the playoff format is the only thing that is altered. It is not altered in any way though that makes it any easier. Even the #1 seed was not gifted to the Flyers they had to fight tooth and nail for it and earned their way to it. If they do win this year, the only * we will recall is how disrupted life as we know it has been.
  16. Our time inside the 2019-2020 NHL playoff bubble by the Pittsburgh Penguins with a forward by the NY Rangers.
  17. To the Stanley Cup Playoffs and the Eastern Prince of Wales Conference #1 seed! Philadelphia Flyers and their fans, WE WELCOME YOU! To the golf courses, NY Rangers & Pittsburgh Penguins, WE WELCOME YOU! To the old age retirement home, Queen Henry of NY, WE WELCOME YOU!!
  18. I’m as a big a Flyers fan as they come but I’m generally pretty pessimistic about the team based on their track record for breaking my heart with either running into a buzzsaw (Oilers, Pens, Hawks, or Wings) or making breathtakingly bad screw ups and allowing soft goals at the worst possible times. There is something VERY different about this team and I have confidence in them that I literally never had in them before in the 36 years I have followed the Flyers. If we don’t win it this year we are going to bring home the 3 foot high 50 lb piece or hardware soon boys, it’s coming. This homegrown goalie, Defense and coach are the real deal and we look as hard to play against as I have ever seen in my life. I’m pinching myself right now just to make sure this is real. Good luck to us in the playoffs and... LETS GO FLYERS!
  19. Brian Propp is on record saying he hated Chellios ever since too! I don’t remember this moment as fondly as the first fight in 1987 as we were about to be eliminated.
  20. literally one my favorite moments in team history! I was 11 years old and sooo proud of them doing that! Still am today!!
  21. 10 years ago today the Flyers overcame a 3-0 goal and games deficit to defeat the Boston Bruins in the SC quarterfinal.
  22. They twisted themselves into a pretzel not to criticize him! I loved the story of Lavvy telling him in the Bruins game 7 time out to Stop the %*%#ing puck!
  23. BTW speaking of kids, during the discussion we got to meet the newly minted Gavin Giroux. Also my firstborn was 4 months old during the Flyers Bruins game 7 and my wife and I decided we would go down to the city and enjoy game 7 with the people. We couldn't get a baby sitter so we took my son in the car seat carrier into Chickies and Pete South Philly for the game. He slept most of the time and was unfazed by the bedlam that ensued when the clock went to 0:00!
