Poulin20 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Today in Flyers history 1984 the Flyers beat the Edmonton Oilers 7-5 to break the Oilers 15 game unbeaten streak to start the season. The Flyers were the youngest team in the league and were led by rookie coach Mike Keenan. They made it all the way to the finals after taking out the Rangers, Islanders, and Nordiques along the way before losing the Cup in 5 games to those same Oilers. An extended clip of highlights from the game can be found here. This extremely exciting game and date are also very personally significant to me as that Sunday night in 1984 was my first ever Flyers game. I had never seen hockey in my life and didn’t know what to expect. Going to that game changed my life forever as I may have never taken an interest in hockey if I hadn’t attended (or if it had been a boring game between 2 bad teams). Sadly 34 years ago on this date we lost Pelle Lindbergh who features prominently in the above video (and ended up winning the Vezina Trophy). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall at my first Flyers game that I referenced in post #102 above that the guy who invited us was talking about how they were going to have the ceremony in a few days so that fits!

I don't remember how close it was to hitting the post. Still a bullet from Ron. Love how happy the guys are for him. I would have given my left nut and my spleen for a goalie like that and I'm sure that's how they felt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhh do I remember it (in 1987...I know it was just a transposition typo). I remember it for all the wrong reasons though. Following the 1986-1987 SCF loss we jumped on the bandwagon and got season tickets. We were going to a lot of games but then my dad had a business trip for this game and I had a French test the next day. My mom who worked at my school SOLD the tickets to another teacher. I was bummed enough about not being able to go to the game but then when I was listening on the radio (cable wasn't available at my house yet) and I heard this happen I flew into a rage at my mom for selling the tickets. The people who bought the tickets were thrilled and couldn't stop talking about it. When my mom told them to tone it down because it was a sore spot with me, they made me and my brother a makeshift plaque with Hexy's photo, a ticket stub from the game, and a copy of the newspaper article on the back of it for Christmas. So yeah I remember well it but not as fondly as others. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
