They made the playoffs with a 19-40-21 record.Here is the goaltender who guided the rockies to there only playoff apperance in the 1978 playoffs former philadelphia flyer and toronto maple leaf Doug Favell.he kept the rockies in those playoff games against the flyers.
Twelve of 18 NHL teams made the playoffs. The four division champions received bies for the best-of-three preliminary round. The next four teams from each conference qualified also qualified, but they had to play a best-of-three. The Second Round was best-of-five, and the Semi-Finals and Stanley Cup Finals were best-of-seven.
The Rockies certainly did compete with the Flyers. The first game went to overtime in Philadelphia, and the second game of the best-of-three was 3-1. That was a very strong Philadelphia team, and the Rockies were not very good.
