Great but not so well-known plays from past years

[Nizzle]

With so much drama in the OAB, I thought it would be nice to reminisce about great but not necessarily so well-known plays by the FLYERS in the past years. I'll start with few:


Timonen was always one of my favourite players and one of the reasons I started to follow this team. This clip is just one of the examples on how surprisingly strong he was.


This was against Crosby against his prime. In the same season, Jason Spezza was in a similar situation against Crosby and got absolutely embarrassed.


I just had to include this one. Jody Shelley with the silky mitts. I remember laughing so hard when I saw this.

Here's the clip with Crosby against Spezza

Waning moments of Game 7 in 2010. I remember this shift vividly, but it's not the sort of thing that will often show up in "greatest" lists.

 

[Beef Invictus]

On the Timonen train, I miss his PK clears where he'd lob it into orbit to kill time.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Not exactly a play, but legendary chirping that got AV, both benches, and the crowd

 

[FLYguy3911]

That shift by Tyrell Goulbourne where he didn’t touch the puck but singlehandedly won a game against St Louis.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Alexander Daigle's OT goal, his first goal as a Flyer, began with his defensive play.

That was the game in which Wayne Cashman was removed as head coach but was still on the bench.

ahh yes, the legend that got away

Alexander Daigle's OT goal, his first goal as a Flyer, began with his defensive play.

That was the game in which Wayne Cashman was removed as head coach but was still on the bench.

I know I can't be the only one that remembers them playing a video of Daigle's gear getting tossed into the back of a box truck when the team didn't want him anymore.

I know I can't be the only one that remembers them playing a video of Daigle's gear getting tossed into the back of a box truck when the team didn't want him anymore.

As I recall, there was a trade to Edmonton after Daigle requested to be moved, He then balked because the Oilers wanted him to sign an extension. Days later, or whenever, there was a three-way trade in which he ended in Tampa Bay. Clarke's exact words, at one point, when asked if he would trade Daigle "Who would want him?"

I remember watching this game. The Flyers were underachieving the whole season and around this time started to play like they should. Would be nice to know what would have happened in the past ten years if Pronger was able to play.

Great minds…

Also, bring back Bro Hymn

I probably will not describe it right, but Giroux lost his stick, hovered legs spread should width apart, defended the puck and then half spun to skate kick pass the puck. I’m fairly certain he wasn’t captain yet at the time.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Can't link it right now but Giroux's falling no-look backhand goal against Columbus in 2013.

 

[Hurricane28]

Bring back Doop

 

[PDX Flyer]

When Kent Manderville finally scored a goal

[Rebels57]

One of the most amazing goals and I remember watching it live on TV at my friends house. We lost our shit.

 

[Rebels57]

Always loved this one too
