[Normand Lacombe]

Does anyone miss Gene Hart and Bobby Taylor calling the games like I do?

Was trying to find something on when John LeClair wore a wig for the pre game skate and found this article from the game.

LeClair return fails to rejuvenate Flyers

"but Kent Manderville, who hasn't scored a goal in 91 regular season games, missed three great chances Sunday.
"I'm going to congratulate Kent Manderville on playing a great game," said Craig Ramsay. "He keeps shooting, it's eventually gonna go in."

I've been trying to find and purchase the whole Flyers-Red Wings game on March 21, 1999. Philly won the game 5-4. Big E scored the game winner against Osgood.

Does anyone have that entire game?

I'm assuming you checked Youtube and the other obvious options.

For something like that, you'll need the right IRC channel or Facebook Group. You need one of those old VHS dealers or someone who got it from one of them.

Cujo wanted to sign with the Flyers. Years ago, I read Cujo's friends visited his home in Canada shortly before he was set to become an UFA in 1998. When Joseph answered his door, he was wearing a Flyer jersey. He believed the Flyers would bid for his services and we were his top choice. Of course, Clarke thought otherwise and signed Beezer.

The Flyers had other holes to fill besides the goaltending hole. Had they filled those other holes well, they may have very well won a Stanley Cup with John Vanbiesbrouck.

The Broad Street bullies to the Philadelphia Flowers...

The first season I actually paid a lot of attention and didn’t miss a game was when Lavi was fired and Berube was an interim.

You can say I’m used to this

Philadelphia Flower Show is a good time. Early March. Mark your calanders.

I remember a play from Lindros' rookie year against the Devils where Niedermayer was carrying the puck up ice, Lindros just slaps it off his stick and goes the other way and scores. It was amazing, and I think that moment was when the Devils decided Stevens would always be on the ice for him.

I remember when we had a general manager

Is this the goal? I remember it quite well as it was his first goal at the Spectrum.

Gary "elbows" Dornhoefer…...funny stuff.

I remember practically every goal scored on the Flyers goalie was always supposedly the result of a screen....

Does anyone miss Gene Hart and Bobby Taylor calling the games like I do?

Yes, all the time. Hart and Taylor were the best. I miss their rhythm, their voices, their approach. Also miss the Pepsi Shootout and all the cool features they would do pre and post game.

This thread should just be pictures of John LeClair, Simon Gagne, Eric Desjardins, Danny Briere, and Brian Boucher. I would say Hextall but that is a sore subject right now.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Not counting the 1987 playoffs, this game was the longest extended consecutive period of time that I have ever gone through with completely shredded nerves - I was a ****ing mess.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Holy ****

What was the first Flyers game that everyone attended in person? Mine was October 21, 1984 against the Penguins at the Spectrum. Flyers won 4-2 with Pelle in net.

New York Islanders at Philadelphia Flyers Box Score — April 7, 2007 | Hockey-Reference.com
This was the first and only game I've ever been to. The tickets were my 10th birthday present. The Flyers lost 4-2, but I only remember them scoring the one goal

I still have the roster card.

Look at that motley crew.
