The Philadelphia Flyers entered the National Hockey League in the 1967 expansion, the League’s first expansion since the 1920s. An entire division of six new teams were added to compete with the Original Six; the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Black Hawks, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers. The six new teams were the Los Angeles Kings, Oakland Seals, Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers, Minnesota North Stars and the St. Louis Blues. The Flyers won their first of two Stanley Cup Championships in their seventh NHL season. They won again the following season, 1974-75. They have won seven Conference Championships and fifteen division titles. In the club’s 40 seasons they have made the playoffs 32 times – an 80% success rate. The team’s most recent playoff miss was 2006-07 when they dropped 45 points from the previous season’s 101 to 56 – the worst in team history and the end of GM Bobby Clarke’s tenure with the team. Clarke had been with the Flyers, first as a player and then in the front office, since the inception of the franchise. The Flyers started 2007-08 with the slogan “Back With A Vengeance,” and were they ever. They improved by 39 points over the previous season, good enough for 4th place in a competitive division and a Quarterfinal match-up with the Washington Capitals. The Capitals took Game 1 but the Philadelphia Flyers roared back with three straight wins. Facing elimination, the Capitals dug down deep and won the next two to force a Game 7 showdown. The Flyers won in overtime on a power play. Their dubious prize: a Semifinal match-up with heavily favored Montreal. Les Canadiens could not catch a break and the Flyers won the series in five despite being outplayed. The team then advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, a game away from the Stanley Cup Finals, for the first time since 2003-04. They could only manage a single win, with Timonen missing the first four games with a blood clot in his ankle and Coburn going down for the series in Game 2 with a gory facial injury. In the 2008 NHL Draft, the Flyers selected defenseman Luca Sbisa with their first pick, 19th overall. In the free agent market they picked up defensemen Ossi Vaananen of the Swedish Elite League, forward Glen Metropolit from Boston and Arron Asham from the New Jersey Devils. The Philadelphia Flyers are in the Atlantic Division of the 3-division Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League. Awesomeseating.com offers cheap tickets and luxury tickets for all NBA teams.
