The Flyers announced the players who made their “Quarter Century Team” Monday, and although there weren’t too many surprises, there were perhaps one or two that left some scratching their heads.
The team was divided into a first team and a second team, with six players named for each. The “First Team” forwards include Simon Gagne, Claude Giroux and Mike Richards. On the blueline is Eric Desjardins and Kimmo Timonen and in goal is Roman Cechmanek. The “Second Team” forwards include Danny Briere, Sean Couturier and Jakub Voracek with Chris Pronger and Ivan Provorov on the blueline.
