Flyers at 50: Plenty of changes, still no more Cups

Fifth in a series.

In some ways, the 21st century has been one of upheaval for the Flyers.

They changed coaches seven times in a 16-season period, traded away a goalie, Sergei Bobrovsky who became a Vezina Trophy winner as the league's best goaltender, and dealt the two faces of the franchise on the same dizzying day in 2011.

Oh, and they remained without a Stanley Cup since 1975.

They also traded future Hall of Famer Eric Lindros to the New York Rangers in 2001, ending a sometimes-tumultuous relationship with general manager Bob Clarke, and years later added a wannabe cosmonaut, goalie Ilya Bryzgalov.
