Flyers season in review

Reviewing the Flyers' 2015-16 season, one that included lots of grit, lots of good moments and, sadly, the death of the man most responsible for the franchise's birth, Ed Snider.

Best moments.

An emotional Lauren Hart, holding an iPhone, sang God Bless America to the sellout Wells Fargo Center crowd while FaceTiming an ailing Snider in California on April 9. The Flyers then beat the hated Penguins, 3-1, to clinch a playoff spot on the next-to-last day of the regular season. The Flyers had dedicated the season to Snider, 83, who died two days after they secured a playoff berth.
