After decades of being a contender, getting into the playoffs being of no real signifcance and getting to the semis 15 times from expansion to the 2009-10 season, the Flyers have won, er, let me check here…ah yes…two Stanley Cups. Unfortunately for the fan base, heartbreak has often been the rule rather than the exeption with finals losses to the Habs, Islanders, Oilers (twice), Detroit and Chicago.
It also seemed like every former Flyers player was hoisting the Stanley Cup in a new city with a new team that managed to nail down the required 16 post-season wins.
