This excerpt from If These Walls Could Talk: Philadelphia Flyers by Lou Nolan, the team’s public address announcer, and the Inquirer/Daily News’ Sam Carchidi is printed with the permission of Triumph Books. Nolan has been there from the franchise’s birth, and he tells stories from his 50 years with the Flyers — from Lou Angotti to Ivan Provorov, and every season in between.
