The Philadelphia Flyers are in the Eastern Conference Semifinals for the first time since 2012. Not only was that 2011-12 season the last time the Flyers won a playoff series, but it was also the last time the Flyers really had a team built to possibly make a run.
Claude Giroux had his coming out party during the 2010 playoffs with 21 points (10 goals) in 23 games, but he had another great showing in 2012 with 17 points (eight goals) in 10 games. He looked like a budding superstar and the next face of the franchise.
