List Of Philadelphia Flyers Seasons

The Philadelphia Flyers are an American ice hockey team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. Since their inaugural season in 1967, the team has played its home games on Broad Street in South Philadelphia, first at the Spectrum from 1967 to 1996 and currently at the Wells Fargo Center since 1996. In 43 completed seasons, the team has won the Stanley Cup as NHL champions twice and has qualified for the playoffs thirty-five times. They have played more than 400 playoff games, winning 209. As of the end of the 2010–11 season, Philadelphia has won more than 1,700 regular season games, the 7th-highest victory total among NHL teams and the most among non-Original Six teams. The Flyers also possess an all-time .579 points percentage, the second highest among NHL teams.

The Flyers were founded in 1967 and won consecutive Stanley Cup championships in 1974 and 1975, the first expansion team to do so. The team has since lost in six return trips to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1976, 1980, 1985, 1987, 1997 and 2010. The Flyers have never won the Presidents' Trophy, although they led the NHL in regular-season points in 1974–75, 1979–80 and 1984–85, before the league began awarding the trophy. The Flyers last qualified for the playoffs in 2011–12; their most recent playoff series victory was the 2012 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

    My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

    Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    All the oxygen of the world was in them.
    All the feet of the babies of the world were in them.
    All the crotches of the angels of the world were in them.
    All the morning kisses of Philadelphia were in them.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    And so the seasons went rolling on into summer, as one rambles into higher and higher grass.
