Any video that claims Flyers knowledge and says that Nolan Patrick was a potential franchise altering player in the same remote stratosphere as Eric Lindros is absolutely moronic.
I couldn’t get past there.
Not to pull the old head shit, but I think the youth genuinely has no idea how good Big E was. To put him and Nolan Patrick in even the same fucking paragraph is an insult to one of the most dominant forces in the history of hockey. It’s also an insult to Flyers fans who have spent their life watching hockey and not making clickbait.
I had just bought the black 88 sweater too.
How dare you completely forget Pelle Lindbergh!
If you look at any team with a long history you’d find bad breaks. But it also completely misses the good breaks the Flyers got.
Like Lindros’ injury issues are certainly bad luck – but he was a player the team didn’t draft and the Nordiques tried to back out of the trade and the whole deal had to go to arbitration. And it’s not like Lindros didn’t perform, he won an MVP and took the team to a Cup Final.
The Flyers got one of their best Dmen in franchise history because he needed to be traded immediately cause he slept with Patrick Roy’s wife and Roy was going to kill him. And they got a guy who was a Five time 1st or 2nd team All Star as a throw in to the deal.
They had the tragic death of Pelle Lindbergh, but the next year they had a 6th round pick rookie goalie win the Vezina and Conn Smythe trophy.
One of the biggest ones – this was a story from the old MvsW podcast when they were talking about huge trades that almost happened – in lead up to the 2006 draft the Flyers offered their 2006 (ended up being Giroux) and 2007 (ended up being JVR) to the Leafs for Tomas Kaberle and the Leafs turned it down.
The Flyers have had more than a fair share of bad luck, but they’ve been the beneficiary of a lot of good luck throughout the last 50 years too.
Now the curse of Kate Smith plague the Flyers
I hate these stupid takes. Now do another video that shows all the good things.
Couldn’t have had Lindros heartbreak if he ended up with the Rangers…the arbitrator could have ruled against us.
I’ve been alive for 48 hockey seasons. The Flyers won their last Cup 6 months before I was born. Championships are a punctuation mark for fandoms. You don’t measure fandoms in Championships. Fans have absolutely no control over that. If you don’t just take the games as they come, you’re going to have a bad time.
If the Flyers don’t win a Cup while I’m alive, well at least I got to see them give it a shot a few times. I won’t even be mad. Because I’ll be dead.
Are they even the most cursed franchise in the city?
Uh no. But playing the victim must be fun!!!
How can you forget to mention Bobby Clarke thinking goaltending was not important decades before Dubas thought it to be cool?
While playing in the same division at the same time as Brodeur?
flyers aren’t even the most cursed franchise in the nhl lol
You want to point to signs of a cursed franchise? Let me help you out with that:
TWO Stanley Cup finals against a dynastic Oilers team.
Stanley Cup final against a dynastic Canadiens team.
Stanley Cup final against a dynastic Islanders team.
Stanley Cup final against a dynastic Red Wings team.
Stanley Cup final against a dynastic Blackhawks team.
THERE’S your curse. Every time the Flyers have made the SCF since the early 70’s, there is a DYNASTY team awaiting them.
I watched nearly every flyers games In that era, and got to see maybe 4 or 5 games in person. When Lindros was on the ice, everyone KNEW he on the ice. Such presence.
I remember the Stevens hit. Where I was, what we ate, who I was with. Devastating.
The only way that Nolan Patrick was a “franchise defining” anything was that he helped define the franchise’s ineptitude at drafting.
