The Early Years
The Flyers were founded in 1967 as an expansion team. They played their first game on October 11, 1967, against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Flyers lost that game, but they quickly became a competitive team. In their first season, they finished with a record of 31-32-11 and made the playoffs.
The Flyers continued to improve in the early 1970s. In 1972, they won their first division title. In 1973, they reached the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time, but they lost to the Boston Bruins in six games.
The Broad Street Bullies
The Flyers won their first Stanley Cup in 1974. That team was known as the "Broad Street Bullies" because of their physical style of play. The Flyers were led by Bobby Clarke, who was one of the most dominant players in the NHL at the time. Other key players on that team included Bernie Parent, Dave Schultz, and Bill Barber.
The Flyers repeated as Stanley Cup champions in 1975. They defeated the Buffalo Sabres in six games to win their second Cup in a row.
The 1980s and 1990s
The Flyers remained a competitive team throughout the 1980s and 1990s. They made the playoffs 18 times in those two decades, and they reached the Stanley Cup Finals three times. However, they were unable to win another Stanley Cup during that time.
