Just a little programming note that although the Flyers and Sixers are both off tonight, one of the greatest Orange & Black games of all time will be televised on Comcast Sportsnet starting at 7PM. Whether you were alive in 1987 and old enough to remember the playoff run or you're a younger fan who wants to retrospectively witness Flyers history, this is a great game to watch. Hextall vs. Fuhr... Messier, Gretzky, Kurri, Coffey... Zezel, Tocchet, Howe, Propp, Craven, Eklund, March, Big Kjell, ... JJ Daigneault... and of course, Gene Hart. Anyone who was there recounts how the building shook in the third period.
After the jump, the video highlights for those of you who don't mind spoilers or don't have CSN in your market.
These are the Flyers I can remember being there when I first became a fan and for years after. It was the same sport, but a different game.
