The franchise has been the runner up the last six times they vied for a Stanley Cup. Their goaltender of the ’80s died tragically. Their generational talent was theirs, then belonged to the Rangers, then was theirs again after a ruling on July 1, 1992 went in Philadelphia’s favor regarding Eric Lindros. In the 2000s, the Flyers were contenders a few times, but eventually lost to the eventual Stanley Cup champions. Then there was the Shea Weber offer sheet, and that didn’t materialize. Then the...
