well at least they have cups

Yep, we absolutely are cursed

We lost to the Best. Dynasties.

It's like nobody read a book and now they think they can?

Every move somehow gets worse lol this is legendary

The Buffalo Sabres have entered the chat.

I am very sorry for those players who battled such terrible physical misfortunes. Prayers for each of them and their families. But the Flyers get zero sympathy after they brawled their wayvto two Cups. A style of hockey that left hurt the image the game and the league so badly, it damn near lost a national TV contract in the late 1970s. A style of hockey which coined the phrase: 'Went to the fighs, and a hockey game broke out.' A style of hockey left such a bad stain on the game, it took the Winter Olympics of 2010 to finally remove it. 2010. So to that organization I say: Losing in the Finals so many damn times is Karma. Smell it.

Did you run out of historical footage? Around 0:30, we see goalie Ron Hextall holding the Conn Smythe trophy in his hands while the narration mentions that Reggie Leach won the Conn Smythe in 1976. To be fair, Ron Hextall did win the Conn Smythe in a losing cause in the 1986-87 Stanley Cup Finals against the Edmonton Oilers. Reggie Leach was a right winger by the way.

Flyers ran into 5 dynasties (70s Habs, 80s isles and oilers, 90s red wings, 2010s hawks) during the cup finals since they won the cup.

But wait theres so much more! Mainly the curse affects the GOALIES- How about young Vezina winning franchise goalie Pelle Lingbergh dying in a car crash, having your starting goalie getting hurt twice (Brian Boucher/Michael Leighton) during the 2010 run to the Stanley Cup Finals, trading away another not once but 2 time Vezina winner and future Stanley Cup champion in Sergei Bobrovsky, signing one of the better starting golies in the league in Ilya Bryzgalov to a massive long term contract only to have him be incredibly inconsistent and drastically underperform, Ivan Fedotov being forced to serve in the military of wartime Russia, and Alexei Kolosov wnot wanting to play for the team after getting culture shocked and homesick from not having anyone that speaks Russian around him. The we gave the skaters- How about losing your Hart trophy and Stanley Cup winning future Hall of Fame #1 defenseman Chris Pronger having his career ended early by a freak injury, trading away one of the best 2-way top line centers in the league at the time in Mike Richards and top line sniping winger Jeff Carter immediately after falling 2 wins shy of winning the Cup who shortly thereafter went on to win 2 Cups together as cornerstones of an incredibly dominant borderline dynasty L.A. Kings team, and just recently having a top 5 draft pick ghost you and demand a trade This is all just off the top of my head so i know for a fact theres much more. It's the epitome tragic what has befell my beloved franchise. I'm gonna do a deep dive and follow up post my findings!

the sabres, canucks, and maple leafs exist, you know that, right?

Been watching hockey since the mid-90s and I'm a lifelong Flyers fan. I saw that game where Lindros' lung was punctured. I saw the Red Wings sweep them. I was upset when Bobbly Clarke coldly said in a press conference after naming Bill Barber head coach, "We didn't tell [Roger Nielsen] to get cancer." I watched Rod Brind'Amour and Justin Williams win the Cup... with Carolina. I watched Mike Richards and Jeff Carter with the Cup... with the Kings (also with Justin Williams). SOMEBODY finally agrees... the Flyers are cursed 😂

This was great, but did miss on a few major, gigantic things. Chief among them was: 1.) 2004 - Having a Cup contending team that literally ran out of healthy defensemen (they were so injured on defense that they resorted to utilizing 5'6" Sami Kapanen on D). They eventually lost to the eventual Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning. 2.) Pelle Lindbergh - They had a Star-level young goalie who got overconfident, arrogant and brash and crashed his exotic sports car driving under the influence, killing himself.

Part 2!!!!

As someone who grew up in a Habs family in the '70s and then went on to become a Wings fan, I am grateful for the ill-fated Flyers and their badass Hallowe'en colours. Without worthy opponents like the Legion of Doom and the Broad Street Bullies, the victories of the Canadiens or the Red Wings would not be as hard-fought and there would be no glory. Thank you Flyers and the forces of darkness- we need you to give life meaning.

Flyers also completely dropped the ball with Bobrovsky and I will never forgive them for that.

Great video. A few misses concerning the Flyers 'Cursed' legacy. 1. Vezina winning goalie Pelle Lindbergh tragically dying in a car crash as he was entering his prime. 2. Bernie Parent losing an eye. 3. Keith Primeau who was a natural leader and had grown into a dominant center for the Flyers (including scoring the famous 50T goal against the Penguins, turning the tide of that playoff) received a career-ending injury from a freak play with his head/eye.

hot take Lindros was overrated

Mel Bridgman mention, love to see it

All that stuff and Lindbergh DOESN'T even get a mention. Great video.

The Canucks GM before Benning, Mike "if I haven't got something good to do, then why pretend to do anything good for the team" Gillis, WAS WORSE than Benning, who inhereted Gillis' team of almost nothing other than the aging twins. Seriously? Gillis... Ugh. THE WORST. The record is set straight. Cheers!

Two more stories I don’t know if this is mentioned but Eric Lindros nearly died by the Flyers incompetence. In 1999 during a game Lindros suffering a collapsed lung which went undiagnosed; the team wanted to get him taken back to Philly to he evaluated. Later after the game the Flyers current president of operations Keith Jones found Lindros passed out in the hotel room they shared. “ “Lindros was lying in a tub, pale and cold. In a call to the Flyers, the trainer was told to put Lindros on a plane that was returning to Philadelphia with another injured teammate.” Jones had to insist the Flyers take Lindros to a hospital in the city they were playing at; the team relented and did so; they found out Lindros had internal bleeding from the collapsed lung. caused by internal bleeding of his chest wall. The 1999 incidnet was also the start of the break in the Flyers relationship with Lindros. After the incident Lindros's father wrote the Flyers a letter in which he stated that if the trainer had followed team orders, Eric would be dead, a statement supported by the doctors who treated him in Nashville. Had the Flyers not relented to Jones request to get Lindros a doctor than as many experts have said it is almost certain Lindros would have passed before they reached Philly; even to this day Lindros credits Jones with saving his life. The story takes place in 2022 the Flyers also signed Russian goalie prospect Ivan Fedotov and that same day they signed him he was picked up and arrested by Russian authorities for draft dodging. Fedotov was taken to a recruitment center and he reported that he had been given an injection which sent him to the hospital; from the hospital he was forcefully taken and abducted by Russian authorities and forced to spend a year in a base in Siberia as punishment. Fedotov was robbed of two years of his NHL career but this story has a happy ending as Fedotov arrived in Philly and began playing games and will look to compete for the goalie job next season.

Those losers are about to bust out of the loser category, Grier has done amazing job so far and will be back as contenders for the 25-26 season and i don't think it takes that long from there, for them to take their first Stanley Cup.

The Patrick Kane comparison is really good, he legit is the nhl's Kyrie Irving (Except for his anti semitic comments).

If it wasn’t for my Oilers they may have had a couple Cups.

JR shouldve stayed. Forsberg didnt last

As a pens fan, I was really enjoying the video until the end there.

*sigh*

You're a clueless clown. Chiarelli and Botterill were worse than Benning just in his tenure. It is hilarious how Canucks fans can brainwash people like yourself. Benning was just average bad. And not even close to the worst ever.

The Vancouver Canucks say: Hold my beer!

Ngl Buffalo and Columbus would kill to have the success fliers have had. It's a tough league and getting that cup is a monumental task

Flyers most cursed sports team? Pittsburgh Pirates: Hold my 🍻.😢😢

THG made a video on this nice Synergy

Nolan Patrick a franchise superstar??? Lindros, yes, Patrick no no no. Juniors are not NHL. But furthermore it was a nice video to watch and informative. Cheers!

Not sure about most cursed, the Sabres, Leafs, and Canucks all make damn good cases, but being a Philly fan must suck. Sorry to all of you guys, hope Michkov leads you to a third Cup

!976 flyers vs habs bernie won both conn smythes in our victories hurt in preseason missed all but about 10 games...was not himself...rick macliesh led both times in playoff goals injured i i think 53rd game of season missed playoffs.....excluding empty net goals flyers lost all 4 games by a goal...habs were maybe best team ever....i am going off memory here....1980 offsides....isles power play was record setting they destroyed us on the pp i think they had 15 pp goals in the series we still almost got them to a 7th game...1985 kerr played game one 2 goals 1 assist pelle played 4 games on a bad knee...excluding empty netters flyers lost 3 games by a goal brad mccrimmon out whole series,,,,1987 lets not even go there no kerr half the damn team was playing injured remember al hill and tim tookey anyone lol huge in islanders series i was at game 7 with my dad miss him..97 terry muarry was clueless. 2000 lets not go there....2004 defense had so many injuries sammi kappanen was back there played his heart out tampa barely beat us........keith Primeau was a monster tied the score with an empty net set up gange for the winner.in game 6.......kieths career cut short by same as 88..........i pray god smiles on us and michkov stays healthy.........flyers made final 4 in 77 78 89 95 2000 2004 2008 add the 6 finals flyers have 13 trips to the final 4 no cup......I HAVE SUFFERED LO THESE MANY YEARS.............I am 57 i pray to god the flyers win a cup before i die...............i mean it....i goddamn pray foy my flyers I will conclude by saying.............LETS GO FLYERS.

Eh, "Most cursed franchise in sports" = A very BIG clam for the Flyers, considering while the Flyers after 1975 has 3-4 finals appearence while to Maple Leafs have not won a Cup since 1967 OR even made the finals since then as well witch makes them havong the longest Cup drought in NHL history (!). The Sabres have a bigger claim as well since 1970, they have never won a single Cup, and there last finals appearence was in 1999, and been having since then so many terrible seasons. Heck, they have now missed-out on the play-offs for 13 STRAIGHT seasons...and not won a play-off round series since 2007 = 17 years. Then have NBA teams like Atlanta Hawks, Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards, New York Knicks, Sacramento Kings or Chicago Bulls. NFL teams like: Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Cleveland Browns etc-etc also have arguably bigger claims.

Great video, that was painful to watch as the Flyers are my favorite team in all of sports... The fans never give up on this team that`s why if they ever win a cup it will be memorable!

This video is LONG OVERDUE I have suffered with my flyers we are really cursed.........i have watched all 6 finals we lost....... injury luck in the playoffs has benn unfreaking real.

6:46

6:28

Good video - one correction though - the photo you use for Reggie Leach’s Conn Smyth win is actually Ron Hextall winning the same award a decade later.

You know Harold Ballard existed, right? Leafs have been the biggest joke in NHL year in year out since the moon landing, most cursed clickbait title if anything.

Pelle Lindbergh also makes a great case for this franchise being cursed. A Vezina trophy winner who passed away in a a car crash right at the start of his prime.

we need the flyers to make a comeback. i think by 2030 youll see us in the finals

Lindros was the best player and toughest on the flyers. The so called role players didn't protect Eric when someone would take a run at him. If myself was picking the perfect team when every player was in their prime, Lindros would be on the team no doubt. If he stayed healthy he would have been the best power forward in NHL history.

"The Most Cursed Franchise in Sports" Yeah right. We Canucks fans laugh at that remark.

Thank goodness for Bobby Clarke

the maple leafs are more cursed than the flyers if you ask me not having won shit let alone a cup final sine 1967 and only 1 playoff series win since 2004

You leave out Pelle Lindbergh? Cmon son.
