rangers flyers 1986 series games 4 and 5 newsclips

[@danielkelegian5306]

This series is one of the biggest upsets in NHL history. The Flyers were the #1 seed in the Wales with 110 points, 32 points ahead of the Rangers in the standings. The Rangers then beat the #2 seed Caps before losing to the Canadiens.

Flyers were emotionally & physically drained from Pelle's death and a month-long challenge for the division title from Washington. Plus, Ted Sator was an assistant coach the 2 years prior in Philly & knew how to turn their style against them. And Beezer played insane goal in Games 2 & 5.

this was the smurf series ? when keenan called us smurfs and we showered the ice with those blue toy dolls?

[@ANTHONY0808able]

No, your timeline is a little off. It was Bob McCammon that famously called the Rangers smurfs when the Rangers were KOing the Flyers from the playoffs in 1982 and 1983 first round series.
