Philadelphia Flyers 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
It was more of the same for the Philadelphia Flyers and the John Tortorella experiment. In his three seasons as head coach of the Flyers, Tortorella never produced a playoff season. After a near miss last year, there was hope that the Flyers would return to the postseason. Instead, that brief flirtation proved to be a mirage. Philadelphia took a big step back this season, and Tortorella was fired with nine games remaining in the season. Now, Philadelphia will spend the offseason searching for answers and perhaps a new coach after interim HC Brad Shaw finished out the string with a 5-3-1 record.

Philadelphia Flyers Key Players

Philadelphia Flyers Goaltenders
Carter Hart was the Flyers' number one goaltender. However, due to ongoing legal issues, he was let go as a restricted free agent. At one time, Hart was the team's central hope, but now that is over. His departure in 2024 likely cost the Flyers a playoff spot and has not been resolved.
Top goalie Samuel Ersson is now the starter. Last year, he posted a 23-19-7 record with a 2.82 goals against average, a .890 save percentage, and four shutouts. This year, Ersson has a 3.14 goals against average and a save percentage of .883. His record is 22-17-5 with two shutouts.
Philadelphia Flyers Head Coach
Head coach John Tortorella is a favorite with NHL fans and media despite his tendency to spar with them. The volatile Tortorella is one of the most compelling personalities in the game. His career record was 770-648-37-165, with a 2004 Stanley Cup championship as HC of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He is a two-time Jack Adams Award winner as NHL coach of the year. Philadelphia is now gone and the coaching search is on for Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Flyers History
The Flyers were founded in 1967 when the NHL launched “The Great Expansion,” which doubled the league's size from six to 12 teams. Philadelphia quickly became a contender and won consecutive Stanley Cup championships in 1974 and 1975. Known then as the “Broad Street Bullies,” the Flyers were both ruffians and highly skilled. Bobby Clarke was their inspirational captain, with Bernie Parent dominating in goal.
The Flyers were the most successful of the “Second Six” 1967 expansion franchises and were a national sensation. Getting a ticket to their games at the old Spectrum in Philadelphia was impossible. From 1973 to 1989, the Flyers made the Stanley Cup Playoffs every season. They made six Stanley Cup Final appearances in that span, winning twice.
Philadelphia had a second wave of near greatness from 1995 through 2012. During those years, they missed the playoffs only once. Philadelphia made the Stanley Cup Final twice, losing both times. Eric Lindros was the marquee man of the first portion of that era.
Retired Flyers numbers belong to goalie Bernie Parent #1, defenseman Mark Howe #2, defenseman Barry Ashbee #4, left wing Bill Barber #7, center Bobby Clarke #16, and center Eric Lindros #88.
