Customer Review: 5 Stars...but some big games missing
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I'll give this five stars for the general concept, and I'm certainly happy to see these games again. But I disagree with some of the game selections.
First, only four of the ten games are home games (and only three at the old Spectrum). There was a special magic of Spectrum games.
Second and related...there were other games that really could have been added instead:
- Game 6 of the Conference finals against Quebec, in May of 1985, when Dave Poulin scored a shorthanded goal while the Flyers were two men short. The Spectrum EXPLODED when Poulin beat Mario Gosselin high to the glove side. Flyers won this game 3-0 to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals
- Game 5 of the Conference finals against Boston, in May of 1976, when Reggie Leach scored 5 goals at the Spectrum.
There are a few others I could mention, but those are the two biggest, and certainly could have been chosen over some of the more recent road games. I see there's a new DVD coming out in April on the history of the Flyers - hopefully it will cover some of these classic moments.
Customer Review: Great set
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I dont know why but i've always liked the Flyers. Maybe they were hyping up Eric Lindros and I thought "Cool." but The Flyers have been my favorite team since I can remember. Ive stuck with the Flyers even though they had lost mostly every game last year, goaltenders who are great in regular season but cant cut it in the playoffs, and ever since Lindros was captain- every captain of the Flyers have got injuried, traded, or retired. Ive stuck with them but I cant say im a ultimate Flyers fan, I was not born in there glory days of the 70's. I love this set and it might not be the greatest games but Flyers fans choose them, so they must know something. I think it sucks they dont have a game with Eric Lindros or the Legion of Doom line from the time I proclaimed them my favorite team. A very good set and I highly recommend it to any Flyer's fan.Customer Review: For The Flyers Fanatic

This box set was released to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Flyers franchise. Collecting together the ten greatest games in franchise history, these are complete game broadcasts. The picture is grainy on some of the older games, but overall the set is first rate. This is a must own for any Flyers fan and with the way they are playing this year, it's nice to remember some of the glory days.Customer Review: Flyers

This is an excellent series put out by the NHL. Unlike the Penguins series it covers games from over a 30 year period of Flyers history. So one can see the Flyers clinching the cup in the mid 70's to a the modern day pre lockout Flyers. Plus one gets to the Soviet Union at the height of their hockey power as well.Customer Review: For the true fan
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Excellent. A must for any Flyers fan. Very disappointed that they still hold a grudge against Eric Lindros as there were more that 10 games that could have made the cut with him, especially the winning game against the Rangers to get to the Cup finals against Detroit. Nice to hear Gene Hart again though.
