The Flyers celebrate the upcoming induction of Mark Recchi into the Flyers Hall of Fame and 50th anniversary of the 1974 Stanley Cup champion Flyers with an alumni game on Friday.

The finalists for the Flyers Hall of Fame were named on Tuesday morning, with six members of the Flyers long and storied franchise being up for possible induction later this season. Here’s a closer look at the six and their case to join the names in the rafters.

The series of greatest moments continues with a moment that is not a great moment, but a tribute to one of the greatest players the Flyers franchise has ever known, Pelle Lindbergh.

It was a weekend full of festivities, starting with a New Year’s Eve Alumni Game for the ages that featured the return to the ice of many legends for both the Flyers and New York Rangers. Then came the main event on Monday, Jan. 2 where the two division rivals with a lot of history took the ice.

When the Flyers and Oilers met in the Stanley Cup Final in 1987, what ensued was a battle of wills that featured two epic comebacks and nearly saw the Flyers top a legendary team in a seven-game war, quite possibly the best Stanley Cup Final ever to take place. Even the greatest player in the league called Flyers netminder Ron Hextall the toughest he ever faced. 

Just like on Saturday, the Flyers came away with the victory, another 3-2 result against the Bruins, completing a very successful weekend that has them off to a great start this season.

Both Ivan Provorov, and Shayne Gostisbehere are sharp defensemen but this isn’t the first time that the Philadelphia Flyers have seen this type of dynamic duo on defense.
