The Flyers missed the playoffs for the first time since the 1971–72 season and only the third time in franchise history. Regular season The 1989–90 season was one of the most turbulent in franchise history. Goaltender Ron Hextall had to sit out the first 12-games of the schedule, sentenced after cementing his folk-hero status in the city by crowning Chris Chelios in the waning minutes of Game 6 of the Wales Conference Finals in May. Unfortunately, the layoff plus contract disputes cost him practice time in training camp, and he was felled by groin injuries three separate times during the season. An ugly 1–6–1 start was reversed despite injuries to Hextall, Brian Propp, Tim Kerr, Mark Howe and others with the team atop the weakened Patrick Division after a win in Montreal just before Christmas. Little used Tony Horacek posted a hat trick in a 6–3 win in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
