  2. dudewithchronicpain

    Oduya and 1 GP with that professional pic is just so funny to me for some reason

  3. BrandonIngeFan

    Ryan Ellis only playing 4 games for them is mind blowing. Loved him when he was on the Spitfires

  4. guyzieman

    I’ll always remember Geoff Sanderson on the Flyers because of that one time he knocked Lundqvist out of a game with his slapper.

  5. JiveChicken00

    I guess Vinny Lecavalier played for us too long to make this list, but having him on the team never felt quite right.

  6. Keith Yandles ironman night was the most electric I’ve ever seen the WFC. Absolutely amazing to witness that Flyers legend cross that premier milestone. The embodiment of a true cult hero.

  7. DanTreview

    Ah yes, Philly legend Ryan Ellis.

    Now, whenever someone goes on LTIR, we say they’re lampooned on “Ellis Island.”

  8. I do NOT remember Kevin Stevens as a Flyer and I hate it.

    I guess that’s why the Penguins responded by signing over the hill John Leclair, which I image we’ll be seeing soon.

  9. realdeal411

    Gave up a ton for Adam Oates and we lost in the first round IIRC. I feel like we had a revolving door from 2000 to 2004 with the supporting cast.

    Shoutout to Bruce Cowick and his 0 regular season games

  10. Cheap_Calendar_501

    There is nothing unusual about Jagr being on any team tbh

  11. Farfignewtons42

    I’m glad Max Talbot wasn’t included, did not feel like crying today

  12. whogivesashirtdotca

    What’s up with the jersey in the Zhitnik photo? It looks like a sleep-deprived Flyers logo.

  13. I swear Talbot and Gill played more than 4/6 games. Weird how memory works.

  14. jamaicancovfefe

    I used to have a Jagr Flyers shirsey that I would wear to be a troll. Shame it doesn’t fit anymore

  15. ArcanumAntares

    Paul Coffey, 96-98, 94 games played, 55pts.

    That was a weird stint.

  16. miah_the_bee

    I look forward to seeing these posts everyday! Question though… why do so many guys play on the unusual team for only a handful of games? Im sure there’s a multitude of reasons but any insight is appreciated.

  17. Krispyford

    I always used to grab Hal Gill in the video games back in the day. No matter which team I picked in GM Mode, he was always a budget free agency pickup. He was great for the third pair or as a 7th D.

  18. NatalieDeegan

    Keith Yandle’s year with Philly at the end was one of the worst players I’ve ever seen play. No way he gets that record if Torts is the coach that year.

    Would have rather seen Cogliano get it, he would have been healthy and played good enough the supposed year he would have got it.

  19. It seems like Cam Talbot has been on every single team

  20. bananafone7475

    Fun fact, Robert Esche’s nickname was ‘Chico’ because Glenn ‘Chico’ Resche. On Robert’s sticks, it would say ‘R. Esche’, so the Chico nickname stuck.

  21. GeorgeOrwells1985

    Sharp was drafted by Philly, nothing unusual about him being in a flyers jersey at all

  22. sasksasquatch

    Still remember Hawerchuk getting lit up by Konstantinov in the SCF.

  23. dpolidoro

    My man! Thank you! There were a couple that I didn’t remember until seeing them here. Good stuff, man!

  24. MichaelMaugerEsq

    My favorite hockey jersey that I own is an og Adam Oates black flyers jersey. Sometimes I just like imagining the guy (or gal) who was so jazzed up in Oates in 2002 that (or she) went out and bought the jersey right after the deadline. Only for the season to die a fiery death and Oates to run out of Philly as fast as he could.

  25. Sarcastic__

    Ryan Johansen would be here on future lists if he had gotten in 1 game before they found out he’s literally broken.

  26. Tome_Bombadil

    Derian Hatcher probably played top long, but is a wtf for me.

  27. johnnylawrwb

    No one looked better in Flyers orange than the human pylon Hal Gill.

  28. octoroklobstah

    Bruins legend Alexei Zhamnov, surprised he wasn’t on that list tbh. Huge bummer what happened to him.

  29. AutoDeskSucks-

    Gill and Pronger would have been a menace of a d pairing

  30. ImmySnommis

    I kinda expected to see Babych here. Like 30 something games?

  31. I’m surprised I haven’t seen jagr more.

    Or maybe I haven’t just been paying attention.

  32. YoungFuel

    Patrick Sharp? Really never knew he played for the flyers before the hawks

  33. Jagr and Talbot signing with philly was like hulk hogan joining nwo

  34. LunarGhoul

    Petr Mrazek is another one that I always forget had a stint on the Flyers

  35. TimeShade

    Sharp was literally drafted by Philly, how is that unusual?

  36. Crashmaster007

    My Jagr Flyers jersey is one of my favorites. Got me many free drinks when I wore it to the NHL Global Series game in Prague.

  37. About900babies

    You cannot tell me Martin Jones wasn’t here for 3 years
