Detroit was much more prepared to play the Flyers in '97 than they were New Jersey in '95. It's interesting to note that while the Red Wings made it back to the finals two years after the New Jersey disaster, the Flyers would never return to the finals in the Eric Lindros era.
I remember the media and and the announcers blowing philly " oh philly will destroy detroit" " lindros is gonna run over them" " the legion of doom" hahahah and then we shut them the fuck up!! lol
Everyone in Detroit knew that the Wings were going to win that series, but I knew after Kocur scored on a breakaway that the Flyers were not going to win a single game in that series.
Thanks for the upload! The media hype leading up to this series was ALL flyers, and I think their players fell for it. "Legion of Doom!" Ha! More like legion of broom! John Leclair is the one guy on that line I respected, and the only one I could imagine in a wings uniform. Yeah as a wings fan I'm biased, but IMO lindros was an entitled bully, not a great hockey player. For comparison just look at who's wearing the C for the wings. Nuff said.

I was watching this live in Czech as 9 years old boy 😃
Good quality
haha the old puck tracker. Love it.
8:30 when the announcers would actually try to educate the public on hockey systems.
Ahh the golden area of clutch and grab
I miss these days of hockey. No instigator rule and no plastic armor.
The puck's glitchy in this game…

27:10 " If there's a 7th game. Alot of people forecast that" LMAO
49:43 Bobby Orr who was a forward and won D men honours picks the Flyers
I can't believe anyone thought the glowing puck was a good idea 🤢
I loved the laser puck as a kid even though it's not looked at fondly nowadays.
