This video aired after Game 7 of the 1987 Stanley Cup Finals between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Edmonton Oilers. The song is “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us” by Jefferson Starship and it was the original music for the video, not added by me.

I remember watching this. I was 6 at the time. Game 7 vs. the Oilers was the first Flyers game I remember watching. Philly57, those were the days!
I was 8 at the time. I taped Game 7 and this video tribute. I have, however, not seen it in about 10 years. It still is painful to watch. The 86-87 Flyers had heart, which is not often seen these days, in any sports.
I was 6 years old and this flyers team got me into hockey..i get chills watchin this video cause i can remember this run so vividly…that goal brad marsh scores against hrudey in game 7 of the islander series was something i will never forget….also J.J. Daigneault Blasting that shot past Fuhr in game 6 of the finals..I still to this day have not heard an arean that loud in my lifetime…great great stuff!!!
love these idiots saying "they never had a chance".. umm, you take ANY team to a game seven, you have a huge chance–and losing by a goal! yes, man for man, as good as the oilers–no. but as a whole they were a bounce or two away from the cup. i love gretzky and messier, but c'mon. i'm sure the oilers went into that series thinking "they don't have a chance", after game six i'm sure they weren't thinking the same thing.
Good video, but what´s the name of the song?
nothing gonna stop us now
thx!
Not a Flyers fan( Go Leafs;-) )but this is a neat video & a good song. That Oilers-Flyers Cup Final was a great series for hockey………
Wow! Where did you dig this up… I remember this! I LOVED this team. Game 7 they actually scored first on a 5-on-3. Tied after 1… So close… Grant Fuhr was so tough.
The Flyers will be back. Great fans, great franchise. They won't stay down long.
I love the flyers and have for 20 years, but three separate times during this video I went off and did some cleaning or some other boring thing I would do when a commercial comes on, because the music told my brain that nothing important or even interesting was happening.
LOL sorry I'm sure you meant well, but this mannequin song is a fat smelly pile of stupid dog shit haha
I've been looking for this video for years!!! I had this on tape for years and then it got erased by accident so thanks for posting it. I'd love to get a copy if its possible
this was one of the best flyers teams ever. i wish they still played in the spectrum!! that place was the best. i cant believe they are gonna shut that place down….i dont care how bad they are now…a flyers fan is a flyers fan to the end
Great team. Horrible song.
"Awkward."
Yeah, poor choice of song. Hard to believe that this was once Jefferson Airplane.
A Flyer fan is calling a Canadian 'classless'? Wow, isnt that the munchkin calling the midget short.
Nothin's gonna stop us now…EXCEPT the Oilers. WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The darkest period of hockey. Ron Hextall sucks. Fliers suck.
v is that guy serious hextall sucks flyers suck WHAT ok lets see u put the pads on i be u puss out hextall fought to hes a great goalie we owould have won if pelle was there
FLYERS FOR EVER !!!!!!!!
It didn't help that Tim Kerr was out as well…since he was their leading scorer..
yea, but the Flyers were also just a one-line show (the Legion of Doom). Many Flyers fans believed that Lindros, Leclair and Renberg could not be stopped by ANY team, given the amount of success they had. Leclair was impossible to get off the puck, until he met McCarty…Lindros was impossible to contain, until he met Niklas Lidstrom. The Red Wings also had a great offense led by Yzerman, Shannahan, Slava Kozlov, Sergei Federov, and Igor Larionov.
They lost in 7 games in 1st playoff round to Wash. after leading 3-1. Then Keenan left. It was sad.
no matter what happind in 88 or 98 or 2008 or 09 the philadelphia flyers are #1 in my heart
It's the Flyers, whoever posted this gay song is flying on something
I remember Ron "haxall" Hextall
gannable…I too was in 8th grade and I was heartbroken when they lost game 7 almost to tears. This team had more heart and soul than I've ever seen especially against an Oiler team that had several future hall of famers on it. I can say this about the flyers….at least we get there we've come up short in the finals many times sooner or later it will be our turn.
Newsflash: This team may not of been the best but they were the MOST hardworking team you would of ever seen, and they brought The Great One and the Oilers to 7 games.
It's the 80's, Why not?
I used to watch this everyday after the Flyers lost the Cup to the Oilers. I was 11 and haven't seen it since then. Great upload!
I love the Flyers they just made history last night by beating the shitty bruins but couldnt they find a cooler song to go with this video??
The music selection for this montage should be used as an example of why the 80s sucked AND were awesome at the same time. A mind-blowing concept, I know.
RON HEXTALL!!! Young Ron Hextall…pre groin injury Ron Hextall…was the greatest goaltender that I have ever seen.
Flyers showed a lot of Heart in 1987 going all the way to Stanley Cup Finals before losing to Wayne Gretzky and Edmonton.
Most beloved team in Flyers history
A bunch of Kids who had no business being out there, took the likes of Gretzky, Messier, Kurri, Coffey, and Fuhr to game 7, unreal
What they'll show a player bashing a guys head but not Ron Hextall?
Can someone repost this?
Such Memories, We Gave It Our All. That's All I Can Ask!! Go Flyers!!!
great video, brought back some interesting memories. but i'm gonna have some nightmares about that guy at 0:13….
Flyers are 0-6 in the SC Finals since 1975. Utterly inexcusable.
This coming from a lifelong diehard Flyers fan.
Lots of similarities between the 87 Flyers and the 87 St. Louis Cardinals.
good job clarke – trading Mccrimmon that off season
Then Crossman the following off-season
For bullshit reasons.
He ruined a great defensive unit with those moves
Till this day if they scored that second goal in game 7 they would have won the cup
Unfortunately I remember watching this. That team gave everything they had. A healthy Tim Kerr may have changed the outcome. Even without him, they were one period away
I've been a Flyer fan since the 70s. I don't care if we've never had the cup for awhile. I'll never change my colors. Regardless
I Remember that like it was yesterday what a run the Flyers had in the 87 playoffs congratulations on that run it was unbelievable.
COatsey , just a young boy
Nothing’s gonna stop us now…except the Oilers. Suck it Flyers.
Amazing they took that EDM team to 7 games. If only we had a healthy Tim Kerr.
