1987 Philadelphia Flyers' Road to the Finals
This is a compilation of ESPN's old highlight videos that walk you through each of the Philadelphia Flyers' first three rounds of the 1987 playoffs on their way to ...
Roy was on the team but was not the starter yet. Hextall was locked in the
locker room by Mike Keenan anyway. The Starting goalies were the only ones
not on the ice for the brawl. That said, Hextall would have killed Roy in a
fight. Roy had his chance in '89 and all he do was wait till Hextall was
restrained by the refs and only THEN skate out to between the faceoff
circles and yell at him. If the roles were reversed imagine how fast
Hextall would have been down there protecting his teammate.
@industrialsun Ahhh! Nice work. After seeing your initial message I went
back to confirm my incorrect assumption and completely missed that pattern.
Yea, Mees was great which is why I did not double check it in the first
place. His choice of words on that one sucked. His saying "not to have a
CHANCE to repeat" sets the bar at merely making it back to the finals and
giving the team a "chance" to repeat. He should have just said "first team
not to repeat as champions since 1974". Much clearer.
@industrialsun You know you are right. I always gave Mees the benefit of
the doubt and assumed that he meant that every team since 74 that won at
least got back to the finals and had a chance to repeat. I just looked it
up and apparently I was wrong to assume that. I think his statement is just
flat out incorrect because even if he was speaking just in regards to
Canadians teams, it would make no sense to go back as far as '74 because
they were not in the finals in 74 or 75. WTF Meese?
@guspappas1 "MAJORITY of the season and playoffs"? Regular season: Roy 46GP
vs Hayward 37GP. That is FAR from a "majority". Playoffs? Roy 6GP vs
Hayward 13GP. Uhh? That is LESS than half my friend. Better check your
facts again. Same goes for you assessment of the Potvin fight. "Punched
out"? LOL. Fight was a draw at best. About his "bite"? Better ask Chris
Chellios, Alain Chevrier, Rob Pearson, Kent Nillson, Craig Berube, Tomas
Sandstrom & Rob Brown who RAN AWAY from him.
No problem. Glad to share. There is MUCH more to come. You know what sucks
though is that I have SO much great stuff on tape but so many of them have
either the beginning cut off where I was maybe a little slow to hit record.
Or the end is cut off when the VCR would wind the tape back just a few
seconds before recording. So some of them I am hesitant to post for that
reason. Guess I will just have to pick and choose what is still worth
posting.
@DaveTV2 Patrick Roy was the starting goalie for the majority of the season
and playoffs, and Bryan Hayward was more than a capable
backup...Philadelphia had some great teams in the 80's, three times in the
finals but didn't win the cup...it was a better league then and not
wattered down like today. By the way Hextall got punched out badly by
little Felix Potvin of the Leafs, Hextall's bark was worse than his bite.
Do I remember haring somewhere that that was the first time in history that
anyone had won 3 games in a series in the forum? Did the fight have
something to do with it? Hard to say for sure but if I had to answer. I
would say yes. Lemieux might have pissed them off enough to make them play
with a bit more anger and intensity which may have given them an edge.
@Purpleoj27 It was actually two years later in 1989 that he attacked
Chelios in game 6 of the semi-finals. For the record I did not do anything
on this video other than to string them together. These were from ESPN. I
created the other series on my page highlighting just the 87 Finals. 7
Videos. 1 for each game.
@foppa123 I think what he said was that they were the "first Stanley Cup
champions not to have a chance to repeat since 1974". Meaning every team
that had won the cup between 1974 and 1987 at least got back to the finals
the following year giving themselves a "chance to repeat". Not just the
Habs.
In layman's terms, the Habs of 86-87 were the first team not to even get a
chance to be repeat champs since the Habs of '74. Everyone after that
either repeated as cup champs or got a chance to do it again.
@industrialsun Looking at it from strictly a Flyers point of view, I never
realized that. I have that game on tape. Bossy was a great player. Guess it
goes without being said.
Flyers were an awesome team in '87 its just too bad that they played so
many playoff games, 27 games in 54 days is nuts, while the Oilers had a
cakewalk to the finals

I have this game on vhs too. Somehow my younger bros(5 or 6 at the time)
discovered the magic of recording and taped a spongebob episode right over
the McCarty goal. -___- I had it saved to the exact second(favorite Gary
Thorne call of all time). Sad day
from 3:40 to 4:23 u could tell Verney really showed up fer tht game. His
agility was off the wall. he could slide back and forth int hat crease so
well. and hey..he could even act a defenseman seeing as he takes out
Leclares skate pretty well. lol
