The 2009/10 NHL Season is off and running and ticket holders watched as the Philadelphia Flyers got off to a big bang as the club signed of-troubled goalie Ray Emery to a 1-year contract and longtime Flyer Derian Hatcher retired and became the teams development coach. The team then looked to the draft where they selected Canadian Goaltender Adam Morrison who is currently in the WHL playing for the Saskatoon Blades. The team also picked up free agents Ian Laperriere (3-yr $3.5 million), Brian Boucher (2-yr $1.85 million), Ray Emery (1-yr 41.5 million) to name but a few. The Flyers are currently sitting in 3rd place in the NHL Eastern Conference Atlantic Division

The 2008/09 season began with Head Coach John Stevens naming Mike Richards only the 17th team captain in team history. The team ended with a record of 44-27-11 and in 5th place in the Eastern Conference. In the playoffs, the Flyers met up with the Pittsburgh Penguins who eliminated them for the second consecutive year in six games.

In 2007/08 the Flyers finished with a 42-29-11 record and qualified for the NHL Playoffs and took on the Washington Capitals who took them to 7 games. The Flyers won the series 4-3 and next faced the Montreal Canadiens. The Flyers took them out in five games, winning the series 4-1. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Flyers met their match in the Pittsburgh Penguins and were eliminated in five games, losing 4 games to 1.

Philadelphia Flyers tickets came within a heartbeat of delivering a Stanley Cup Finals appearance to Philadelphia hockey fans in the Flyers last campaign. Did the Flyers rest on their laurels and sit pat, thinking they were good enough. No way. Flyers GM Bob Clarke bit the bullet, tossing aside veterans like John LeClair and Tony Amante, and banking on the future with Jeff Carter and Mike Richards, two promising draft choices that played key roles in helping the Philadelphia Phantoms, the Flyers farm team, win the Calder Trophy. The result? Buying Flyers tickets may be the first step to getting your hands on Stanley Cup Finals tickets.

The Philadelphia Flyers came to town in 1967, ending a long drought for hockey fans. The City of Brotherly Love was part of a six team expansion that saw the NHL double in size, an ambitious program to bring hockey to the masses. Competing in the Western Division, the Flyers finished on top the all-expansion grouping with a 31-32-11 record. Tough as nails, that first Flyers team pushed the St. Louis Blues to the limit, losing their first NHL Playoff series after seven games.

It didn't take the Flyers long to establish themselves in the NHL. By the 1973-74 season the Flyers were a brawling beast, earning the nickname of "The Broad Street Bullies" with their tough and aggressive style of play. The regular season was a combat zone as the Flyers finished 50-16-12 behind the play of Bernie Parent, the NHL's top goalie. Heading into the NHL Playoffs, the Flyers first victim was the Atlanta Flames, snuffed out in a four game sweep. The New York Rangers were a lot tougher though, and it took seven games for the Flyers to prevail, punching their Stanley Cup Finals tickets with a home win on the ice of The Spectrum. A 1-1 split with the Boston Bruins to open the Stanley Cup Finals broke wide open as the Flyers took advantage of the home crowd to lead the series 3-1. Though the Bruins fought back to win Game 5, the Flyers first Stanley Cup came home with a win at The Spectrum in Game 6.

The Flyers pounded their way through the NHL to another Stanley Cup in 1975. A 51 win campaign in the new Patrick Division gave the Flyers a first round bye in the NHL Playoffs. The Toronto Maple Leafs fell in four games. Philadelphia ran out to 3-0 lead in their series against the New York Islanders, only to watch in dismay as the boys from the Big Apple rallied for wins in the next three to force Game 7. Rebounding with a 4-1 win, the Flyers headed for their second straight Stanley Cup Finals pitted against the Buffalo Sabres. Though Buffalo would even the series at 2-2, the Flyers won their second Stanley Cup with a win in Game 6.

Philadelphia Flyers tickets, already one of the NHL's best ticket buys, hit the stratosphere when the Flyers went on a signing spree, landing Derian Hatcher of the Detroit Red Wings, Mike Rathje of the San Antonio Sharks, and brought Chris Therien home from Dallas. NHL hockey pundits are now pointing to the Wachovia Center as the road to the Stanley Cup. Can the Flyers live up to the hype? Get your Philadelphia Flyers tickets now and find out.
