The 2003-04 Flyers were no doubt one of the beloved teams of the decade —and perhaps more— in recent history, and added an iconic memory to their story on this very date.
Trailing Tampa Bay 3-2 in the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals and their backs against the wall back at home, the Flyers found themselves just 20 minutes away from elimination trailing 4-3 entering the third period.
Two Vincent Lecavalier goals sandwiched around a pair of Ruslan Fedotenko goals gave the opposing Lightning the edge over Flyers goals from Keith Primeau, Simon Gagne, and Sami Kapanen to that point, but the Orange and Black weren’t about to be done on this night.
