Return Flight: Hartnell and Laperriere throw hands

The Philadelphia Flyers run to the 2010 Stanley Cup Final didn’t result in the Orange and Black winning the ultimate prize, but it was one of the more incredible rides in franchise history. After being 29th in the standings in late December of 2010, the Flyers squeaked into the postseason with the famous Game 82 shootout win over Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers. From there they beat the second-seeded New Jersey Devils in five games, reverse swept the Boston Bruins, and ended the Montreal Canadiens’ attempt at owning the underdog story of the 2010 postseason.
