There are many eras of Flyers history. Most fans want to embrace and fondly remember two of them.
First, and foremost, is the Broad Street Bull Era. After all, they were the team that won two Stanley Cups, gave the team their identity, and helped inspire the classic film, Slapshot. Then, some loved the '90s Legion of Doom/Eric Lindros Era. It makes sense. It was a dominant team that was always a Stanley Cup contender.
However, there is one era of Flyers history that gets ignored: the 1980s. Starting with the 1980 loss in the Stanley Cup to the upstart New York Islanders, the Flyers of the 1980s would go to two Stanley Cups and lose to the Edmonton Oilers dynasty and just fall short to the Montreal Canadiens in the 1989 Eastern Conference Finals.
