Regular season
editThe 1989–90 season was one of the most turbulent in franchise history.
GoaltenderRon Hextallhad to sit out the first 12-games of the schedule, sentenced after cementing his folk-hero status in the city by crowningChris Cheliosin the waning minutes of Game 6 of the Wales Conference Finals in May. Unfortunately, the layoff plus contract disputes cost him practice time in training camp, and he was felled by groin injuries three separate times during the season.
An ugly 1–6–1 start was reversed despite injuries to Hextall,Brian Propp,Tim Kerr,Mark Howeand others with the team atop the weakened Patrick Division after a win in Montreal just before Christmas.
Little usedTony Horacekposted a hat trick in a 6–3 win in Los Angeles over the Kings on December 30, but the team suffered through a dismal 10-game winless stretch thereafter (0–7–3) from December 31 through January 23. Previous inconsistent play plus the slide costDave Poulinhis captaincy on December 15,[2]then forced his trade to Boston for former FlyerKen Linseman.[3]The move did not work, and despite breaking the skid with an 8–6 win against the Jets, Holmgren accused his club of quitting during a 7–2 loss at Washington on January 28 - a defeat which put them three points behind the Capitals in last place.
Newly acquired back-upPete Peetershad his only season highlight with a 3–0 shutout over Toronto on February 15, but he finished the season 1–13–5. On February 28 in Vancouver, the team was lucky to pull out a 7–7 tie after blowing a 5–2 first-period lead. In the interim, Wells was dealt to the Sabres for unknown winger and future NHL refereeKevin Maguire.
Following an inspired win in Calgary on March 1, Propp was traded to the Bruins, and a four-goal game byMark Messierin a 5–3 loss to Edmonton two days later triggered a four-game losing streak. The nadir of the late-season collapse came on March 17 in Quebec, as the Flyers allowed three third-period goals to drop a 6–3 decision to the Nordiques (who went on to win all of 12 games that year). Inexplicably, with the Islanders and Penguins also taking late-season dives, the Flyers were still alive for the final playoff spot in the division.
A 5–3 home win over Pittsburgh on March 22 got the team within one point of fourth, but they limped to the end of the schedule with an 0–3–2 record. A 6–2 road loss to the Islanders on March 31 eliminated them from the postseason.
It marked the first time in franchise history that the team finished in last place in any division since its 1967 inception.
Among the bright spots, Tocchet led the team with 37 goals and 96 points. Seven players scored 20-or-more goals. Kerr was limited to 40 games but managed 24 goals and 48 points.
General managerBob Clarke,having been with the Flyers organization since he was drafted in 1969, was fired on April 16.[4]
