In 2016, they made it to the Stanley Cup playoffs. In 2010, they faced off in the Stanley Cup finals. The last time they won the Cup? 1975. Who else could I be referring to than the Broadstreet Bullies- better known as the Philadelphia Flyers. I was a Flyers fan by birth, and continue to be a diehard fan by choice. I'll admit, they're not the best in the National Hockey League. To emphasize this, here's a list of 36 things that have happened since the Flyers last hoisted the Stanley Cup.
