1976–77 Philadelphia Flyers season



The 1976–77 Philadelphia Flyers season was the Philadelphia Flyers' 10th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Flyers finished 1st in the Patrick Division and lost in the Semi-finals to the Boston Bruins 4 games to 0.

Regular Season
Dethroned, the heyday of the Broad Street Bullies came to an end, as prior to the 1976–77 season, tough-guy Dave Schultz was traded to the Los Angeles Kings. Despite a slight drop-off in performance, the Flyers dominated the Patrick Division with what proved to be their 4th straight division title. After disposing of Toronto &mdash; after which series Toronto coach Red Kelly claimed "I don't think I'd call [Bobby] Clarke dirty &mdash; mean is a better word" &mdash; in six games, the Flyers found themselves in the semifinals for the fifth consecutive season. Pitted against Boston, the Flyers lost Games 1 and 2 at home in overtime and would not return home as they were swept in four straight games.
