Talk:History of the Philadelphia Flyers

Memorable Moments
I think the old Memorable Moments section which was in the main article a month ago would be helpful in expanding this article. I'm not saying we should go crazy and add too much detail (like on this date Bobby Clarke played his first game), but I figured it would be beneficial. --Sparkhurst 21:04, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Interesting. --Sparkhurst 16:40, 1 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree, but please don't use the one with all of the additional "not so memorable moments". The one that was trimmed down to around 5 items. Briememory 01:16, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I was using the last version that was updated before I went and deleted that section. The reason I looked at it while going through all the sections to this page was so I could make sure nothing important was overlooked. I'm guessing someone put a lot of time into that deceased section, so might as well make some use of it. With that said, it was neglected that the word memorable appears in that title shortly after I had created it. Going through it up until around 2000, 2001, there was a lot of fluff to be ignored, but there were some useful things in it. --Sparkhurst 03:44, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

1999-2000
It is improper to list it as 1999-00. In an edit I said, "PLEASE LEAVE IT as 1999-2000, as it isn't 1999-1900 as is implied with 1999-00." Perhaps this is an exaggeration; I think most people might assume that 00 means 2000. Nevertheless, when have you ever heard someone refer to that particular season as 1999-00 or 99-00? It is usually referred to in its full form, 1999-2000, or 99-2000 for short. Perhaps it is typed as such, but it is never said like that. I think the use of 1999-00 shouldn't be changed where it is illogical to do so (see Flyers team standings), but in the article itself I think 1999-2000, the proper form, should be utilized. --Sparkhurst 03:44, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Deuces Wild???
Where does this line kickname come from? I watched the vast majority of the Flyers games last season and read most articles published in the Inquirer, yet I've never heard of it. ccwaters 12:40, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Flyers.com Panaccio Fish Gormley calls it the Deuces Are Wild for some reason. --24.115.13.169 15:55, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok. Guess I missed it. Thanks. ccwaters 15:57, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Pictures
This article could use a few more pictures. I have a few ideas. --Sparkhurst 05:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The Pravda cartoon is a must though I'm not sure of the copyright on it.
 * I figure a picture showing the long hockey pants of the early 80's would be of some use since the Flyers were the first and one of only two teams to wear them.
 * A picture of the black jersey from 1997-98.
 * Stanley Cup pictures, perhaps from the parades since the article doesn't mention them.
 * A picture from this undecided preseason game would be interesting.
 * Kate Smith, since the article doesn't mention her and since most people seem to put value in her impact on the team.
 * Clarke from his rookie season...

NHL Uniforms.com on the long pants:
 * For the 1981-82 season, the Philadelphia Flyers introduced the decade's most radical idea -- long pants, as modeled here by Brian Propp. The idea behind the new pants, manufactured by Cooper under the name Cooperall, was to create a faster, lighter uniform, with lighter padding underneath. The pants did make the skaters faster; unfortunately, they were also faster whenever they took a spill and would crash very hard into the boards. The Hartford Whalers joined the Flyers in wearing long pants the following season. At the end of the 1982-83 season, the NHL outlawed the long pants, causing both the Flyers and the Whalers to revert back to the old faithful, time-tested short pants.

1989-90
Dave Poulin stripped of captaincy in December 1989? I thought Poulin ceased to be captain, upon his trade to Boston. GoodDay 00:43, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Poulin was stripped of captaincy. It occured December 15th, 1989. Found this out on the Hockeydraftcentral site. GoodDay 00:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Merge with Philadelphia Flyers and various Flyers season pages?
Should this article be merged with Philadelphia Flyers? It seems redundant since there is an article for each Flyers season, especially since each Flyers season contains the same paragraph (or two or three) that is seen here... only more in depth for a few of them. --Flyer16 (talk) 13:45, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
