This is a must have for any self proclaimed Flyers fan! - I can still recall those 2 cup winning years, and to relive and see again the likes of Bobby Clarke, "Cowboy" Bill Flett, Moose Dupont, Rick Macleish, The Watson Brothers...... and the list goes on. As for the opposition, included are Bobby Orr, and a rookie by the name of Ray Bourque- I was also surprised to see how many of the great players had a stint with the New York Rangers at some point.
In addition to the 2 cup winning years, there is a great blend of awesome games from over the years which shows a great cross section of Flyers' Teams, and it is evident that their game plan and approach to defense/forchecking etc. has remained consistent throughout their existence since 1967. I had forgotten about (didn't see the game at the time) their 5 overtime period historic marathon against the Jaromir Jagr led Pittsburgh Penguins a few years back.
You won't be dissappointed with this treasure set for sure!!

5 Stars...but some big games missing
Feb 22 2007

I'll give this five stars for the general concept, and I'm certainly happy to see these games again. But I disagree with some of the game selections.
First, only four of the ten games are home games (and only three at the old Spectrum). There was a special magic of Spectrum games.
Second and related...there were other games that really could have been added instead:
- Game 6 of the Conference finals against Quebec, in May of 1985, when Dave Poulin scored a shorthanded goal while the Flyers were two men short. The Spectrum EXPLODED when Poulin beat Mario Gosselin high to the glove side. Flyers won this game 3-0 to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals
- Game 5 of the Conference finals against Boston, in May of 1976, when Reggie Leach scored 5 goals at the Spectrum.
There are a few others I could mention, but those are the two biggest, and certainly could have been chosen over some of the more recent road games. I see there's a new DVD coming out in April on the history of the Flyers - hopefully it will cover some of these classic moments.

I am a young Flyers fan, so getting to see some of the classic games in their entirety is great. It also gives a glimpse in how the game has evolved over the decades.
