The Flyers missed the playoffs for the first time since 1972, and only the third time in franchise history. Regular season The 1989–90 season was one of the most turbulent in franchise history. Goaltender Ron Hextall had to sit out the first 12-games of the schedule, sentenced after cementing his folk-hero status in the city by crowning Chris Chelios in 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 Howe and others with the team atop the weakened Patrick Division after a win in Montreal just before Christmas. Little used Tony Horacek posted 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 cost Dave Poulin his captaincy on December 15,http://articles.philly.com/1989-12-16/sports/26159708_1_captain-paul-holmgren-brian-propp https://web.archive.org/web/20141222101227/http://articles.philly.com/1989-12-16/sports/26159708_1_captain-paul-holmgren-brian-propp dead December 22, 2014 Sutter Takes The Ice As Captain Of Flyers The Philadelphia Inquirer Al Morganti December 16, 1989 December 20, 2014 then forced his trade to Boston for former Flyer Ken Linseman.http://flyers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=435529 https://web.archive.org/web/20120324001859/http://flyers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=435529 dead March 24, 2012 Flyers Heroes of the Past: Dave Poulin Philadelphia Flyers Bill Meltzer November 22, 2006 August 6, 2014 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-up Pete Peeters had 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 referee Kevin Maguire. Following an inspired win in Calgary on March 1, Propp was traded to the Bruins, and a four-goal game by Mark Messier in 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 manager Bob Clarke, having been with the Flyers organization since he was drafted in 1969, was fired on April 16.https://www.nytimes.com/1990/04/17/sports/sports-people-hockey-flyers-dismiss-clarke.html SPORTS PEOPLE: HOCKEY;
