The 1984–85 Philadelphia Flyers season was the franchise's 18th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Flyers reached the Stanley Cup Final but lost in five games to the Edmonton Oilers.
Off-season
Bobby Clarke's first move as general manager was hiring Mike Keenan as head coach.https://www.mcall.com/1984/05/25/flyers-name-mike-keenan-as-head-coach/ Flyers Name Mike Keenan As Head Coach The Morning Call Dan Shope May 25, 1984 December 8, 2014 December 13, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141213140257/http://articles.mcall.com/1984-05-25/sports/2413418_1_coach-keenan-coach-freddy-shero-mike-keenan live Second-year player Dave Poulin was named team captain.Kerr's Late Goal Gives Flyers Tie https://www.mcall.com/1984/10/12/kerrs-late-goal-gives-flyers-tie/ The Morning Call Dan Shope October 12, 1984 December 20, 2014 December 20, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141220211540/http://articles.mcall.com/1984-10-12/sports/2449615_1_bernie-parent-flyers-president-jay-snider-red-wings live
Regular season
On October 18 they tied a franchise record for most goals in one game, after a 13–2 rout of the Vancouver Canucks at the Spectrum. They recorded another 10-plus goal contest on March 10 against Pittsburgh, crushing the Penguins 11–4. In addition, the team snapped the Edmonton Oilers' then NHL record 12–0–3 unbeaten streak to start the year with a 7–5 win on November 11. Four days later, they paid tribute to the recently retired Bobby Clarke on Bobby Clarke Night with a 6–1 win over the Hartford Whalers.
Although the club got off to a hot 16–4–4 start, they faltered in December, losing four straight games and five of six prior to Christmas. With the team's slate of games thin throughout January, the Washington Capitals surged to the top of the Patrick Division although the Flyers kept winning consistently.
After trailing the division-leading Capitals by 11 points in early February, the Flyers clinched the division title on March 28 and finished 12 points ahead of Washington, reeling off an incredible 24–4–0 record after February 9. The game that kicked off the stretch, on February 9 at the Capital Centre, saw Tim Kerr score four goals but Brian Propp won it, 5–4, with two seconds remaining in regulation. The club set a franchise record with 11 straight wins from March 5–24.
One season before the Presidents' Trophy was created to reward the NHL club with the most points, the Flyers finished the season with 113, four ahead of eventual Cup champion Edmonton. They also recorded their second-highest single-season goal total (tied with 1975–76, and two fewer than the previous season) and allowed the third-fewest goals behind Washington and Buffalo.
Twice during the season two players recorded hat tricks in the same game. Propp and Ilkka Sinisalo turned the trick in the Vancouver rout, while Poulin and Kerr teamed up for six goals in a wild 9–6 win over Washington on March 7.
Goaltender Pelle Lindbergh, who led the league with 40 wins, won the Vezina Trophy.

The Flyers rolled through the playoffs by sweeping the New York Rangers in three games, defeating the New York Islanders in five, and beating the Quebec Nordiques in six to return to the Stanley Cup Final. Though they defeated the defending champion Edmonton Oilers in game one by a score of 4–1 at home, Edmonton won the next four games and the series.
