The Flyers reached the Stanley Cup Final for the third consecutive year, but they lost to the Montreal Canadiens in a four-game sweep. Regular season The Flyers recorded the best record in team history (points wise) with a record of 51–13–16 in 1975–76. They also tied the record set by the 1929–30 Boston Bruins for most consecutive home ice wins, with 20.Whereas the 1975–76 Flyers won all 20 at home in regulation, in the early days, teams have to win in regulation or overtime for it to count in the winning streak. Notably, 1929–30 Boston Bruins won 20 at home (18 in regulation). Now, current rules state a winning streak is wins in any manner. Most notably, the 2011–12 Detroit Red Wings, who are the current NHL record holders with 23 consecutive home wins, won only 19 in regulation (one in overtime and three in shootouts).Staff Writer Looking at the Record https://www.nhl.com/flyers/news/looking-at-the-record/c-616466 https://web.archive.org/web/20230417171555/https://www.nhl.com/flyers/news/looking-at-the-record/c-616466 dead April 17, 2023 2023-04-17 NHL.com Dadoun Ryan 2012-02-13 How does Detroit's 20-game home winning streak measure up? https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2012/02/12/how-does-detroits-20-game-home-winning-streak-measure-up/ 2023-04-17 ProHockeyTalk NBC Sports Sapunka Jason Detroit Red Wings Home Win Streak Not Better Than 1975-1976 Philadelphia Flyers https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1067690-detroit-red-wings-home-win-streak-not-better-than-1975-1976-philadelphia-flyers 2023-04-17 Bleacher Report Weldon Scott Detroit Red Wings Have Not Set an NHL Record for Home Wins https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1066893-detroit-red-wings-have-not-set-an-nhl-record-for-home-wins 2023-04-17 Bleacher Report Stepneski Mark 2012-02-14 Stars face a stiff test in Detroit on Tuesday https://www.espn.com/blog/dallas/stars/post/_/id/16226/stars-face-a-stiff-test-in-detroit-tuesday 2023-04-17 ESPN.com The 1975–76 Flyers continue to hold the all-time records for most regulation wins at homePrior to the 2011–12 Red Wings, one other team won at least 20 home games, this being the 1929–30 Boston Bruins (20 home wins, 18 in regulation). The LCB line, featuring Reggie Leach at right-wing, Bobby Clarke at center, and Bill Barber at left-wing, set an NHL record for goals by a single line with 141 (Leach 61, Clarke 30, Barber 50). Clarke, on his way to a third Hart Trophy, set a club record for points in one season with 119. The highlight of the season had no bearing on the season standings. On January 11 at the Spectrum, the Flyers, as part of the Super Series '76, played a memorable exhibition game against the Soviet Union's dominant Central Red Army team. As the Bullies had put intimidation to good use the past three years, the Flyers' rugged style of play led the Soviets to leave the ice midway through the first period, protesting a hit by Ed Van Impe on Valeri Kharlamov (whom Clarke had slashed on the ankle in the famous Summit Series '72). After some delay, the Soviets returned after they were warned that they would lose their salary for the entire series. The Flyers went on to win the game rather easily, 4–1, and were the only team to defeat the Red Army outright in the series. Head coach Fred Shero would proclaim, "Yes we are world champions. If they had won, they would have been world champions. We beat the hell out of a machine."http://www.flyershistory.net/cgi-bin/hm.cgi?006hm Flyers History – Historic Moments November 18, 2013 Flyers History P. Anson Season standings PHI Record vs. opponents PHI Playoffs Heading into the playoffs, the Flyers squeaked past Toronto in seven games and defeated Boston in five games, game five featuring a five-goal outburst by Leach, the Riverton Rifle, to head to a third straight appearance in the Stanley Cup Final. However, the Flyers didn't come close to a third straight championship, as they ran into an up-and-coming dynasty in Montreal, and were swept in four straight games. Despite the loss, Leach was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy for scoring 19 goals in 16 playoff games.
