The Flyers Make History And Reflect On History...

They made history last night by coming out of an NHL-season high 11-game road trip with an 8-2-1 record:

The Flyers finished their franchise record trip with an 8-2-1 record, setting a new NHL mark for the most wins on a single stretch of games away from home. Their 17 points on the trip is also a new league record, far surpassing the old mark of 13 points set by the 1968-69 Montreal Canadiens.

As far as reflecting on history goes, 30 years ago, the defending Stanley Cup champion Flyers took on the Central Red Army hockey team from the Soviet Union and became the first team to defeat them.

People often forget that 4 years before the "Miracle On Ice", the Flyers stared the Russian hockey menace in the face and beat their asses, 4-1...
