You're welcome, Stanley Cup Champions.

​

The Flyers have not won the Stanley Cup for 50+ years, but, like a good farm club, they have sure done an excellent job supplying talent to the teams that have.

​

Believe it or not, 14 of the last 20 Stanley Cup champions have featured one or more former Flyers players in the lineup (and within a couple of weeks, it will be 15 out of 21):

This year's Finals feature former Flyers aplenty.

 

The Hurricanes have 5 ex-Flyer players - Sean Burke, Nic Deslauriers, Shayne Gostisbehere, Tanner Laczynski, and Sean Walker - as well as head coach Rod Brind'Amour.

​

The Knights have ex-Flyer Carter Hart, as well as head coach John Tortorella.

​

Unfortunately, the Flyers' knack for parting with championship talent extends to the 76ers as well. Ex-Sixers Mikal Bridges and Landry Shamet are heading to the NBA Finals with the Knicks, and they will be going up against ex-Sixer Julian Champagnie of the Spurs.
