Philadelphia Flyers 1987 Tribute

This video aired after Game 7 of the 1987 Stanley Cup Finals between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Edmonton Oilers. The song is "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us" by Jefferson Starship and it was the original music for the video, not added by me.

corny song indeed. however, this is the original edit from the original broadcast. so don't blame me for the "gay" song champ.

The Flyers probably should have been the NHL champions that year...this song goin on in the background makes me wish they'd have won it..lol.

oh man does this take me back. This team, this series, is my earliest memory in hockey. I still remember Anderson scoring that goal and Gene Hart's great commentary to close out the series. I miss the Spectrum. It may not have the glitz of the Wachovia Center, but it was a much better hockey atmosphere. GO FLYERS!!!

Incredible. My (ex-) wife, Andi, made this video, She spent hours and hours on it, and when they lost, she assumed everyone had turned the game off. Thanks for posting it.

Flyers showed a lot of Heart in 1987 going all the way to Stanley Cup Finals before losing to Wayne Gretzky and Edmonton.

Young Hextall and young Tocchet, great team, nothing going to stop us now except an amazing young Oiler team. See Hextall and Nilsson shake hands was this before or after Hextall chopped him down with his stick?

@TheHolloway1983 Except the Bruins had future HOFers (unlike the '87 Flyers), and Tim Kerr didn't play in the Stanley Cup Finals because of an injury. So no, they were not stacked. If you were looking at a roster from that season, it would appear so. They played an Oilers team that blew by their competition in the playoffs and were healthy. Meanwhile, the Flyers played 3 long series before facing the Oilers and were missing their leading scorer (Kerr). Oh, and they had a rookie in net. Booyah.

RON HEXTALL!!! Young Ron Hextall...pre groin injury Ron Hextall...was the greatest goaltender that I have ever seen.

The music selection for this montage should be used as an example of why the 80s sucked AND were awesome at the same time. A mind-blowing concept, I know.

I used to watch this everyday after the Flyers lost the Cup to the Oilers. I was 11 and haven't seen it since then. Great upload!
