1969–70 Philadelphia Flyers season
Encyclopedia
The 1969–70 Philadelphia Flyers
season was the Philadelphia Flyers' third
season
in the National Hockey League
(NHL).
The Flyers took a chance when they selected a 19-year-old diabetic from Flin Flon, Manitoba named Bobby Clarke
with their second draft pick, 17th overall, in the 1969 NHL Amateur Draft
. By the time training camp came around it was clear that Clarke was the best player on the team, and he quickly became a fan favorite. His 15 goals and 31 assists earned him a trip to the NHL All-Star Game. Despite his arrival, the team struggled in 1969–70 recording a franchise worst (as of completion of the 2009–10 season
) in wins (17). Even with such a bad output, the Flyers had a seven-point lead on the Oakland Seals with six games to play. However, the Flyers lost their last six games and Oakland made up the deficit. They lost the tiebreaker for the final playoff spot to Oakland, missing the playoffs for the first time.
