1993–94 Philadelphia Flyers season
Encyclopedia
The 1993–94 Philadelphia Flyers season was the Philadelphia Flyers
27th season in the National Hockey League
(NHL). For the fifth consecutive season, the Flyers failed to make the playoffs.
For 1993–94, Terry Simpson
was hired as the new head coach in hopes that the Flyers would finally return to playoff contention after four consecutive off-years. Jay Snider stepped down as President, forcing his father Ed Snider
to take over day-to-day operations. Craig Hartsburg
and Mike Eaves
were hired as assistant coaches. Simpson named Kevin Dineen captain, and made Lindros an alternate captain to groom him for a leadership role. Mark Recchi
would record 107 points (40 goals, 67 assists) and Eric Lindros
97 (44 goals, 53 assists). Rod Brind'Amour
improved with another 97 (35 goals, 62 assists) and Mikael Renberg
set a Flyers rookie record with 82 points. Philadelphia had the best shooting percentage of all 26 teams, scoring 294 goals on only 2,409 shots (12.2%). Offense was generated as the Flyers had four 30-goal scorers for the second-straight season and averaged 3.5 goals per game, but they still failed to clinch a playoff berth, again falling four points short of the final playoff spot. After the season, the elder Snider had decided he had seen enough of Russ Farwell
as GM, and began courting Bob Clarke to leave his GM post with the Florida Panthers
to return to Philadelphia. Farwell's last move as GM was firing Simpson after a lackluster season.
