Flyers' Finals Scoring: 1985 & 1987

The Flyers' Finals scoring stats vs. Oilers in 1985 & 1987

One of our younger followers, seeing that the Flyers were in Edmonton Thursday, asked how the clubs' scoring looked in the Stanley Cup Finals losses to the Oilers in 1985 and 1987. Below are the cumulative totals for the 12 games.

Thanks to flyershistory.com, where you can find summaries for every playoff game in Flyers history.

Notable:

♦ Tim Kerr, who had battled bad knee ligament problems throughout the 1985 postseason, lasted only three games in the Finals and missed the entire 1987 Oilers showdown with a separated shoulder.

♦ Only nine Flyers appeared in all 12 Finals games those seasons. Thirty different Flyers appeared in at least one of those Finals games.

♦ The Flyers' four game-winning goals came off the sticks of Rick Tocchet, Ron Sutter, Brad McCrimmon and J.J. Daigneault.

♦ The Oilers outscored the Flyers, 20-8, in the first period of the 12 games, including 10-2 in the 1987 opening stanzas.
