The 1980–81 Philadelphia Flyers season was the Flyers' 14th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). After finishing second in the Patrick Division, the Flyers lost in the quarterfinals to the Calgary Flames in seven games.

Regular season

[edit]

Bobby Clarke wore the number 16 throughout his entire NHL career except for two games during the 1980–81 season.[2] Prior to a road game on February 27, 1981,[3] Clarke's jersey was stolen.[2] Clarke wore the only other jersey available, number 36,[2] in the next two games.[3][4] A month later, Clarke hit a personal milestone in memorable fashion. On March 19 during a game against the Boston Bruins, a Reggie Leach slapshot struck Clarke.[5] After leaving the ice, he re-appeared moments later stitched up and with his jersey covered in blood.[5] 31 seconds into the third period Clarke beat Bruins goalie Marco Baron for his 19th goal of the season[6] and his 1,000th career point.[5]

Among the team records set during the 1980–81 season was Bobby Clarke tying the team record for goals in a single period (3) on December 13.[14] The team's 2,621 penalty minutes during the regular season is a franchise record.[15] During their preliminary round series against the Quebec Nordiques, the two shorthanded goals scored during game two tied a team record.[16] Seven seconds into game four Terry Murray scored the fastest goal from the start of a playoff game in team history.[17]

A number of team records were set or tied during game four of their quarterfinal series against the Calgary Flames, most notably setting a team record for most goals during a playoff game (9).[18] Their five goals during the first period (5) is also tied for the team record.[19] Ken Linseman tied team records for most assists in a playoff game (4) and period (3).[20][21] Their 9–4 victory in the game ended a team record seven game playoff road losing streak dating back to May 17, 1980.[22]
