In the early 1990s, the Philadelphia Flyers went through a rebuild, focusing their plans around the 1991 first overall pick, Eric Lindros. After some team improvement in the first two stellar years of his career, the team found the right personnel to make everything click and they reached new heights in the 1994-95 season, winning the Atlantic Division to claim a playoff berth. After being named the MVP of that year, Lindros had another strong campaign with 115 points the next season. The Flyers’ efforts paid off the most in 1996-1997. Lindros led the league with 26 playoff points (12 goals and 14 assists) as Philadelphia flew through the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Flyers captain helped lead the team to 4-1 series wins in each of the first three series to earn them a spot on the sport’s highest stage: the Stanley Cup Finals. The franchise had a complete turnaround in the 1990s and Lindros can take credit for helping lead the way. This run was a defining moment in the center’s career, and he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2016 as a result.
