Philadelphia Flyers: All-Decade 3-on-3 teams

You’re the head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1970s, 80s, 90s and 2000s.

You get to pick three skaters — two forwards and one defenseman — to get your the team the victory in the 3-on-3 overtime format.

This was a question that was posed to me by a reader the other day and one I’ve seen floating around various message boards and social media networks.

That got me thinking.

Without further ado, continue to scroll through to see what I’d choose broken down by decade.

    Great, great job here guys. Cool topic, obvious a lot of work was put into this piece. However…… I must take exception to one of your teams. This guy is always overlooked, he is / was THE BEST all-around player to ever wear the orange and black but never gets his just do from the fans and media. Below is just part of his glowing resume:

    Integral part of power play for years
    Even more valuable as a penalty killer
    Could skate with the best of them
    A certified sniper
    Outstanding defensively
    All time team rank:
    Games played- 2
    Goals scored – 1
    Assists – 3
    Points – 2
    Power play goals – 2
    Shorthand end goals – 2
    Captain of the team a couple of years
    Won Calder Cup as Head Coach
    STILL THE ALL TIME LEADER IN GOALS SCORED

    The 2000 team was garbage.

    Gotta go Roenick and Recchi on the forwards and Joni Pitkanen on the D.

    We’re halfway through the second decade of the 2000s, so you’re unfairly comparing the 15+ years of this century to the earlier decades. Also, hella slow Tim Kerr would be a nightmare on 3-on-3.
