The1978–79 Philadelphia Flyers season was thePhiladelphia Flyers'12th season in theNational Hockey League (NHL).

Off-season

[edit]

Head coach Fred Shero, who had one more year left on his contract, submitted a letter of resignation on May 22, 1978,^[2] stating that the Flyers needed a change whether they realized it or not. Flyers management had previously heard rumors about Shero wanting to leave Philadelphia and re-join theNew York Rangers organization, and refused to accept his letter of resignation.^[3] Shero then signed a $250,000, five-year contract with the Rangers to be their new head coach andgeneral manager, believing he no longer had a contractual agreement to the Flyers.^[4] A few weeks after signing Shero, the Rangers gave the Flyers their first-round pick (7th overall) in the1978 draft and cash as compensation, allowing the Rangers to avoid tampering charges.^[3]Bob McCammon, who had just coached the Flyers' first yearAmerican Hockey League Maine Mariners farm club to aCalder Cup title, was named Shero's replacement on July 6.^[5]

The Flyers acquired the 6th overall pick from thePittsburgh Penguins for three veterans from theirStanley Cup championship teams –Tom Bladon,Orest Kindrachuk andRoss Lonsberry – on the eve of the draft. The trade gave the Flyers three first-round picks and they selected defensemanBehn Wilson and forwardsKen Linseman andDan Lucas.

Two other longtime Flyers also left the team during the off-season.Gary Dornhoefer retired andJoe Watson was traded to theColorado Rockies.

Regular season

[edit]

After an eight-game winless streak in January that saw the team drop to last place in the division, McCammon and assistant coachTerry Crisp were fired.^[6] Replacing him was Shero's previous assistant coachPat Quinn, who had replaced McCammon as head coach in Maine.^[6] While McCammon returned to Maine and coached the Mariners to a second consecutive Calder Cup title, the Flyers rallied under Quinn and finished in 2nd place.

On February 17, 1979,Bernie Parent suffered a career-ending eye injury in a game against theNew York Rangers.^[7] An errant stick entered the right eye hole of hismask, causing permanent damage to his vision.^[7] After hospitalization, including the complete loss of sight for two weeks, Parent recovered and eventually regained sight, although not at the level required to resume his playing career.^[7]
