Ron Hextall made history in many ways. First off, he was the first grandson of a former NHLer to lace up in the league. He was the first Goalie to score a Goal and not because he was credited with one but because his shot went into the net. He was the first Goalie to accrue 100 Penalty Minutes in a season. All of that is impressive enough, but we haven’t even discussed that rookie season.
Simon Gagne would spend the majority of his National Hockey League career with the Philadelphia Flyers, and he would score 535 of his career 601 Points with the team.
Rick MacLeish spent the 1970s with the Philadelphia Flyers, where he parlayed his slick wrist shot and two-way play to complement the Broad Street Bullies. Early in his career, he had a 50 Goal and 50 Assist season for an even 100 Point campaign, all of which were career highs. While he was a little unique in having his best offensive season early in his career, he still maintained high production over his Flyers career with three more 90 Point seasons.
Third all-time in franchise history in Points (849) and Points per Game (1.07) was the offensive star for the Philadelphia Flyers throughout the 1980s. The Left Winger would have four seasons of 90 or more Points, but was also adept at checking and the defensive aspect of the game. He would go to four All-Star Games, had a tenth-place finish in Hart Trophy balloting in 1986, and was second overall in Playoff Scoring in 1987 when he took Philadelphia to the Stanley Cup and pushed the Edmonton Oilers to a seven-game series.
