10 Best Performances/Games in Philadelphia Flyers History

10. Tim Kerr was a Flyers shooting machine

Tim Kerr, a winger for the Philadelphia Flyers for 11 seasons, is a name many during the 1980s can’t forget. Ranked seventh in NHL history for goals scored per game, Kerr only stopped playing when injuries overtook him and he needed to end his time on the ice.

Kerr had a rough go of his first four seasons with Flyers, having three knee injuries and a broken leg. Yet the pain didn’t stop and and Kerr persisted through the injuries to become a legend. He was a dynamite defensemen and would take a stick to anyone in his way, even after he scored a goal. He scored 370 goals in 655 career games and at 6 foot, three inches and 225 pounds, he was a formidable player to deal with on the ice. Kerr was unstoppable the closer he got to the net and that helped him in one of his biggest moments.

One of his most significant moments came for Kerr during a playoff game in 1985 against the New York Rangers.  Kerr scored four goals against then Ranger goalie Glen Hanlon. His first goal tied the game and scored his next three goals in quick fashion, racking up four goals in eight minutes and 16 seconds. It was something that hadn’t been seen in the NHL and would solidify his place as a top winger for the Flyers.
