1971–72 Philadelphia Flyers season

The 1971–72 Philadelphia Flyers season was the Philadelphia Flyers' 5th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Flyers finished 5th in the West Division and did not qualify for the playoffs.
==Regular Season==
Bobby Clarke continued to progress as he led the team in goals (35), assists (46), and points (81) in 1971–72 and he became the first Flyer to win an NHL award, the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. 
However, in the season's final game, the Flyers needed a win or a tie against the second-year Buffalo Sabres to beat out the Pittsburgh Penguins for the final playoff spot. The score was tied late in the game, but with just four seconds on the clock, former Flyer Gerry Meehan took a shot from 80 feet away that somehow eluded Flyers goalie Doug Favell.FlyersHistory.net, Philadelphia-Buffalo boxscore from April 2, 1972. The Flyers lost the tiebreaker to Pittsburgh and missed out on the playoffs for the second time in three years.
