1978–79 Philadelphia Flyers season

The 1978–79 Philadelphia Flyers season was the Philadelphia Flyers' 12th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Flyers finished 2nd in the Patrick Division and lost in the Quarter-finals to the New York Rangers 4 games to 1.
==Regular Season==
Bob McCammon, who had just coached the Flyers' first year AHL Maine Mariners farm club to a Calder Cup title, replaced Fred Shero behind the bench, but after a slow start the Flyers brought up Shero's previous assistant coach, Pat Quinn, who was then guiding the Mariners to replace McCammon who then returned and coached the AHL club to a second consecutive Calder Cup title. The Flyers rallied under Quinn and finished in 2nd place. However, it was during the 1978–79 season that Bernie Parent suffered a career-ending eye injury. Matched-up against the Vancouver Canucks in the preliminary round, the Flyers won the series in three games. The Flyers' season came to an end against Shero's Rangers in a five-game quarterfinal loss.
