Simon Gagne has been around Philadelphia long enough to understand how much Flyers fans love and appreciate their favorite teams.

He still hears stories about the 1974 and 1975 Stanley Cup teams, tales told as if the Flyers had won the Cup recently, not three decades ago.

This, however, is a season best forgotten.

"It's not fun when your name is part of this season," Gagne said. "It's a disappointing year for everybody."

Disappointing barely scratches the ice. This year's Flyers have a more offending label: the worst team in their 40-year history.

Never have the Flyers had a season like this one. They were the worst team in the NHL (22-48-12), missed the playoffs for the first time since 1994 and set team records for most losses and fewest points (56).

Once-proud Flyers suffered through worst season in 40 years

The Flyers have a lot of cap space next year, so they ahve the potential to really improve next season.

I'm very interested in seeing what they do to change things.
