Philadelphia Flyers Feb 07 Midseason Update

The team’s 40th year anniversary season started even in a more disappointing way than the previous one. The Flyers lost seven games out of eight. After that, Bob Clarke decided to resign as General Manager, and head coach Ken Hitchcock was fired. Assistant GM Paul Holmgren became the new General Manager of the club.

The 2006-07 Flyers set several franchise records during the first months of the season. They included the worst record a season start and the longest home losing streak (6 games). A franchise worst ten-game losing streak finally ended with a victory over Tampa Bay Lightning on December 28, 2006.
