THIS DATE IN FLYERS HISTORY
February 27, 1982: Flyers 9 at Calgary 8
Brad Marsh scored the GWG with 5:11 remaining in the Flyers' 9-8 win at Calgary. It was Marsh's first goal with his new team and came against the franchise which traded him three months earlier. Brian Propp (2-0-2) scored twice in the first 1:58 to give Philly a 2-0 lead but an eventual 3-0 advantage was equalled at the 16:20 mark. The score was 4-4 after one period. In the second period, each team scored three times and the game was deadlocked 7-7 through two periods.
Kent Nilsson (4-1-5) gave the Flames an 8-7 lead with his fourth goal but 18 seconds later Tom Gorence evened it yet again. Philly led by scores of 3-0, 3-1, 3-2, 4-3, 6-5 and 9-8. The game had tied scores of 0-0, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7 and 8-8. Calgary led 5-4, 7-6 and 8-7. Tim Kerr (1-3-4), Ken Linseman (1-3-4) and Ray Allison (0-3-3) had 3+ points for the Flyers. In addition to Nilsson (5 points, 9 shots), Gary McAdam (2-0-2) and Paul Reinhart (1-2-3) spurred Calgary.
Of the 17 goals scored, 16 came at even-strength. There was a total of just seven minor infractions and five powerplays. Calgary outshot Philly 42-35. Pete Peeters made 34 saves for the Flyers while Pat Riggin made 26 saves for the Flames.
Three days after requesting a trade due to a recent string of healthy scratches under head coach Pat Quinn, Reggie Leach returned to the Flyers' lineup and played in the next 11 games through mid-March; however, after Quinn was fired, Leach was scratched for the first two games under new coach Bob McCammon and then waived March 24th.

I cannot wait until Gagne scores a thousand goals tomorrow. This is the most excited I have been for a player debut on the Flyers in a long time. Last time I was this excited was Briere's debut.

Barring any travel issues, he should be in Philadelphia as he was scheduled to take the red-eye out of Los Angeles. He mentioned playing in the game.

Gagne will get plenty of playing time with the Flyers, who are a little bereft of forward depth with injuries to Matt Read (torn rib muscles) and Tye McGinn (fractured orbital bone).

Why move Schenn back to wing when he never really played well there and has been really good at center?

From the article:
The question will be, will coach Peter Laviolette have Briere center Gagne and Simmonds or Brayden Schenn?
I interpret that as: Gagne-Briere-Simmonds or Gagne-Schenn-Simmonds then Fedotenko-Briere/Schenn-Knuble.

Hopefully, with Gagne's return, the energy in the building will get the boys off to a good start. They need to feed off it.

Fedotenko Briere Knuble would be a train wreck of uselessness of biblical proportions

I am a fan of Briere and think he is a great player. I think he is much better at center. The problem is the Flyers still have too many centers even after trading Richards and Carter. Giroux, Schenn, Briere, Couturier all really should be playing center.

I really do feel bad for Couturier. There is no one helping him offensively on that line.
