‘Uninvited’ Flyers release hype video to ignite fans before Stanley Cup playoffs

The Philadelphia Flyers are back in the Stanley Cup playoffs after a five-year absence.

The team finished third in the Eastern Conference’s Metropolitan Division with 98 points, 22 more than last season. Philadelphia will face the in-state rival Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round, which begins this weekend.

On Thursday, April 16, the franchise posted a hype video, entitled “Ignite the Orange,” on X to get the Flyers faithful ready for the postseason.

“Uninvited. Unapologetic. Ignited. #IgniteTheOrange,” said the caption.

Former Flyer Brian “Boosh” Boucher narrates the video, which features highlights from the team’s most recent trip to the Stanley Cup Final in 2010.

“You can still feel it,” Boucher said in the voice-over. “The games where every shift mattered. The nights the building shook, a sea of orange. Where Flyers playoff hockey wasn’t just entertainment. It was an experience. It was an identity. You never forget that. You must miss it.”

Boucher played six years for Philadelphia in three different stints. In fact, he was the goaltender for the 2009-10 team, which finished 47-23-12 and defeated the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern Conference Final. Ultimately, the Flyers fell in six games to the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Final.

The Flyers own two Stanley Cups but haven’t won one since 1975.

Philadelphia fell on hard times soon after the 2010 playoff run. The Flyers advanced past the first round of the playoffs just once since 2012-13.
