the new teams were hampered by restrictive rules that kept all major talent with the "original six" teams. in the nhl expansion draft, most of the players available were either aging veterans or career minor-leaguers before expansion occurred. among the flyers' 20 selections were bernie parent, doug favell, bill sutherland, ed van impe, joe watson, lou angotti, leon rochefort and gary dornhoefer. having purchased the minor-league quebec aces, the team had a distinctly francophone flavor in its early years, with parent, rochefort, andre lacroix, serge bernier, jean-guy gendron, simon nolet and rosaire paiement among others. beginning play in 1967–68, the philadelphia flyers made their debut on october 11, 1967, losing 5–1 on the road to the california seals. they won their first game a week later, defeating the st. louis blues on the road, 2–1. the flyers made their home debut in front of a crowd of 7,812, shutting-out their intrastate rivals, the pittsburgh penguins, 1–0 on october 19. lou angotti was named the first captain in flyers history, while rochefort was the flyers' top goal scorer after netting a total of 21 goals. with all six expansion teams grouped into the same division, the flyers were able to win the division with a sub-.500 record despite being forced to play their last seven home games on the road due to a storm blowing parts of the spectrum's roof off. however, playoff success did not come so quickly, as the flyers were upset by st. louis in a first round, seven-game series.
