The 1970–71 Philadelphia Flyers season was the Philadelphia Flyers' 4th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Flyers finished 3rd in the West Division and lost in the Quarter-finals to the Chicago Black Hawks 4 games to 0.

Regular Season[]

Bobby Clarke suffered no sophomore slump as he led the team in goals (27), assists (36), and points (63) in 1970–71. He was, however, held scoreless in the playoffs as the Flyers were swept in four games by the Chicago Black Hawks in the first round. Even though the team had improved their record in his second season behind the bench, head coach Vic Stasiuk was replaced by Fred Shero in the off-season.
