The Flyers defeated the Bruins 4–1 in 1976, but the Bruins took the next two semifinal series (4–0 in 1977, 4–1 in 1978). The Flyers and Bruins during these years lost the Stanley Cup to the <a href="/wiki/Montreal_Canadiens" title="Montreal Canadiens">Montreal Canadiens</a>. In the <a href="/wiki/1979-80_NHL_season" class="mw-redirect" title="1979-80 NHL season">1979–80 season</a>, the Flyers were on a mission to set sports' all-time unbeaten streak, and had to beat or tie the Bruins at the Garden to break the record held by the Montreal Canadiens at 28 games. Despite the Bruins being geared up, the Flyers dominated the Bruins to win 5–2 and break the record. The Flyers went unbeaten for 35 games, a record that has yet to be broken.<sup id="cite_ref-oldflyers_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-oldflyers-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="21st_century">21st century</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bruins%E2%80%93Flyers_rivalry&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: 21st century"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/2009%E2%80%9310_Philadelphia_Flyers_season#Eastern_Conference_semifinals" title="2009–10 Philadelphia Flyers season">2009–10 Philadelphia Flyers season § Eastern Conference semifinals</a>, and <a href="/wiki/2010%E2%80%9311_Boston_Bruins_season" title="2010–11 Boston Bruins season">2010–11 Boston Bruins season</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:2010_winter_classic_pregame.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/2010_winter_classic_pregame.jpg/220px-2010_winter_classic_pregame.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="195" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/2010_winter_classic_pregame.jpg/330px-2010_winter_classic_pregame.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/2010_winter_classic_pregame.jpg/440px-2010_winter_classic_pregame.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1703" data-file-height="1511" /></a><figcaption>Legends <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Orr" title="Bobby Orr">Bobby Orr</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Clarke" title="Bobby Clarke">Bobby Clarke</a> at the ceremonial puck drop prior to the <a href="/wiki/2010_NHL_Winter_Classic" title="2010 NHL Winter Classic">2010 NHL Winter Classic</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>Although both teams remained competitive during the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, the Bruins and Flyers did not meet again in the playoffs until <a href="/wiki/2010_Stanley_Cup_playoffs" title="2010 Stanley Cup playoffs">2010 Eastern Conference Semifinals</a>.

The lead did not last long though, as Bruins forwards <a href="/wiki/Blake_Wheeler" title="Blake Wheeler">Blake Wheeler</a> and <a href="/wiki/Miroslav_%C5%A0atan" title="Miroslav Šatan">Miroslav Satan</a> answered in quick succession, 1:34 apart and less than two minutes after Asham's goal, to take the lead. The Flyers were unable to score again and with a lackluster third period by Philadelphia, the game ended in a 4–1 Bruins victory. During the game Mike Richards broke the arm of Bruins center <a href="/wiki/David_Krej%C4%8D%C3%AD" title="David Krejčí">David Krejci</a> in a large open ice hit, knocking Krejci out for the rest of the series.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On the brink of a quick elimination, Flyers star <a href="/wiki/Simon_Gagn%C3%A9" title="Simon Gagné">Simon Gagne</a> returned for game four, which turned into a bizarre mirror version of the first game of the series.

With the Flyers leading late, Bruins forward (and former Flyers superstar) <a href="/wiki/Mark_Recchi" title="Mark Recchi">Mark Recchi</a> tied it with 20 seconds left in the game.

The Bruins jumped to a 3–0 lead in the first period. Two of the goals came on the power play due to infractions for high-sticking on <a href="/wiki/Scott_Hartnell" title="Scott Hartnell">Scott Hartnell</a> and Daniel Briere, respectively. This prompted head coach <a href="/wiki/Peter_Laviolette" title="Peter Laviolette">Peter Laviolette</a> to use up his timeout to rally the team.

The second period was all Flyers, as Hartnell and Briere redeemed themselves by scoring a goal each to tie the game up at 3–3. Overall, the game was relatively low on penalties, with only six minors being called total, but the last one of those, a bench penalty for too many men on the ice, came to haunt Boston, as Simon Gagne put the puck in the net for a 4–3 Flyers lead. The Flyers were able to hold on to it and become only the third team in NHL history, the fourth team in the big four American professional sports leagues, to comeback from an 3–0 deficit of games to win that playoff series.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Flyers played in the <a href="/wiki/2010_Stanley_Cup_Finals" title="2010 Stanley Cup Finals">2010 Stanley Cup Finals</a>, falling to the <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Blackhawks" title="Chicago Blackhawks">Chicago Blackhawks</a> four games to two. </p><p>The two teams met again in the <a href="/wiki/2011_Stanley_Cup_playoffs" title="2011 Stanley Cup playoffs">2011 Eastern Conference semifinals</a>.
