Fans love great goal scorers—the players who make goalies hold their breath and opposing defensemen back up in anticipation of their next scoring chance.

The Philadelphia Flyers have had some great snipers since they entered the NHL in 1967. Here is a look at the five greatest in franchise history.

Keep in mind that these are not necessarily the five players who have the most goals in Flyers history. Being a sniper is a particular kind of player who is considered dangerous when he's on the ice and a consistently high goal scorer.

How long a player was with Philadelphia and how many outstanding seasons they had are also taken into consideration when compiling this list.

Feel free to comment on any player on this list or to mention anybody you feel deserves to be here but was omitted. As always, state why you feel your candidate belongs among the top five.
