Broad Street Bullies Take Cup in 1974

[@JHockeyFan]

You should do a separate video on the Scouts, Barons, and Rockies. Since you did one for the Golden Seals, it would be interesting to see a feature on failed franchises.

[@richcerasale8909]

that would be a good video

[@FalseCredential]

I'd love to see a video about the careers of Bobby Clarke and Bill Barber!

[@rickyaz8640]

These Philly teams were probably more responsible for the cultural cachet of hockey in the US than anything up to Gretzky

[@rickyaz8640]

This was also the Peter Puck era. So Schultz, Saleski and Kelly would bloody the ice just before the PP segment during the first intermission 😉. Simpler times

[@PrestigeSteeler]

Flyers need to bring another cup to philly when Carter Hart comes. We are getting so talented with great prospects. I swear I hate when everyone says HA HA YOU HAVEN’T WON A CUP SINCE 75

[@thesuperostrich]

Prestige steeler I feel the same way

[@CMench26]

Aw come on, it’s fun!!

[@peterlananna3999]

I don’t say that, mostly because I was in elementary school the last time my team won the Cup.

[@PrestigeSteeler]

Colin 226 I know it’s just when my devils and rangers friends always use the fact we haven’t won a cup since 75 as a scapegoat to an argument I’m winning

[@johnnycto7576]

I don't see it happening, sorry buddy.

[@patch8376]

It's AM hours here, so good morning!

What really helped the Caps out was when they brought in Bryan Murray as head coach and when they made the trade with Montreal in the early 80's that brought in Rod Langway, (also Doug Jarvis, Brian Engblom, and Craig Laughlin). They learned how to play defense and was also when they started making the playoffs consistently, in spite of all the playoff frustration they had. Langway was a big part of setting that team culture. And while Ovechkin is the most important player in team history, there may not have been a Capitals team had it not been for Langway.

[@SamayelIam]

I was 9 years old at this time, and a lifelong bruins fan by then (a hater of Montreal). And while it pained me greatly to watch my beloved Bruins succumb to the bruising flyers juggernaut ... hard thereupon, i was "rick macliesh" or "reggie leach" when i lived out my NHL fantasies on the streets :) and while I had ALWAYS been Gerry Cheevers, now i was Bernie Parent when i donned the baseball glove and foamies. The brick wall was real! lol

[@tim_nj_devil176]

I would like to see a video on Boston for “The Don Cherry Years”.

[@michaelsaunders334]

This is a great series of videos that I started at from the beginning. A couple of the years seem to not be here but great nonetheless

[@SverigeiSverige]

Börje Salming & Inge Hammarström! 👍

[@jacobeberhardt1649]

I've been waiting for this.

[@Christisrisen77]

Top 20 wingers

[@SquoteTV]

Incredibly Yvon Labre's No. 7 was retired by the Caps in the early 1980s mainly because he was just a captain and "around" for several years. What beginnings.

[@jjhrkel]

I wish I saw a Philly game during that era. Amazing!

[@joeclayton2121]

i was 13 when that era started i saw a lot of those games. when we won the first cup we watched the parade on TV in class, i was in 7th grade the Broad Street Bullies were the best team ever

[@smartluck100]

It was wild! Went to many games at the Spectrum during that era! Got to admit, went there to wait for the fights. Blood on the ice. It was incredible! Sadly, moved to Atlanta a few years later where the pathetic city lost not one, but two “professional” ( The Atlanta Flames weren’t bad) hockey teams!

[@PancakesAndHammers2426]

Greg Holly Joly XD Good Christmas name. Jolly is actually how I feel about seeing Washington in this series. Despite...you know...the god awful start. I would love to see KC back, but not so likely.

[@LegionOfEclaires]

For a brief time, they were the best. Everyone remembers them as a team of goons but they often forget that they had some really talented players on the team...

[@CMench26]

I do feel bad for Ed Snider. He probably figured he would be seeing a ton of Cup wins after getting 2 so quickly.

[@September2004]

I feel like draft stuff should be for the year following. 1974 draft should be talked about for the 1974-75 season so one can talk about who was drafted that season and may have also made a big splash that season.

[@ozy75]

Told so much better than Brian McFarlane's 100 Years of Hockey (and for those of you too young to know of this book, McFarlane was the biographer of hockey in North America for years). I better understand the role of the Dino Ciccarelli or Marty McSorley in the late 80's/early 90's after that graphic description of the Flyer's penalty minutes.

[@MrSandman730]

We want Taro!!

[@patch8376]

Sandman730 Tsujimoto was so unreal!!

[@samson2848]

Go Flyers Go

[@fightsports66]

How about a video about the merger between the Minnesota North Stars and Cleveland Barons ?

[@SverigeiSverige]

Denis Potvin had 17-37-54 (not 71P).

[@HabsGeorge]

1974 this is the year Ken Dryden sat out to study to be a lawyer. lol Really hurt the Habs. Who would miss a whole year to finish a law degree?

[@dovidrotenberg4690]

Parent skipped to the WHA in 1972-73 from the Toronto Maple Leafs. When he wished to return to the NHL for the 73-74 season his then wife refused to return to Toronto. So Ballard and company (Jim Gregory GM) had no choice. Doug Favell had a fair record.

[@chaosrookie3231]

Kinda sad that Tim Horton passing away wasn't mentioned :(

[@TheOptimusGamer1]

Id love to see you rank the worst number 1 draft picks

[@jobckts682]

Flyers threw Kate Smith under the bus. To please Twitter tribe. Never forgive.

[@karlcooper7016]

Did Perent ever play against Dryden at anytime?Aside from not facing him in the 76 finals.

[@c71score]

For those that hate the Penguins, tune into this series tomorrow.

[@JoeyJordison97]

😊

[@romainlavoie1526]

One of the worst trades in the history of the NHL. The Leafs in trading Parent - had just handed the Cup to the Flyers.

[@DAcheekO]

1st time an non og 6 team won

[@jigzjood]

and then you had the Bauer Philadelphia skate ... me thinks lol

[@kod8933]

Finally

[@downthestretch565]

Shinkaruk trade

[@PrestigeSteeler]

Ok can you settle an argument? My friend keeps saying Ove is the best scorer ever because goalies back then were much worse and of course I said hell no Gretzky is and will always the the best scorer. Do you think goalies being “worse” is a valid argument

[@MrProvincial]

While Gretzky is much better overall, when it comes to pure goalscoring, Ovechkin is better. You can make a solid case for Mike Bossy being the best goalscorer of all time, though.

[@fentonhardy8176]

Or Bobby Hull, Hull Played in a Low Scoring Ear and was the Best Goal Scorer and Left Winger of them All.

[@Lebby-lc9co]

If only Boston didn’t suck in Philly’s building

[@philly5-014]

THE HAMMER WAS A LEGEND.AND PARENT AND BARBER DIDNT PLAY IN 1976 CUP FINAL,PARENT GOT AN EYE INJURY,I OTHERWISE PHILLY WOULDVE WON THIRD STRAIGHT CUP.THREE GAMES WENT TO OT.AND PARENT WOULDVE WON THAT SERIES ON HIS OWN.BACK TO BACK CONN SMYTHE LEGENDARY STATUS.

[@SverigeiSverige]

ADONIS LEONIDAS FLYERS/EAGLES/76ers Barber played, but not Rick Mac.

[@VirtualWillE]

that poor caps lock key.. so much mental/physical abuse

[@richardvargo2740]

How are overtime wins less impressive than regulation wins if you're the goaltender?

[@death2america282]

1st view lol good vid

[@adamwest4926]

could you like skip tomorrows history vid and just jump to 1976?.... please!

[@rickyaz8640]

Adam West and miss the 🦇 game! Hope THG wears a Batman mask for that one

[@buffalomafia7162]

Adam West I vote skip

[@jjhrkel]

Do not skip.
