The St. Louis Blues beat up the Flyers badly in a few games in the late 1960s, leading Ed Snyder to bulk up with players like Dave Schultz, Don Saleski, Bob Kelly, and Moose DuPont.

In the 1974 Cup finals, the Flyers lost Game 1 but beat the Bruins 3-2 in Overtime in Game 2 in Boston.

In the 2019 Cup finals, the Blues lost Game 1 but beat the Bruins 3-2 in Overtime in Game 2 in Boston.

Big talk for the team that just got their 1st Stanley cup win ever...

And after only 14 attempts in 52 years...

When the series moved to the Spectrum, Flyers fans had signs such as “Hit Orr, he’s human”. It worked.

This Bruins team isn't the powerhouse that the 1974 team was, although that team's power was waning as they lost to the Flyers. Blues have been a good road team in these playoffs, but their home performances have been uneven. Wouldn't surprise me if the series is knotted at 2 after these next two games, then it becomes a best-of-3. Should be interesting.

The Broad Street Bullies — the only time I’ve ever been proud to live near Philadelphia. Their beating up the Russians is one of the greatest moments in American sports. We bought a color TV so we could watch the Flyers.

The call by Gene Hart and Don Earle.

Gene Hart was the greatest play-by-play radio announcer EVER. Bar none.

Spent many, many hours glued to the radio listening to him paint the vivid pictures of every movement of the players and puck.
