Aside from the 4-1 thrashing the Flyers delivered. That's one thing people forget about the Bullies...they had talent and could score. Not every game was a demolition derby. Indeed, Clarke's 1974 OT goal against the Bruins was made possible by a heads-up play by Schultz to steal the puck away and make a centering pass to Cowboy Flett who then passed it to Clarke. BOOM!
Yes...the Flyers were hated not just because they were smashmouth rude, but because they creamed all the original 6 teams! That bias continues today...although the Flyers are soon to become beloved because they dispatched Kate Smith’s statue! HOW DARE she say God Bless America! See tagline
