@YaBoyCoots The end of the era of Flyer's greatness that started in the 1973 Stanley Cup playoffs including 6 appearances in the finals and 2 championships. The Spectrum was an arena like no other past or present.
@YaBoyCoots Rick MacLeish great money player in any sport: 1974 Stanley Cup winning goal v Bruins after clean win of draw to DuPont, assist on Dupont goal sending Game 2 to OT setting up Clarke goal, unassisted OT goal v Dryden in Game 1 of 1973 semi-finals...
@Berger_BYTES The "all-star defenseman" first slashed and sucker punched MacLeish. MacLeish rarely got as incensed as we saw here. He was no slouch with his fists and would have pummeled Park. In Game 7, "all-star" Park was on ice as Schultz beat Rolfe for more than 5 minutes and did nada.
@JBNYSports@NYRangers Look forward to more 1974 OTD in @NYRangers history covering their 3-4 series loss to the Flyers in the semi-final round. Please include poor Dale Rolfe getting his ass kicked by Dave Schultz in Game 7.

@oldhockeycards Bobby Clarke, just 23 years old, emerged as a great player and he was elevated to 2nd line center with Toronto's Henderson and Ellis when the series switched to Moscow.
@jimcramer Called his own plays down on one knee in the huddle, super-fast release, no QB then or since threw a better ball: touch, pure spiral, always on time and in the right spot. Jurgensen to McDonald (Eagles) and to Charley Taylor (Redskins) was magical.

@Philsbirdsthrow In that year, the NFL avoided playing the championship game on a Sunday because it was Christmas Day. In 2025, the NFL intentionally schedules 3 regular season games on Christmas Day.
