Flyers v. Canadiens

Yes i agree that it much more enjoyable hockey when they dont fight. I do enjoy a good one too but its a bit much when the whole team gets involved. I looked at some Youtubes of fights and I would have to say that Ron Hextall and Patrick Roy were pretty bad when it came to fighting. I think they had their own anger management issues going on there. They fought hard and they fought to injury. I dont like injuries as that is going too far. My Senators and your Flyers had a brawl in 2006. Do you remember that one?

Hey, Don't forget the Flyers Dave Shultz of the late 70's. Didn't they call him, "The Hammer"?

The name doesnt ring a bell for me Bob so I looked him up. Yes, he was nicknamed the Hammer for his aggressive style of hockey. He is actually a Canadian boy raised in Saskatchewan and was described as a shy boy growing up. Ha! that changed when he became a professional hockey player. Heck, hockey was a very agressive sport back in the 70's and he played for the Flyers which were known as the Broad Street Bullies. I remember the Montreal Canadiens were also very agressive back then. It was seen as a man's game and they played rough. I wonder looking back if they were on some sort of steroids. The fights were brutal and they got hurt. I am glad we dont see that level of violence anymore.:)
