Jim, I can't say it was any worse or any better then those incidents you mentioned with one exception. What Schultz did was part of the way the Flyers played....

Hi Everybody and Happy New Year: I think the obsession with the Schultz-Rolfe fight is because it was in the deciding game of the playoffs and on national TV....
I know the purists hate to admit it (and I am kind of purist) but the fact is that the average NHL game does not feature an Orr, Gretsky, LaFluer or any...
Hi Jim, I grew up absolutely hating the Flyers. And I watched them and rooted against them every chance I could. Let me bring up Game 6 of the 1980 Finals,...
... At least baseball was nominally "two leagues". The current NHL is still supposedly one league and with an 82 game schedule still can't figure out how to...
