45-Years Ago today marks a huge line brawl in Philadelphia Flyers history
Today marks the 45th anniversary of an iconic moment in Philadelphia Flyers history. On April 6th, 1978, the Flyers faced off against the New York Rangers in a game that would go down in NHL infamy. At the 15:38 mark in the second period, a brawl erupted, resulting in a total of 88 penalty minutes being handed out on the play alone. To put that into perspective, only six penalty minutes were issued for the rest of the game.
This historic moment took place at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and has since become known as the "Fueled by Philly" game. It's a reminder of the physicality and intensity that the Flyers were known for during their early years, and it's a moment that continues to be celebrated by fans of the team.
