Has there even been a fight in the playoffs yet? Broad Street Bullies they are not.

Stanley Cup Champions? We have yet to find out (hoping they beat Chicago myself).

They are neither of the options posted in the OP.

The Broad Street Bullies were legendary for what they did. This Philly team isn't the same.

^ See above.

Had a chance to watch some videos and those guys were just nuts. No one is like that anymore led alone this Flyers team. Awesome stuff.

Hartnell had the Flyers only playoff fight. While they had a good amount of middle-weights all season, they rarely dressed Cote (their heavyweight). There were one of the tougher teams, but I did enjoy watching Orr run wild against them all season.

That 70's team was nowhere near the toughest in league history, but for their time, they were tougher than any other team relative to their era.

No team in the mid 70's even came close to the Flyers style of playing and their amount of fighting majors. That's what separated them from the rest of the pack, namely how far ahead of their time they were.

Teams in the future tried to adopt their bullying tactics, but by then, fighting had become more common in hockey, with teams frequently carrying multiple enforcers on the roster.
