Le 11 janvier 1976, les Flyers de Philadelphie et le CSKA Moscou de l’Union soviétique sont entrés sur la glace lors du dernier match de la tournée « Super Series » soviétique contre certaines des équipes les plus anciennes et les plus performantes de la LNH. Bien qu’ils aient rencontré peu de résistance pendant la majeure partie de la série, la rencontre de l’équipe de l’Armée rouge avec les champions en titre consécutifs de la Coupe Stanley serait la plus difficile. Avec toutes les équipes de la LNH et le monde entier du hockey qui regardent, les « Broadstreet Bullies » ont joué l’un de leurs matchs les plus grands et les plus mémorables de l’histoire de la franchise. C’est l’histoire du jeu Philadelphia Flyers-Red Army… Devenez mécène ici : https://www.patreon.com/OddManRush Twitter : https://twitter.com/OddManRushYT N’hésitez pas à aimer, à vous abonner, à partager ou regardez certaines de mes autres vidéos et merci beaucoup d’avoir regardé !

The simpsons we're right lol. 😂
Every Canadian was a Flyers fan that day.
The narrator correctly credits the Flyer's win to coach Fred Shero. Shero had studied Soviet hockey for years before the 75/76 series was planned, and he executed that plan flawlessly against the Soviets. #15, Terry Crisp, also should get credit for this win. The strategy was to forecheck the Soviets in front of the blue line, preventing them from their comfort zone, controlling the puck in the offensive zone until a scoring opportunity happened.
The narrator lays on the 'bullies' theme in superficial, stereotypical hyperbolic fashion. But it was sound hockey that beat the Soviets, and that Red Army team wouldn't have won a game against Philadelphia even in a seven-game series, because Shero's plan undid everything the Soviets were trained to do on the ice.
The NHL treated the late-60s expansion teams like dirt, and resented the Flyers for being the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup. But the Flyers ultimately had more HoF players on that team than did the Bruins, and the Soviets hadn't faced that talent level before.
I like how they showed that the soviets had a winning record against the NHL, but left out that during that time when they played the USSR would only play if they played by soviet rules. They didn't play official NHL rules, and every time they did, they lost. Literally, not even a single win. They left crying every time. Leave it to YouTubers to wank a country that died decades ago. My favorite game was when my Penguins beat them 4-1 with backups and bitchy non NHL rules. Show the times NHL players broke the Soviets through the glass. I loved it
They learned the hard how they got the nickname "broadstreet bullies"
Been told before by better
@Odd Man Rush I Have The Flyers Soviet Union Game on DVD and I’ve Been a Flyers Fan Since 1995!
Not just Flyers but the entire Canadian (or American, whatever) side – players, referees and so on – exposed themselves as a bunch of miserable scumbags.
I saw the Russians in Pittsburgh in 1985. It ended in a 3-3 tie. No OT period was played. Mario against Soviets.
really lame
Yeah, the Flyers had Dave Shultz to to police the bad guys; but you dint know what your talking about “a bunch of goons”. Watch the Bruins during that era. The Flyers had a lot of talent, just look at the roster. They had two 50 goal scorers in Reggie Leach and Rick Macleash. Bobby Clark was 100 pt. man year after year.They had a handful of guys that were 20-30 goal men. The biggest thing, the Flyers were relentless forecheckers, and of course, BERNIE PARENT and BOBBY CLARK.
“They're going home! They're going home! Yeah, they're going home!”
i waited close to 10 yrs to see the soviets get the shit smashed out of them
Wish they were still good
I remember when that team photo was in the Phila Inquirer and I taped it to my bedroom wall. Loved them Broad Street Bullies!
Bring on the Martians!
There was some doubt after Montreal but none after the Bully’s. The Canadiens matched them stride for stride, the Bully’s moped the floor with them. There was no doubt the NHL was better
That hit by Van Impe was clean
I was at this game as part of my season Tix package I had from 1969-1986 Amazing game experience
Canada vs the soviets
the Soviets also lost at Winnipeg as Bobby Hull took command in 1975
What is it about Canadians that once they put on the Orange and Black a Broad Street Bully is born?
I’m a huge Flyers fan and while I was too young to remember this happening, the lore makes it as though I were at the game. However I do remember the game from 1981 where the Flyers had a damn good team and were completely dominated by the Soviets. (Final score of 5-1 I think)One of the best teams I’ve ever seen and a Cold War slap to our American faces.
Unfortunately in your Flyers team picture, missing was the eventual winning goalie, Wayne Stephenson. Bernie Parent was dealing with a neck injury most of that season. And LOL, at 4:30 the picture on Pravda showing the cavemen Flyers holding clubs over the poor Russians. Kind of rich coming from a country that kept it's citizens behind walls with machine guns who would shoot anyone trying to escape. 5:22 LOL, ticket price, $9. 12:23 the old Philadelphia Bulletin and an article by the late, great Jim Barniak. Good find! The other Bulletin article you showed written by Jay Greenberg, Greenberg covered the Flyers for about 15 years before moving on to Sports Illustrated and the NY Post. Unfortunately he passed away this past August. And not mentioned that many of the Soviet players were on the Soviet national team when they lost to the Americans at the 1980 Olympics.
Oh, and to correct, Bob Cole wasn't a Flyers broadcaster. The Flyers broadcast team in those days were Gene Hart and Don Earle and for this game it was Gene Hart and Marv Albert as the game was broadcast on NBC. Also, the line about Joe Watson setting Soviet hockey back 25 years was because Watson, a great defenseman, wasn't known for his scoring prowess(1975-76 he scored 2 goals).
Na na naaa, na na na naaa, hhhey don't fuck with Philly! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IoyvvEWHodk
The absolute pinnacle of Flyers hockey. I was 15 and I remember it like it was yesterday.
The broad street bullies. A great team.
HEY FUTIN!!!!!!! GET THE PUCK OUT OF UKRAINE!!!!!!

As a Flyers fan, this is a great piece of history. Thank you! And, btw, we really are a friendly bunch in Philly. Come here any time and we'll show you around! 💚
I'll bet the people of Ukraine would love to watch this hockey game right now.
