Classic Sports Card of The Day

27 Apr

1974 Opeechee hockey card of the king of the “Broad Street Bullies” Philadelphia Flyer teams of the 1970s – Dave “The Hammer” Schultz. He was a major intimidator in an era when the Flyers won back-to-back Stanley Cups with a physical style of hockey never seen before. Schultz epitomized the term “enforcer” in his career, and holds the league record for most penalty minutes in a season with 472. Despite being mostly remembered as the ultimate NHL “goon”, Schultz scored 20 goals in the Flyers’ ’73-74 Cup-winning season, and also once scored a first round series- clinching goal against the Flames.
