Le meilleur club de hockey de l’Union soviétique, le CSKA Moscou (connu sous le nom d’Armée rouge), était resté invaincu en trois matchs contre les Rangers de New York, les Canadiens de Montréal et les Bruins de Boston. Mais le 11 janvier 1976, ils rencontrèrent leur rival nord-américain : les doubles champions de la Coupe Stanley, les Flyers de Philadelphie (alias les Broad Street Bullies). Dans cette vidéo, nous examinerons comment les Flyers ont réussi non seulement à battre le tant vanté club de l’Armée rouge, mais aussi à le dominer dans toutes ses facettes.

Thoroughly enjoyed this look back at that series. I remember that was the one and only time I pulled for the Flyers… or Bruins.
The 3-3 New Years Eve game against Montreal was probably the best pure skill hockey game I've ever seen.
Image if Canada's best players played together their entire career like the Soviets, how unbeatable they would have been. The NHL is definitely playing a more European/Soviet style of hockey these days. It is Don Cherry's worst nightmare!
Excellent job Nick. All of these series in the 70s,(and there were a few of them), were riveting for me as a kid. It was like aliens had landed. Always had a soft spot for the Czechs during these series. This one was pretty fun but, the game at the forum boy…you knew you were watching hockey history as it was happening
How about a 72 summit series video?
My favorite non NHL game of all time is the finals of the 1996 world cup of hockey. The series shouldve been easily won by canada, but the USA put up an incredible fight and ended up taking the championship.
interesting story
my favorite game of all time is the 2022 world juniors gold game, most intense overtime of all time
The Soviets were disliked, but respected in nearly all NHL arenas. Not so in Philly. The Flyers HATED the Soviets, and everything they represented. Absolutely despised them and had no respect for them whatsoever.
It really boiled down to national pride and chauvinism, and by extension, democracy vs. totalitarianism. Keep in mind, this was a team composed entirely of Canadian players. In fact, the 1975 Flyers team was the last all-Canadian team to win a Stanley Cup.
Shero, Snider, Clarke & Co. took these games vs. the Soviets extremely personally, and in hindsight, I doubt anyone blamed them.
This wasn’t just the peak of The Bullies. It was concurrently the peak/ close to it for The Red Army Team; I think a good chunk of their roster from that night night also went to Lake Placid in ‘80. In “Miracle”, Coach Brooks, played by Kurt Russell said that beating the soviets means the players have to stand up to them, not just find a way to take the game the full 60 minutes.
Either the 2010 Olympics Gold Medal game, or Game 8 of the '72 Summit Series.
Never knew the Flyers coach was Russian, fascinating! Love the history videos, you have a true knack for story telling my friend.
Thank you for properly explaining what happened in Full!
Nicely done nick
3 game series 1987 canada cup final
awesome job nick keep up the great work
I remember seeing a documentary of this game years back. Ed van Impe said something to the effect of "He ran into my elbow with his chin". I don't think that russian player was faking lol. But hey, I wasn't alive to see that game.
Thank you for this!
I was born in 73 15 minutes from center city Philly in the suburbs.I’ve been a flyers fan my entire life .sad I was to young too remember any of there teams until 1980..my mother took me to both parades and a week after they won there second cup my parents took me too see the Ringling brothers circus and sat next to Bernie Parent ..they have pictures of me as a baby with Bernie holding me like the Stanley cup..lol I guarantee my dad and him had a couple drinks that night
Gold medal game. Sweden vs. Finland.
2006 Torino.
200'× 100' Olympic sized sheet of ice.
Smokin' & drinking Jim Beam sours for breakfast watching at a picturesque lake house in Bigfork, MN (Iron Range)
No congestion, lots of gorgeous passing, a real feast for the eyes.
2003 MN High school Hockey Tournament.
Public school / blue collar town (Anoka) with a handful of rink rats from my neighborhood won the whole thing .
Lots of quick release, flexed shaft, wristers, (influenced by Gaborik) playing pickup boot hockey games sith them, all night after their hours long, outdoor practices.
(I was the warming house attendant with keys to the lights)
Seeing them upset all the open enrollment, all-star, heavily scouted, snooty rich kid schools and skate the trophy around was the most fun I've ever had watching sports.
The golden goal. Enough said
I was way too young for this game, but my favorite game was, & still is, The Miracle on Ice, the first game that I actually remember watching. Eurizione's goal still gives me chills, I was bouncing off my couch & all over my living room screaming at the top of my lungs, & all Michael's "Do you believe in miracles? YES!!" is still the best sports comment imo. All things considered going into the matchup, to me it's the greatest moment in US sports history.
Clark, and the Flyers of that era, were, and always will be a complete disgrace to the game of hockey. While Clarke was a skilled player, there is no excuse for his disgusting slash to the ankle of Kharlamov's ankle. He should have been suspended for at least one season, if not more. Goons.
You're not going to call a penalty so we'll leave . What pansies
Thank you for doing this video on my Flyers 😅
For me, it's the Miracle on Ice. The highlight of US hockey history.
They lost the ‘72 summit series.
Philly vs Red Army was a classic contest but nothing beats the 72 8 game series. That series had everything and in the end Canada rose up against unbelievable odds and just refused to be beaten. I still get chills when I review what those guys did.
As a semi new hockey fan I love to find videos of the old hockey so I can learn about the game’s history. Thank you go sir.
one moment in Canadian men hockey history the 2010 Vancouver team winning gold
Despicable by the Flyers. Soviets just trying to play hockey out there.
One of my fave games winter Olympics in Vancouver gold metal game
The CSKA was the most intimidating team in the world until a little visit to Philly
Great video. Earned a sub here. Merry Christmas
One time I was a Flyers fan from Boston. Flyers were awesome that game.
4 years later and the miracle on ice. ❤
Canadian wolves in sheep's clothing. The Russian's got pummeled by not so polite Canadian hockey players wearing the hockey jersey of an American team. There's good reason why Canada and the US are good friends and share the longest undefended border in the world. We are very much like minded nations.
In today's world, they would be ostracized for bullying and the media would turn against them
When the Soviets brought club teams over to play NHL teams they always added all star players from other Soviet teams, yes even the Red Army team that was loaded with National team players was bolstered.If they sent over 2 teams you can be asured they sent the best 44 players.
The series was won. The last match didn't mean anything. Loktev left Petrov, Zhluktov, and Tsygankov in reserve for him. When he was persuaded to return the team, he gave the installation: "Just finish the match without injury, I don't care about the score." The NHL descended to open banditry and was punished. In the following seasons, the best players visited only with the WHA clubs. With great difficulty, Ziegler managed to invite Soviets Wings twice in 1977/78 and 1978/79. Both series were also won by the Soviets, and the Flyers barely equalized in the 1979 match.
I have no love for the commies, but don’t glorify the Flyers from the 70’s. they were a bunch of goons and played incredibly dirty hockey. At the time, the sentiment was different, but looking back, it’s frankly embarrassing. Look at the 72 series. Who took the most egregious penalty? Clarke with his 2 handed chop. How does any fan actually cheer for that?
None NHL favorite game of all time is probably Sweden vs Finland from 2003 when Finland had a 5-1 lead after half the game, Sweden makes a goalie change and comes back to win 6-5.
I never dug the way those Flyer cats played….Peace !
Go Flyers!!!!
This was a disgrace seeing Flyers bullied the Russian, knowing that nobody will retaliate. Montreal kicked their ass later in stanley cup séries.
I have watched that game Flyers- Soviets and the series with the soviets in 1976 against the NHL teams and the Red Army was not better than the Montreal Canadians at that time but Tretiak made a huge difference to tied the game! The Flyers were also very talented but also Fred Shero knew how to beat them! They just played their style of hockey against the Red Army but the Red Army was not able to change their way of playing and adapt to it! The Flyers played what we called today the Trap that game, blocking the center! Fred Shero was a genius!
Remember in 1976 Flyers against Montreal, Flyers missed Bernie Parent in the goal and also Rick McLeish a brilliant player! Montreal won the series in 4 games, but only one goal difference in every one of the four games! The Flyers were very talented, like the Montreal Canadians! I was delighted to see the Flyers playing against the Red Army and giving them a lesson!
Bobby Clarke despise the Russians from the 1972 series and for very good reasons! The Russians were delioyals, using all kind of tactics against the Canadian team, especially during the four games in Moscow! But, as the series was coming to a close, the superiority of the Canadian players was more and more obvious, despite Tretiak performance who was the reason why the Russians were able to compete!
The Flyers subscribed to the old adage, "If you can't beat them in the alley, you can't beat them on the ice!" a quote from Conn Smythe. After the Soviets returned, they barely touched the puck as they were in fear of being hit again. If the NHL was smart, and they weren't, they would've used this method every time they played them in the future.
The game against Montreal was the greatest game ever played. Although the game against the flyers wasn't a great game, it certainty sent a message.
Mario Tremblay said in a tv show thw back then when Montreal Camadiens go play in Philadelphia you can not make like todays players when the puck where in the corner with the head down . Tremblay said if you make that there in the 70's you be dead. he said after that the good way was to cross check in the teeth when he want to kill you in the corner.
I loved the bulls they played all three periods. It's nice to get your moneyes worth.
Hmm, I want to say… Game 2 of the ‘79 Challenge Cup. Watching this because I’m very interested in the Soviet hockey system – and props to you for pronouncing the Russians’ names correctly! ❤
