I have this game on DVD collection of the Philadelphia Flyers 10 greatest games . I saw this game live on NBC when I was 17 years old back in 1974 and I never get tired of watching it today . Hearing Kate Smith sing God Bless America gives me chills !

Bobby Orr the master of consistency. Beautiful to watch.

Kate Smith ,what a singer! She played that role Perfect,,what an inspiration for the team and fans in that arena,,and the nation,I would go as far to say she was part of the reason the Flyers even came close to 2 Stanley cups,,,,,,I mean,, ultimately winning twice.

That was the GREATEST Game Ever.

Was in 8th grade at St Richards in South Philly ! We were having our May Procession and the 8th grade was in Cap And Gown ! I hid a bag in the churches rest room and had my T-shirt and shorts under it ! I went to the rest room as soon as we marched into the church ! Took off my cap and gown and snuck out the side door and ran to the Spectrum sneaking in the side door in Lee of the police on horses and got in just as Kate Smith started singing! I would have gotten in a lot of trouble but the Flyers won the cup ! I was on the Ice and the city went wild !

Legends going head to head doesn't get any better than this

Gilles Gilbert never got the recognition he truly deserves. A true Boston Bruins. One of the best. However. What Bernie accomplished during these 3 years including the year the Flyers lost to the Canadiens is stuff of legends. To this day I'm wondering how things would have played out in 76 if Rick McLeish one of the most talented players in the league at the time and Bernard Parent the leagues primary goalie if they would have been healthy 🤔🤔🤔

I'll never forget this. I remember it like yesterday.

They can say what they want but i'd rather watch this series and era before what's on TV nowadays.!!!

I watched this game on TV. Afterward I drove 140 miles to St. Paul and the next day started a 40 year career on the railroad. Good memories. A lot of class shown by Booby Orr and Phil Esposito stopping to shake Kate Smith’s hand.

the intensity of this game is unbelievable. from an old Hab fan.

I grew up in Levittown, Yellowood (the Delaware valley)20 min from Philly, I was 13 when I watched that game. after the Flyers won street hockey ruled for the next 4 years or so. I played almost every day in the winter after school. back then cars were made of metal and an errant shot wouldn't hurt the car..

I have to admit, I went searching for this specific hockey game, and I'm glad I found it. The family missed this game because it was on a Sunday, and nobody wanted to drive to Philly from Boston, and then drive back to Beantown. Always enjoyed the Dave Schultz/Terry O'Reilly spats. This game was a little bit different, I would gauge it as the best hockey playoff game of all time, even though the Bruins lost. I am still haunted by the announcer, "Save! Parent!....Save! Parent!" ...and to think, Bernie Parent used to be a Boston Bruin. Thank You so much for having this video!!!!

RIP Rick MacLeish - multiple 50 goal scorer...big playoff points in this '74 championship season as well as the '75 repeat. WE loved him in the Philly area.

what a great era with great memories

This is my all time favorite game. I liked Bobby Clarke and the Flyers but was more of a Bobby Orr fan. Heartbroke that day but the Flyers were great

I have always considered Bobby Clarke the most intense hockey player ever, almost as if he willed the result. I did watch that game in 74 and wanted Boston to win it.

I'll tell you, if it wasn't for the greatness of Bernie, it might have been a Bruins Stanley Cup that year. Great game! I was 4 when this happened! LOL

Thank You Jacques Plante for Teaching Bernie Parent your Goaltending Techniques!

I have a video about the Flyers. Never won in the Garden until the playoffs. The 2 teams where physical. Hit hard. Fought hard. And some good figjts between the 2 teams. Flyers stood up to Bostons tough guys. Bobby Clarke. Was the heart and soul of the Flyers.

I was Canadiens fan but 2 great teams even though I hated them at the time. Take me back to 1970s hockey.

Complete with the greatest rendition of God Bless America ever.

Classy gesture by Esposito and Orr to shake hands with Kate Smith.

Parent won this series for them. This game was a good example. Boston had lots of chances but Parent just kept making saves. They would have had lots of goals against other goalies.

At only 8 years old I still remember. The greatest moment in my long lifetime in Philly sports history. Our whole Block had hand made signs up. And boy the celebration

Bernie Parent was unbelievable, just playing on his head.

thank you what a series. bobby orr and the bruins are my team for 50 yrs.

If your from philly you know where folcroft is at. It was a burb but it was still a tough hood. If the dads wernt kicking eachothers asses, the kids were. When the game ended the party didnt end till six the next morning. The people that never spoke to each other were partying and drinking together. What a great effort by this Flyers club and what an impression they made. I love all these guys.

Bernie was outstanding

2 VERY GOOD GOAL TENDERS

The Flyers a great team !

My uncles are the watson brothers.

I was 14 years old that Sunday afternoon. I didn't think it was ever possible that they would beat the Bruins 4 times in 10 days. When Parent made that unbelieveable save on the Ken Hodge slapshot with two and a half minutes left, I remember me and my Dad jumping up out of our chairs screaming "YESSSSSSS!" They could have played for 10 periods, they just weren't gonna get a puck past him that day

Orest Kindarachuk was an underrated player, really smart third line center and had to hold up while playing with Saleski and Schultz as his wingers. Terry Crisp winning 2 Stanley Cups as a fourth-line plumber, then coaching a great Calgary Flames team to a Stanley Cup championship

One of The Greatest Games in Flyers History Nothing will Come Close To This Game Clinching Game 6 On The Home Ice Vs The Rival Bruins As a Younger Flyers Fan at Age 25 I have This On My Flyers Greatest Games DVD Go Flyers P.S. RIP Ed Snider Thank You For Making me a Flyers Fan in The 90's As a Kid!

Classic bump-and-grind game from the era. The reason we did not see more of a very good Maple Leafs team was these Bruins, Flyers and of course the Habs who were even better and needed to be as the Leafs were stacked with guys like Sittler, McDonald, Salming, Turnbull, and Mike Palmateer in goal. They had a formidable enforcer-type player of their own, too, in Dave "Tiger" Williams.

To us young and die hard Leaf fans of the mid seventies, the Flyers were much more than the Broad Street Bullies; they were Public Enemy #1. Yet after seeing a few of these cup final games between them and the Bruins after 47 years, I can clearly see how good of an overall team they were. They certainly deserved their 2 cups and the elevation of Bobby Clarke to his eternal place in Flyer Sainthood.

Fun fact for you hockey fans out there; This was the last all Canadian Team to win the Stanley Cup.

thanks for the upload

The fact that Philly no longer reveres Kate Smith make my stomach turn!

This was a STANLEY CUP final for the ages!

everybody says hockey in the 70's was more violent than it is now but I really haven't seen anything to back that up.....

In the WHA that day, the Houston Aeros defeated the Chicago Cougars 6-2 in Houston to complete a 4-game sweep of the finals for the Avco World Trophy. It was the first championship for Gordie Howe since he helped the Detroit Red Wings win the Stanley Cup in 1955.

Parent in the nets. Clarke, Leach, Barber and MacLeish up front. The disciplined, hard working, 2-way style of the Flyers team got them the Cup. No superstars on the blueline, but the pairings played well together. Clarke set the tone with his hard work. He wouldn't accept any teammate who didn't give 100%.

Rick MacLeish was not only a superb wrist shot scorer but whenever he had a fight he never lost them.

You will never see hockey as intense in 2022. You will never see fans as intense in 2022.

Memorable teams

Orr was at the peak of his career here and the Flyers totally intimidated him and his not so big of bad Bruins out of two cups. Orr skated fast from physical encounters against the Flyers. Potvin wouldn’t have any of that crap and its why Dynasty Denny was the greatest D man ever💪🏻.

Bobby Clarke got under Orr's skin at 30 min, Great to see these legends again. You Tube is a treasure. Post more of these classics, if you have them, please.

After The Flyers won this game and The Stanley Cup, the next issue of Sports Illustrated read " God Bless The Flyers".

Thank you for the post. I was 9 years old and still remember this game like it was yesterday. Big Bruins fan. This was a terrific series but as a 9 year old, I was devasted the Bruins lost.

Philly Phlyers Phor Life!!!

Al Michaels should listen to Gene Hart at the end of the game, now that's how you announce and call a CHAMPION!!!! Thank you Gene Hart and God Bless you and the greatest hockey organization of all time The Philadelphia Flyers!!!!!

Thanks !!!

We were there: section J, row 17. I swear the building moved...

I recently heard an interview with Bernie Parent where he discussed the final seconds of the game when Bobby Orr shot the puck the length of the ice as the clock ran out. Parent said he was looking at the clock when the puck was shot and didn’t see it until the last second when it went past him behind the net. Okay, Bernie, but the video seems to contradict that. But its a great story.

40 years later and I remember every guy and their numbers on both teams. Why, and how

Love watching these old games as lived back then but can’t help but think that half of these players would not be able to play in todays game that is so fast and talented

RIP GENEHart, RIP Fred Shero, I was only 9 years old when the Flyers won the cup in 1974, I remember The chaos on Frankford ave everyone high 5ing and the mounted police controlling the crowd when they got out of hand good memories of that day, indeed!

Scary thing is that Parent and MacLeish BOTH originally started their careers as Bruins(as did Ken Dryden) with MacLeish being the B’s #4 overall pick in 1970. They were both also part of the same 3 way trade where, amongst other parts, Parent went from Philly to Toronto and MacLeish went from BOS to PHI (thanks for nothing Mike Walton).

Bernie Parent should've been the MVP for the entire season but I believe Espo got it.

Fred Shero Coach (1925-1990) Ed Snider Team Chairman (1933-2016) Barry Ashbee(1939-1977),Bill Flett(1943-1999), Wayne Stephenson(1945-2010) Ross Lonsberry (1947-2014) and Rick MacLeish (1950-2016)

VERY GOOD REFEREEING

NICE JOB ON THE ICE -LOOKS FAST

Always loved the Flyers!!!!! My favorite hockey of all time!!!! Go Flyers!!!!

4/24/2020 That was beautiful

whata great hockey team

Does anyone know where I could buy the entire game? On dvd?

Bernie Parent was THE greatest goalie of the 1970s and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Five yrs. before I was born. I hope to live to see my team win another cup. This coulda been the year but damn virus!

The Broad Street Bully’s vs The Big Bad Bruins. It sounds like a monster movie. 😂

The good ole days

shero great hockey coach

some of the flyers players came from the bruins in the 67 draft. parent, lonsberry, dornhoffer and maybe some others plus the start of the wha had thinned the bruins and the league, but that's ancient history.

Philadelphia was the first of the "Next Six" teams to win the Stanley Cup. Their 1974 win against Boston was at the time considered a huge upset; before the series began, most sportswriters were looking for Boston to sweep in four straight.

The Kate Smith jinx was the difference :)

I vividly remember watching, as a ten year old, my Bruins lose this game in spring 1974. Even remember the time on the clock when Orr was penalized on Clarke. Orr messed up playing Clarke...had the speed and angle, should have stayed on Clarke's left and rode him off the puck. As great as he was, I remember watching Orr make basic defensive mistakes, which were forgiven, because he was so great offensively. MacLeish should have won an award for that dive...Bucyk was going for the puck, and you can see him turning to avoid dumping MacLeish. Shit call. Orr was dumped from behind in the Flyers end later...no call. The amount of hooking, holding and interference in the league in these days was infuriating.

So cool how Orr and Esposito skated over to shake Kate Smith's hand.

I get 10 points for identifying Ross Brooks as GIlbert's backup, in the handshake line

GAME OVER WE ONLY NEED ONE

Parent was great, but where would this team have been without Bobby Clarke?

Gene Hart. Good night and good hockey.

did anybody else notice that with 5 seconds left in the game, the Bruins are called for icing (the linesman raises his arm and blows the whistle), but everyone ignores it and the clock runs out?

1:41:45 Fan in the handshake line. LOL!

The Flyers played tight but Bernard Parent stole the cup.

32:44 "check by Vadnais"...very generous.

Hit the guy right into the boards head first and no penalty. Lots of hooking the whole game without any penalties. It's why I quit playing high level hockey in midget just a year or two after this series. Nothing but hooking and fast guys like me just got slowed down by it. Not a lot of hard body checking. We hear about how vicious the Flyers were but nobody really hit that much in those days. It was just a lot of stick work.

IF NOT FOR THAT GREAT GOALTENING -GIBERT -IT WOULD HAVE BEEN 8 -TO NOTHIN

ooohhhhyes

"Broad Street Bullies" Rocked the 70's Flyer's rule the world 👅

ooooohhhhhyes

DAMN GOOD REFFERININ

GILBERT IS ONE DAMNGOOD GOALIE

OHHHHHHHYES

Flyers and the legendary Miss Kate Smith nothing nut love here! 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

1:30:08..Macleish would've got an embellishment penalty in today's NHL. I give him a 9.6 for that dive.

THANK you for agreeing with me about ESPO. After wining that 1970 Cup, ESPO was a no show EXCEPT when he played aganst his brother . When he saw that Chicao Hawk jersey #35. ........lookout. Gilbert was no match against Bernie Parent. Bobby Orr cost us game two of that series coughing up the puck to Rick Mclish In 1976 we were loaded with injuries after a grueling series with the LA Kings. THANK GOD we had Jean Ratelle and not ESPO. Ratty scored 2 goals in game 7 of a a 3-0 victory over the Kings. When Cheevers revealed he was hurt and we had to again gor with Gilles" JEKYL AND HYDE" "Gilbert I knew we had no chance. AAAH but With a healthy Cheevers, and new weapons, Peter McNAB, Stan Jonathan, and Rick Middeton we took care of the Flyes in 77 AND 78

I was 9-years old. Me, my dad and sister would always go bike riding on Sundays and I made sure we went riding at 11am to get back in time to watch the game. Can't really remember much about this game though. But I do remember going to the lacrosse game later that night at the Spectrum. It was packed at that game and driving up with my family it was chaos in the streets of Philly...parties all over...chicks flashing their tits and stuff.

Bobby Orr & Phil Esposito both trying to rid the curse of Kate Smith... hilarious....
