Dave Schultz vs Clarke Gillies - Gillies 2nd fight in NHL

[andmaketherain]

...olde time hockey..

[123tmacg]

I'm a Ranger fan and agree with all the Islander fan posts here, where was Dupont? It seems to me that Schultz only looks tough pounding poor Dale Rolphe. I think Gillies was probably one of the best pound for pound fighter/hockey players ever. Whereas Schultz could hardly %$#%g skate!

[MrJuha82]

I think i meant Schultz who is the winner here, for outlanding Gillies in mediocre scrap. DEcent one.

[gcdcjccc]

Jethro would cream Davey Boy TODAY

[ThePete65]

thats why the isles won cups and the flyers did not ..same if you vote for obama bunch of twinks

[motorhead555]

This was the end for the Flyers. Once teams stopped being afraid of their intimidation tactics it became obvious that the Flyers were not a very good team as Montreal demonstrated at the end of the 76 season. I remember this game well. Shultz was always trying to sucker punch smaller player but got his clock cleaned everytime he would fight someone his own size.

[whenhockeywasreal]

I remember watching this game..and so many more like it...ahhhh..those were the days of hockey......

[sqpnt]

The only people who badmouth these Flyers teams are ones who got their butts kicked by them.

Whether it was physically or with pure skill, the Flyers, for the most part, manhandled the league for 3 years from about '74 - '76.

I completely understand why rival fans and teams would hate them... but if it were YOUR team, you'd LOVE them.

Player with white jersey won this fight NARRowLy.

[Marhear2010]

Great video starting thinking about these days after the HBO special The Broad Street Bullies. Thanks

[Kurzgan]

Schultz did pretty good in this fight, not so well in the other however :)

[sqpnt]

I love how so many people hated those Flyers teams of the 70's...

You all hated them because your teams were absolutely TERRIFIED to face them... I mean, whose fault is it that they were bigger, badder and tougher than anyone in the NHL???

Not to mention the actual TALENT that they had.

[aeroliner750]

@sqpnt my friend not true they couldn't play all they were any good at was fighting as for talent clark not so talented

i was playing hockey at this time and schultz was a pussy just like the rest of the flyers when you got them alone

not only did giles kick his schultz's ass a guy that was on my team who later went to pllay for buffalo valmore james kicked the hell out of him off the ice in the parking lot of phillies aerna

the flyers could not play they would fight better then they played

[justice008a]

@aeroliner750 couldn't play? 35 games unbeaten in 1980; when is that record gonna be broken?? Never. You ever been on a peewee team that won more than 3 in a row? Went to the Stanley Cup finals in 1974, 1975, 1980, 1985, 1987.... doesn't seem like they had a lot of trouble playing.....

[aeroliner750]

@justice008a yep did play in the midgets 3years 0 lost they got there by beating up every body not by PLAYING the game if there would try to play on talent wouldn't be able to do it

and when you have a owner that would pay you more by how many fights that you got into or the kind of penalty that you got

they had on real telent just brawl but you being a die hard philly fan you are stuck on your opinion and that is fine all well and good take care

[justice008a]

@aeroliner750 Reggie Leach got paid for fights? I thought he got paid for scoring 60 goals in a season which was almost unheard of, or scoring 19 goals in a playoff year and winning the Conn Smythe. I thought Bernie Parent was the best goalie of his era, must have been all the fights he was in. I don't remember Rick MacLeish winning many fights but I do remember him scoring 50 goals. Bill Barber and Bobby Clarke must have fought a lot too. You either have a bad memory or you weren't watching

[jcifv1]

@justice008a Why did the flyers always jump in and help their "tough guys"? Give one good answer or do not answer at all.

[justice008a]

@jcifv1 you're comparing a hockey team to Islamic terrorists, yet you want me to give you a good answer or none at all LOL.. ya that makes sense. Your comment says it all about your intelligence.  If you've ever watched a baseball brawl you'd see everyone fights along side each other; same thing for a football melee. The answer is because as a team you fight together; the teams in this era that did won and the teams that didn't lost. I never saw Behn Wilson or Holmgren require help or get any

[jcifv1]

@justice008a Look at the video where Gillies bitchslaps Hoyda...just before they engage with Gillies making his way towards Hoyda Wiolson...in typical gay fashion...tries to run interference on Gillies. Wilson had an interview where he was quoted saying that the Flyers were afraid of Gillies.

[justice008a]

@jcifv1 LOL.... you go ahead and produce that imaginary interview for the rest of us.  When you give somebody 2 beatings you don't fear them very much. Holmgren also at least fought Gillies to a draw, most people scored that a Holmgren win -- he didn't look all that afraid. I'm glad you're proud of Gillies being able to beat Dave Hoyda; only problem is Dave Hoyda was about as good a fighter as Bill Barber... or Mike Bossy LOL. Don't make up crap; try to argue opinions based on fact please

[skincauldron]

@justice008a

In talking about the Holmgren-Gillies fight, when you say most people scored that a Holmgren win, "most people" equals everybody but Islander fans. They'll say "draw" or make up a lame excuse as to why Gillies got smacked around before being put down like a broken legged racehorse.

Like you, I'm also curious to see this "mystery interview" that jcifv1 spoke of. I wonder if Wilson gave that quote before or after his knuckles rearranged Jethro's face, lol.

[justice008a]

@skincauldron LOL I just want to see people debate based on facts and not make stuff up. I was actually alive and an NHL fan when these games took place. I think many of the posts here are from kids 17 or younger. They don't even understand why some players in the footage are wearing helmets and others aren't, and yet they don't have a clue that the goalies they're watching in today's NHL ARE cheating wearing ridiculously large equipment for no valid reason and the on-ice product now is crap

[tCROSSt]

@skincauldron

Holmgren and Wilson never voluntarily took hook their helmuts off when going against Gillies, ever wonder why. Would you at least agree that the person with a helmut has a Huge advantage???????????

[donandflo1980]

@skincauldron ..... true fact the flyers were the toughest team in the 70 s gilles just another statistics hes a nobody without potvin and bossy lol

[justice008a]

@jcifv1 if that answer wasn't good enough for you we'll go with your theory that they were doing it because they were plotting the 9-11 attacks......

[88guilly88]

@jcifv1 because they played with an "all for one..." mentality taught to them by Freddie Shero in the early 1970s. Not a bad tactic as it won them TWO straight Stanley Cups and kept them at the top of the standings for years.

They always had each others' back. Win or lose. That's why they jumped in.

[landryqc]

yea u better not mention that LACK of talent,they won game cauz they wernt playing the game

[jcifv1]

@sqpnt I don't know about this tougher. Perhaps playing like ants helping each other. It's like the Islamist terrosrists...stick together and do whatever it takes (kill women and children or in the case of the Flyers jump in on gights) so they were tougher in that sense then.

[GTM57]

Gee...where was Dupont? Oh yea Shultz has to start getting pounded before his little bitch Dupont jumps in to save his sorry ass.

[rjst09]

Please, Schultz had no business messing with Jethro.

[skincauldron]

@rjst09 Dude, are you nutz? Schultz won this fight.

The other fight between them... Yeah, Gillies whooped him. Badly. Very very badly. But not in this one.

[mailman32212]

@skincauldron so why wasnt it mentioned at all in the hbo movie about the bullies?flyers were so tough they couldnt man up when someone kicked their ass?

[uiwqe]

i surprised the flyers dint jump in like they do,,,jack asses!!!

[Flyers20Fan]

@uiwqe why would u jump in if ur guy is handling the other guy real well?

[kcatleticos]

schultz did a lot better in this fight than later one in the playoffs
