gives me goosebumps and makes me smile evrytime. i think part of the reason is the actual excitement and joy in the announcers voice. another part would be that that city had nothing and thses guys gave them everything.
"The Flyers are going to win the Stanley Cup!" haha that never gets old! I love how after a big win like that, they suddenly become like little kids again, running wild with their excitement over their victory. =)
@raran44 - The Flyers did win the Cup in 1974-75 against the Islanders, but this video is from the 1973-74 season, when they beat the Bruins.
It's only the second time in Philly sports history that any team won their league's championship back-to-back - the Eagles did it in 1948 and 1949.
In fact, the Eagles (1960) and the Flyers (1975) hold the longest droughts in Philly sports for championships. The 76ers won it in 1983 and the Phils, of course, won it in 2008.
@billyouknow lol and before that 2 days it was 49 years ago fag your probably a rangers pussy fan who cryed them selves to sleep cause they cant even make the playoffs
@squiglet4 lol ya but we just won it like 2 weeks ago.. the cups in chicago.. not fag town philly.. andthe whole rangers thing makes no sense lol sense im talking bout the hawks lol but keep trying to make yourself feel better.. WE GOT THE CUP hahahah
@billyouknow lmao for one we will make it to the playoffs.. i guarantee it.. two if we dont the flyers will be worse than us anyway and we beat them the previous year in the finals soooo ya ill still be talking shit lmao ahahah
@billyouknow Incredible.... a Hawks fan talking shit on a posted vid referring to the Flyers. Thats the difference between a Philly fan and you. We wouldn't go on some other teams video post to comment because we have no interest in your team...even to talk shit about whether we'd won or not. You however are already bored with your own team and they won the Cup (after 49 years no less).... I guess you guys waited long enough....RIGHT?... pathetic.
@PHILLYDEMOCRAT I know he is watching down on the Flyers and is proud everytime Lauren sings that awesome God Bless America duet with Kate Smith. GO FLYERS!
For some reason everytime a team loses the stanely cup or super bowl, n NBA championship I feel bad for the losing team bcuz they couldn't experiance the fun n cheering
Yo we are clearly the most hated team in the Nhl, come on you pricks keep bringing the hate mail....you think we hate it? Your wrong we love it.....ps who holds the title for the most intimidating fans in the nhl we do! your just jealous.
thats why philly has the sole reputation for being the most passionate and hated fans in sports...youve probly never even been to a flyers game...or one with heavy implications
I'd have to agree with switchhitter08 on his take on McGraw. However, May 19, 1974 was the greatest day in Philly sports history up to that date.
October 29, 2008 would also rank up there when Harry Kalas made the greatest call of his career: "The Philadelphia Phillies are 2008 world champions of baseball!"
Two days later, there was another great day in Philadelphia sports history when a certain second baseman said five historic words that made him an honorary Philadelphian for life.
its funny that this game officially was 59:56 cause there was 4 secs left when the iceing was called there was just so much noise and crazyness in the building they just go cause the faseoff would have been down the other end and boston would have to go 200 feet to score not a chance
@Phantom2109 I hear you, I was born a month after our last cup. Im startin to think its me! nah...we got it this year. things are turnin around. we just have to fidure out how to beat last place teams and we got it!
every year can be our year....its just the loss of heart and bullshit officiating....i keep feeling it though...itll happen soon. unfortunately im only 19 so i missed this by a LONG time :\
@LetsGoFlyers2010 - I was a 10-year-old boy when I watched the late, great Gene Hart on TV making this call, which was the greatest call of his career. (No, he didn't have a beard at that time!)
I have a friend who swears he was conceived as the Phillies won the 1980 World Series (he was born on July 3, 1981 - you do the math!), and thought he was the curse behind the Phillies until 2008.
ugh just hearing "the flyer's win the stanley cup!" makes me want to cry! haha. That was way before my time and god willing the Flyers can pick it up this season and make use of the all around great team we have! so much potential! Did anyone see that awesome save Nitty made in the thrd period! Nabokov must have been jealous!
Hell, brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. And I wasn't even born yet.
Bobby, Barber, Macleash, Dave the Hammer.
Shit, Dornie, Parent. What an amazing team. Winning against the likes of Bobby Orr and Espisito? Hockey will never be the same. Espisito had 60 goddamn goals that season. And they all played without helmets.
lol look at the fans on the ice! cant do that now :\
