Mar 12, 1978 ...Classic Bulls brawl from the Jets in-house video feed. Ken Linseman chops Dave Dunn, Steve Durbano assaults Bobby Hull, the benches clear and the fans chip in, too. Wayne Wood tells a fan: "I'll take your eye out."

"Demolition Durby" Durbano was hit with a 12-game suspension and warned that his next suspension would be for life.

For sure, best post of all. The organ provides the best ambience for a true hockey game, not some piped in music that's too loud. Back in the day, the crowds made the noise in the arena, not the DJ.

That New York prick Bettman. It's weird how he's so opposed to teams moving to Canada. He'd rather have Coyotes and such teams go bankrupt and forever bathe in debt as the worst teams in the league than having succesful Canadian teams. NHL hockey back to Winnipeg!

The old Bulls were something else. Which we could get a team again with Clarkson as the owner.

This probably was shot as coaching tape to play back for the players, since

(1) Very few WHA games were ever televised, and,

(2) The rink did not have a large video replay screen (I think Capital Center near Washington was the only hockey arena until around 1980 to have a video scoreboard).

@shamsankar1 lol I am a proud Birmingham Bulls fan I was 12 at the time so proud to be a Birmingham Bullie but you know they went with youth the next year and four players that were on that team made the Hockey hall of fame plus they had Mark Napier if they had got into the NHL they would have been very good.  Hey they were in football country and they knew we licked hard hits hell we showed up at 9000 people a clip not bad for the time I LOVE MY BULLS.

@WatchVenusSpa @fastfootedone True we were the Bullies lol but the 78 team went in a different direction and went with youth ,did you know that 3 guys on that team ended up in the Hockey Hall of Fame? Michel Goulet, Rod Langway and Frank Mahovlich and they also had Mark Napier lol in a couple more years that team would have been awesome they averaged 8000 fans a game were my favorite team growing up beside the Crimson Tide we held the racord for most penalty minutes for many years lol
