How much has hockey changed since the days when the Flyers' famed Broad Street Bullies were winning Stanley Cups in 1974 and 1975?
Consider this: Entering of Thursday, the Flyers were one of two NHL teams – Arizona was the other – without a fight this season. For the Flyers, that meant 18 games, no fights. Back in the days of Dave Schultz and company, it seemed they frequently didn't go 18 minutes without dropping the glove.
"How many enforcers do teams have now, one, maybe two?" winger Dale Weise said before the Flyers faced New Jersey on Thursday.
