Welcome back to Last Word on Hockey’s summer series where we look at the biggest game in team history. Each day we will be back with a new team to look at. Looking at things like the lead-up, what happened, followed, and why it makes it the biggest game. The biggest game does not automatically mean a win, either. Sometimes, it can be a loss that set the franchise back massively. Sit back and enjoy as we break down all 31 teams’ most important game. In this article, we will discuss the Philadelphia Flyers biggest game in franchise history. The full series is found here.
The Flyers would face an original six team in the Stanley Cup Final – the Boston Bruins. Although the Flyers could impose their will on most of the NHL at the time, the Bruins would not back down to the physical challenge. Over the two team’s previous 19 meetings in Boston, the Flyers lost 17 and tied two of those games. The Bruins home-ice advantage made them heavy favourites to win the 1974 Stanley Cup Finals.
