FILE - In this May 16, 1974, file photo, Philadelphia Flyers, Dave Schultz (8) left, tries to swing around linesman John D'Amico, center, to get to Boston Bruins Carol Vadnais in a first period fight during an NHL playoff game in Boston. Both players were penalized for fighting. In the 1970s, the Flyers had guys like Dave “The Hammer” Schultz, Bob “The Hound” Kelly and Andre “Moose” Dupont around to not just beat opponents but beat them up, too. More than 40 years later, the Flyers still carry the “Bullies” nickname but are hardly bullying anyone: They’re one of only two teams in the NHL without a fight a quarter of the way through the season.
