Watch: Classic : Canadiens deny Flyers their 3rd straight Cup
by theScore Staff from on (#5272P)
The Philadelphia Flyers didn't take long to make a name for themselves following the NHL's first expansion in 1967. The "Broad Street Bullies" won two consecutive Stanley Cups in 1974 and '75, and they were looking for another against Guy Lafleur and the revered Montreal Canadiens in the 1976 final.
Flyers star Reggie Leach set the record for most goals in a single postseason (19) and claimed the Conn Smythe Trophy, but the Canadiens proved to be too much, completing the sweep in Game 4 with a 5-3 win at The Spectrum for their first of four consecutive titles.
