“Here are the last 7 minutes or so of the memorable Game 6 of the 1987 Cup Finals. The action is picked up just as Glenn Anderson took a high sticking penalty that led to Brian Propp’s game tying goal. 1:24 later J.J. Daigneault scores to give the Flyers a 3-2 lead. The file is too long so it has been split into 2 parts.”

I only remember reading about this series and seeing highlights of it on some sports show the next day. I was eleven years old at this point and my family didn’t have cable yet and this series wasn’t on American network TV. But I knew the Flyers were really good at this point. I remember them being beating my Capitals in the conference playoffs that year in game 7 and in overtime.
I hated the Flyers back then and I still do. They were the Capitals arch-rival back then and I still consider them to be, especially since we are back in the same division. Have a great history of great tough physical games each other. Which both teams playing a similar style of tough hockey. Witch clutch scoring and solid goaltending.
This series represents NHL hockey at its best. Two great all around teams with a lot of skill, who are also physical. And the NHL needs to get back to that, instead of trying to make hockey like indoor soccer in order to pick up young American fans who don’t appreciate defense in any sport. And are only interested in seeing a lot of scoring.
