#2 Test

Dave Schultz never sugar-coated anything — especially coaching. After joining a stacked team midseason, Schultz thought the future was wide open… until a coaching change flipped the mood entirely. What followed was a brutally honest take on Scotty Bowman, the Montreal Canadiens bench, and a long memory that stretched back to some very physical nights in Montreal — including run-ins with Serge Savard. Love him or hate him, Dave Schultz always told it exactly how he saw it. 🎙️ Past Our Prime Podcast #DaveSchultz #ScottyBowman #NHLHistory #BroadStreetBullies #HockeyLegends

Before fighting majors were debated on talk shows, before enforcers became a dying role, there was Dave Schultz. The Hammer wasn’t flashy. He wasn’t there to score. He was there to protect, intimidate, and make sure opponents thought twice before taking liberties. In the Broad Street Bullies era, the Flyers understood something most teams didn’t. Skill wins games. Fear wins space. Schultz owned that space. He piled up penalty minutes because that was the assignment. Stand up for teammates. Control the temperature of the game. Send a message early and make it last all night. Love him or hate him, you knew when Dave Schultz was on the ice. And so did everyone else. This wasn’t dirty hockey. This was old school enforcement. And The Hammer did it better than anyone. #HockeyHistory #NHL #EnforcerEra #BroadStreetBullies #DaveSchultz

“…Toots was running around like a bull in a china shop.” Tootoo isn’t just a hockey story. He changed the game with his speed, his physicality, and his fearlessness... and then showed even more courage off the ice. “Tootoo” is now available in the U.S. on TVOD ITunes, Google Play, YouTube. @scoregmedia @jtootoo22 @scoreg

When asked if he felt like today’s win was a step in the right direction of coming out of his slump, David Pastrnak said “everybody’s making a little bit too big [of a] deal out of it:” “I’m still a human being. I feel like there’s times gonna happen that there’s gonna be slumps and humps…Obviously I know I wasn’t at best, unfortunate it happened, but I’m working my butt off every night and every day to try to get better. And obviously confidence has been a little bit lacking, so I just need to gain that little bit. I’m not worried, I’ll be be back pretty soon.” #nhlbruins #bruins #bostonbruins #gobruins #davidpastrnak

Dave “The Hammer” Schultz – One of Hockey’s Most Feared Enforcers Dave Schultz was one of the most notorious fighters in NHL history and a central figure in the brutal reputation of the Philadelphia Flyers during the “Broad Street Bullies” era of the 1970s. Here are the key facts that make his fighting legacy legendary. The Most Penalty Minutes Ever (At the Time) In the 1974-75 NHL season, Schultz set an NHL record with 472 penalty minutes. That record stood for decades and perfectly captured the Flyers’ intimidation strategy. For context: • Most players today finish a season with 20–60 penalty minutes. • Schultz had 472. The “Hammer” Schultz earned the nickname “The Hammer” because once he grabbed someone, the fight usually ended fast. He fought everyone: • star players • heavyweights • entire benches if needed Opposing teams often dressed their own enforcers just to deal with Schultz. The Broad Street Bullies Identity The Flyers of the mid-70s built their identity on physical intimidation. With players like: • Bob Kelly • Andre Dupont • Don Saleski Schultz was the centerpiece of that toughness. The strategy worked. The Flyers won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 1974 and 1975. Schultz Forced the NHL to Change Rules Schultz fought so frequently that the NHL eventually introduced stricter fighting rules in the late 1970s to reduce staged fights and bench-clearing chaos. His impact literally helped change how the league handled fighting. Even Fans Loved the Chaos Despite the violence, Schultz was extremely popular in Philadelphia. Fans loved the intimidation factor and how he protected teammates. When he retired he had: • 1,472 career penalty minutes • Two Stanley Cups • A reputation as one of the toughest players the sport has ever seen. #HockeyHistory #NHL #VintageNHL #Hockey
