Ever since the Flyers entered the NHL in the 1967-68 season, they have become the bullies of the league, granting their 1970's championship team the nickname "Broad Street Bullies." Throughout their 50+ years in the league, they have become rival to many teams. However, there has only been one team that gave us the biggest and best brawls in our team's history...the Toronto Maple Leafs.

1. Craig Berube and Sandy McCarty vs. Tie Domi Brawl (1999)

On December 11, 1999, a massive full ice brawl commenced, including both goalies! (Link Here)

2. 1976 Playoff Brawl

In the third match of a 7-game thriller that went to Philadelphia, things got nasty as the Flyers jousted with fans at Maple Leaf Gardens... Not to mention on-ice fights as well. (Link Here)

3. Ron Hextall vs. Felix Potvin Goalie Fight (1996) 

By far one of the best goalie fights of all time, Hextall rushed down the ice as time expired to lay out Potvin. Surprisingly, Potvin kept his own against the bigger Hextall, leading to an exciting fight. (Link Here)

4. Flyers Fan Falls into Penalty Box with Domi (2001)

Yep. You read the headline right. Domi squirts a bottle at a Flyers fan, and that fan responded by breaking through the glass and launching his body at Domi. (Link Here)

5. Darcy Tucker Destroys Sami Kapanen (2004) 

The announcer said it best...Kapanen turned into scrambled eggs. Just watch... (Link Here)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
