Cool story...when the Flyers beat up the Russian national team back in the 70s, Hart apparently was the only person that they could find who could speak Russian. When the Russians walked off the ice and refused to continue the game, he went down to the locker room and told them they would not get paid if they didn’t finish the game. The game continued without major incident!
Aside from the 4-1 thrashing the Flyers delivered. That's one thing people forget about the Bullies...they had talent and could score. Not every game was a demolition derby. Indeed, Clarke's 1974 OT goal against the Bruins was made possible by a heads-up play by Schultz to steal the puck away and make a centering pass to Cowboy Flett who then passed it to Clarke. BOOM!
