When you think of the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1970s, you automatically come up with the images of the bruising “Broad Street Bullies”, the pounding and bruising team that won and fought a lot.  That is all fine and good (and it was pretty good), but you still needed hockey players to put the puck in the net.  Rick MacLeish could do just that.

While Gordon “Red” Berenson would win a Stanley Cup with the Montreal Canadiens in 1965, he really did not have much to do with that title.  Unable to find a permanent spot on their roster, he would be traded to the New York Rangers.  Still, it was when he was traded to the expansion St. Louis Blues in the 1967-68 season that he would not just find a place in the professional ranks but in a starring capacity.

Lorne Carr had a very good career where he averaged .74 Points per Game over a 13-year span in the 1930s and 1940s.  Carr could best be described as an above-average player, but he would see his numbers increase during World War II, where many of the top talents were serving their country.  Carr remained in the NHL, and in the 1942-43 and 1943-44 seasons, he put up his best numbers and was named a First Team All-Star.  Carr played for the New York Rangers and the New York Americans, but it was with the Leafs that he became a two-time First Team All-Star. More importantly, he helped the Leafs win two Stanley Cups (1941 & 1945).

While he was in the shadow (and actually played in it) of his big brother, “The Big M” Frank Mahovolich, Pete Mahovolich was quite the player in his own right.
