The Philadelphia Flyers have been considered the toughest team in the NHL for more than 40 years.
In 1974, the Flyers became the first expansion team to win a Stanley Cup and earned the nickname "The Broad Street Bullies" for their combative, tough and intimidating style of play and their willingness to drop the gloves.
Here is a look at the 10 best fighters in the history of the Philadelphia Flyers. This is not a simple question of who would win a fight between any two players on this list. Players are ranked by their reputation as fighters during their tenure in Philadelphia, the length of time they spent with the Flyers and the impact they had on the team's success because of their ability to throw punches.
