flyerfan2 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Not sure if there is a thread like this here, if so I apologize. Question is simple who is the best fighter to ever play for the flyers.? There has been many over the years, to many to list, and while Schultz is probably my favourite, I'm not sure he was the best . That title I'd have to give to Dave Brown, with honorable mention to Behn Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 1)Dave Brown 2)Paul Holmgrem 3)Rick Tocchett 4)Behn Wilson 5)Dave (the Hammer) Schultz 6)Donald Brasher 7)Frank (Blood) Bathe 8)Craig Berube 9)Andre (Moose) Dupont10)Eric Lindros I'm sure I left out a lot of guys, it was just off the top of my head, I'd probably take out Eric and put Ed (Boxcar) Hospodar in this spot.

Lunatic Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Behn Wilson was some crazy bugger. He did not care who he fought, including his own teammates. Got to be right up there with Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the Flyers Best Popcorn Fetcher list @hf101 As far as fighters, Brown, Brashear and Behn Wilson are right up there. I also remember Glen Cochrane being one nasty bastard.

Podein25 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Does anybody remember Dave Hoyda ??????? Yup. After much thought, I'm going with Dave Brown. I once played for a coach who fought Dave Brown many times in the WHL and his stories put a chill in me. He was a scary good fighter Dave Brown. One of the toughest, best ever.

JR Ewing Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yup. After much thought, I'm going with Dave Brown. I once played for a coach who fought Dave Brown many times in the WHL and his stories put a chill in me. He was a scary good fighter Dave Brown. One of the toughest, best ever. Yeah, a scary fighter for sure. This happened in an Oilers uniform, but nevertheless...... On January 7, 1990, the Oilers and Flames played the first of a home-and-home series against each other, and Brown had a fight against Stu Grimson, who was playing in his 3rd NHL game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MJNtWZWmtQ I always thought it was a draw with the two getting off-balance and falling to end it. Nothing really to see, but Grimson made a mistake, telling the press that he had beaten the toughest guy in the league. Big mistake. January 9, 1990: Brown was absolutely merciless, pummeling Grimson to kingdom come. Grimson left the game, requiring reconstructive surgery after suffering multiple factures. This was a scary beatdown of a young player who learned that you don't talk about other goons in a disrespectful manner. Tim Hunter chirped Brown from the bench, but he definitely didn't want any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 To answer the question, I have to go with Dave Brown. Lindros really could throw down. Another guy who could throw who no one thinks of is Tim Kerr. Just like Lindros, he didn't often have to, but he could take care of himself.
