This is awesome, never seen a ticket to that game before….hate or love the Flyers, you gotta love that they beat the Soviets! Literally made them quit the game and Snider told them they didn’t get paid for any game vs NHL unless they completed this 4th and final game LOL

I was in elementary school and the teacher pulled in the tv for everyone to watch. What was that trolley thing called again?

Nice. Remember watching this live. Couldn’t believe what was happening. Legends Gallivan and Irvin calling the game: “They’re leaving the ice. The Soviets are leaving.”
“They’re going home!”

The flyers vs Soviets? Seems like a boring game tbh

That ticket should be in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

This was a once in a lifetime event, the soviets pretty well steamrolled everyone, but philly wasnt having any of it, i love how their playbook back then was basically: “try to win, if that doesnt work, then just kill the other guys”

Back when Merica’ didn’t take any shit from the Reds.

With inflation factored in, that was the equivalent of an $82 ticket today. Not bad..

The stress from trying to decide who to root for would have damn near killed me.

There’s a documentary on the Broad Street Bullies that shows highlights from this game, well worth watching.

I love the caption on the ticket “May we live in peace” and then. the game started and the war was on and the Soviet team actually left the ice when the Flyers started hitting anything wearing red that moved.

Russians were slow learners. You’d have thought that Bobby Clarke’s slash that broke Kharlamov’s ankle in the ‘72 Summit Series would’ve been etched into their minds. Clarke and the Flyers would do whatever it took to win – rules be damned.
So the Red Army got their asses handed to them. They walked off the ice with 2-4 minutes left. I think it was Allen Eagleson who went down and told the Red Army to get back out there or forfeit their money for that series of exhibition games. They did. But the USSR sent their B-team to the Canada Cup 76 in retaliation so that Team Canada, with its “bajillion” (as Elliot Friedman would say) HOFers did not actually beat the best that year.

A true world championship. Best two club teams in the world at the time.

A friend of mine a couple weeks ago showed me 2 tickets he’d found in his dads old stuff for this game. Wasn’t as fancy as a $15 executive box, but they had lower level.

Never forget they left the ice and only came back when Ed Snyder told them they wouldn’t get paid. The damn commies were capitalist after all.
