When you think of the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1970’s 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.
Rick MacLeish spent the 1970’s with the Philadelphia Flyers where he parlayed his slick wrist shot and two way play to compliment the Broad Street Bullies. Early in his career, he had a 50 Goal and 50 Assist season for an even 100 Point campaign, all of which were career highs. While he was a little unique in having his best offensive season early in his career, he still maintained high production over his Flyers career with three more 90 Point seasons.
