Ed van Impe. 84.   Flyers defenseman and part of the Broad Street Bullies.  Crushed the Soviet Red Army player with a check causing the team to leave the ice. For a while anyway until they were told they would not be paid.  Started with teh Blackhawks.  Unfortunately played a few games with the Penguins to end his career.
