The Flyers, once known as the Broad Street Bullies, put winger Jay Rosehill on waivers Thursday and will start the season without a heavyweight enforcer for the first time since the early 1970s.

What in the name of Dave Schultz is going on here?

Enforcers, Flyers coach Craig Berube said after Friday's practice in Voorhees, are needed less today than in the past.

"I think everybody knows that," he said. "You look at the rules, look at the game, look at everything."

Over the years, the Flyers have had more than 30 enforcers, including Dave Schultz, Paul Holmgren, Ed Hospodar, Glen Cochrane, Dave Brown, Donald Brashear, Berube, Riley Cote, and Jody Shelley.
