October 17, 1991: Rick Tocchet surpassed Paul Holmgren for first place all-time in franchise penalty minutes with 1,601. It was a call for holding in the second period of a game at the Spectrum against the Quebec Nordiques. The Flyers won, 5-3.
Tocchet finished his Flyers career (1984-92; 2000-2002) with a total of 1,817 penalty minutes in just 621 games. He currently still holds the top mark, with Holmgren (1976-84) still in second place.
Heading into tonight's game in Buffalo, the Flyers have not won a game on October 17th since 1999, when they beat Buffalo, 5-2, at the then-named First Union Center.
