Episode 203 featuring Bobby Clarke

Riley Cote and Derek Settlemyre start the show chatting about Ian Laperriere no longer coaching the Phantoms, Brad Shaw taking an assistant coaching job with the New Jersey Devils, Marco Sturm getting the head coaching job with the Boston Bruins, the Western Conference Final between the Oilers and Stars, the Eastern Conference Final between the Panthers and Hurricanes, and USA winning gold at the World Championship. Before we get to our interview we get into BKFC Ice Wars, and Nasty Knuckles Hockey Club’s upcoming tournament. Then, the most legendary Flyers player of them all BOB CLARKE joined us for an interview this week! Bob gives his thoughts on the present day Flyers, the rebuild, Rick Tocchet being named head coach, Matvei Michkov, and the changes in the game over the years. Jumping ahead we discuss the style the Broad Street Bullies played in the 1970s, how different coaching and play styles are, and some rules he would like to see changed. Moving along we talk about Clarkie as a leader, quitting school at 16 years old to pursue hockey, managing his diabetes as a hockey player, playing against Gordie Howe, playing against Wayne Gretzky, and retiring from playing earlier than he wishes. Finishing up we share Ed Snider and Paul Holmgren stories, talk about Bob’s time as General Manager, Eric Lindros, and more!
