Clarke and Parent THE TWO GREATEST FLYERS EVER ! Nobody else is even close !

i was 13 when we won the 1st cup that summer was the start of street hockey, that lasted for years i lived in Levittown and you couldn't drive thru any section without seeing a pick up game. those were the days..... the Broad Street Bullies will never be forgotten. believe it or not, the Flyers saved hockey. back then a lot of teams could't sell out their home games, until the Flyers came calling. this team was the BADDEST team ever, no one can compare...even to this day

Did you score for a case of Tastykake? I lived in Falls Township around the same time and we were playing street hockey unless there was snow on the ground. They cry of "Car!" was the only thing that would slow us down, that and chasing the puck down the street after someone shot and missed the net . Good times.

I loved Bobby Clarke back in the late 70s and early 80s. His toothless smile was priceless and spoke volumes. But he also had a nasty and thoughtless side. I recall him making an insensitive comment about Roger Neilson having cancer and he had it in for Eric Lindros. And I'm sure that Valeri Kharlamov has some negative thoughts, too. So again, great player back in the day, but he could have been a better human being.

Bobby Clarke was THE MAN!

He was a great hockey player except for his constant stick work on other players he got pummeled everytime he fought was a hustler but very dirty

There are probably only two or three guys that I would place above him and they are ted lindsay of the red wings and rocket richard of the canadiens. Also Bobby Clarke himself said that Bobby Orr was the epitome of what a hockey player should represent. When Orr was the best player on the ice against the russians playing on only one good leg. Yet he was undoubtedly a throwback to a tougher era when players would do ANYTHING to win. A perfect example was in the summit series against the russians when he slashed the soviets great winger valery kharlomov

Bob Clarke was not a bully. A bully actually sticks around to fight his own battles, though he usually picks them with those he thinks won't fight back. No, Bob Clarke was the asshole who knew all the bullies, and once he started crap he'd back off and let his bully buddies take over and clean up for him--Reggie Leach did the same thing, but his excuse was he had a problem not being drunk during hockey games. Aside from his actual skills Bob Clarke just spit out his teeth and loved watching his bully teammates do his dirty work. And some wonder why Billy Smith tried to carve Clarke's face like a steak!

When drafted he was a smallish under sized player with mid range skills BUT what The Flyers identified in Clarke was intangibles such as HEART WILL DETERMINATION LEADERSHIP SKILLS and the biggest thing about Clarke that " blue collar lunch pal WIN AT ANY COST ATTITUDE was contagious to the whole locker room AND most of all Clarke Hated To Lose MORE than winning itself - Bobby Clarke overachieved in every category and by extension The Cup Winning Flyer Teams overachieved SO Clarke made himself a great player by SHEER WILL DETERMINATION and HARD WORK - THAT WON THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA FOR LIFETIME - " And as for you cheap shot claims BOB CLARKE gave as good as he had received - SIT DOWN JOHNNY aa.

We are use to the hate of The Flyers and we still don't care BECAUSE This town supports our 4 EAGLES FLYERS PHILLIES SIXERS - We don't care what out of town people and critics say about are sports teams because we're to busy of selling out stadiums to support those teams WIN OR LOSE.

To finish that comment Clarke knew that kharlamov was the soviets best player and he broke his ankle to get him out of the series. Yet that is the way the canadian game was played brutal and to the hilt. Clarke was a perfect proponent if that style.
