TGWTMBOFS- Philadelphia Flyers

IIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT'SSSSSSSSSSSS BBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK


After a slight hiatus, I present
"That Guy With the Mustache's Best of Franchise Series- Philadelphia Flyers"

My choice is Bobby Clarke. Not only was he their(arguably) best player on the ice, he was also a major part of the franchise off the ice. Parent was my second choice.

Bernie Parent...IMHO one of the finest goalies to play the game.

Man was that ever a long title. :^^^^:

What happened to the "Dusty" nickname?

Never really took off for what ever reason

I decided i needed to finish what i started. only 8 more i drink think.

The last one of these was January 19th :****:

Clarke, both the good and the bad.

Probably one of the nastiest S.O.B.s I've ever seen, in the body of an accountant.

My accountant has all his teeth, still.

I had to go with Clarke because not only did he have an impact as a player but he also had a major impact as their GM.

I went against the grain a bit, I picked Ron Hextall, he personifies in my opinion the tough team that Philly was always billed to be, and yes, bobby clarke might have been a bit more nasty than Hextall, but Hextall was a goalie, not exactly a position for a guy to be an enforcer, but man, he was, plus was the first goalie to score an NHL goal.

I voted other because if you know anything about Pelle Lindbergh and the story behind him and the franchise, todays Flyers still draw inspiration and speak of Pelle daily.

This is one of many great reads on Pelle.

Warning***Google his name and you may start to like the Flyers.

I voted for Hextall...mainly because I have no clue who 95% of the other guys are...

Clarke has had a huge impact on the franchise so I went with him! Player and GM wise!

While I agree Clark has made his mark on the franchise, no one is more memorable than Ron Hextall. Solid goalie with a wicked bad temper. I would have loved to see him play in person
