Its comments like this and many others that had me staunchly in the Lindros camp when all that ugliness was happening.

As much as I love Bobby, Bob seemed like a Richard.

(I'm way over it now by the way)

Bill speaking of Bobby Clarke, what were some of your favorite quotes by him?

Mine in regards to Shane Kenny: "He ate his way out of a contract."

Not sure who the player was that Clarke was referring to but:

"He has a barrier problem. There's no barrier between his brain and his mouth."

Bob Clarke didn't care about morality when selecting hockey players.

Apparently, he didn't care about hockey either in some cases.

I franking hate bush league hockey.

Also, interesting that nobody else from either team started mixing it up. Both teams probably hoping both of those useless clowns knocked themselves out.

Back up this statement cause I am pretty sure Wayne Simmonds and a first does not get you the number one overall pick

I was just disappointed how the Lindros fiasco ended the way it did or even happened at all. Knowing what he was like though didn’t allow me to have much sympathy for him. I too am way past it....
- landros 2


Really? Did he use racial epithets? Or smack women around?

No.

That is the standard for good athlete we have set.

So he could have been a conceited jerk, and I don't care.

As for Clarke, I won’t take issue with comments regarding him as a GM. As a player... I’mguessing that I witnessed 90% of his games. He never took off a minute let alone a shift. He brought it every game and his teammates knew it. Don’t think there was a player in any sport who did more with relatively limited god given gifts. And those of us who were there will never forget the over time goal in game 3 of the SCF. If you didn’t see this guy play consider yourself cheated. Also, you’re probably young and that makes up for it.

I think there were rumors of Simmonds, our first, and probably another player. Impossible to say for sure.

One of my fave Clarke quotes was to Gretzky during the 79-80 season. Gretz, a rookie, was constantly whining to the ref about missed calls when Clarkie skated by and said, “Aw quit cryin’, ya baby!”

Sanheim(who was taken with that puck) needs to start working out with Provy. Kid is charmin ultra soft.

Also I want to say Hextall was rumored to have offered Schenn and the 1st for Ekblad but Florida asked for Simmons and a 1st and Hextall said no. This was coming off the season where I believe Simmons lead the league in PP goals so the value was fair imo.

Doesn’t really matter. Could’ve offered simmonds and they asked for schenn. Whatever it was it was too much with the draft picks and or what they asked for.

NO Hextall turns them down; wasn’t too much. Hextall sucked as gm at the nhl level
