Brett HullGUEST
You know, they care, they're good people.
Brett HullGUEST
Uh, I'm not gonna say he was Scotty Bowman by any means or, you know, Fred Shero, but I mean, he, he cared and, uh, he was a player's coach.
Brett HullGUEST
He was fair, he was tough.
Brett HullGUEST
Uh, he just wanted you to play your guts out just like he did.
Mike EruzioneGUEST
Well, John Ferguson, who was the general manager, he ended up getting fired.
Mike EruzioneGUEST
And Fred Shero now became the general manager of the New York Rangers.
Mike EruzioneGUEST
And Fred Shero told my agent that they weren't signing any of John Ferguson's players, and Mike was free to do what he wanted to do.
Mike EruzioneGUEST
Well, I thought, "Why don't I go back to Toledo, play as an amateur, and have an opportunity to try out for the '80 Olympic team?" It's funny.
Mike EruzioneGUEST
If John Ferguson never got fired, I probably would have signed with the New York Rangers.
Jim RalphHOST
... against the Big Bad Bruins.
Jim RalphHOST
And Freddy Shero was asked after.
Jim RalphHOST
They said, "Why would Bob Taylor play tonight? It's against Boston.
Jim RalphHOST
Bernie's played 29 in a row." And Shero said, "It was his turn."
JoshHOST
The medical concern that had caused teams to pass on him [sniffs] disappeared very quickly.
JoshHOST
Fred Shero became Flyers coach in 1971, and quickly realized Clark was different.
JoshHOST
Shero occasionally gave the team drills that didn't make much sense, specifically to see whether Clark would challenge him.
JoshHOST
Clark did.
PhilHOST
[laughs]
JoshHOST
Whatever people thought about the Kharlamov incident, Clark returned from the Summit Series with a new level of confidence.
JoshHOST
During the '72, '73 season, Fred Shero named the 23-year-old Clark captain, making him the youngest captain in NHL history at that time.
JoshHOST
That same season, Clark produced 104 points, becoming the first player from a post-1967 expansion franchise to reach 100 points.
Elizabeth DuttonHOST
100%.
Elizabeth DuttonHOST
And then like the rest of the guys in the holding cell look on in horror.
Zaron BurnettHOST
And they hold up scores like Olympic judges give you a 10.
Zaron BurnettHOST
I
Elizabeth DuttonHOST
Zarin, I have another entry for the Ridiculous Crime Drug Smuggler Hall of Fame.
Elizabeth DuttonHOST
Oh, I love them.
Elizabeth DuttonHOST
Yeah, this guy parallels a couple of the other drug guys we've talked about, but has some pretty ridiculous details that make him special.
Zaron BurnettHOST
He's got personal style?
Bill MatzHOST
Uh, with the Flyers, he played with his younger brother Jimmy for several seasons, and was a member of the Flyers back-to-back Stanley Cup championship teams.
Bill MatzHOST
In the infamous 1976 game against the Soviet Red Army team, Watson, a defenseman and not a big scorer, scored a short-handed goal against the great Vladislav Tretiak, causing Flyers coach Fred Shero to joke that Watson had set Russian hockey back 25 years.
Bill MatzHOST
I love that.
Bill MatzHOST
I love a good coach razzing.
