Almost Forgot what a Douche Booby Clarke is-Almost

We were allowed to spend the money, we always tried to win,” Clarke said. “We didn’t do what Pittsburgh did; lose seven years in a row so they could get good. They did it twice, in fact. They went through six or seven different owners. We’ve had one owner.”Clarke finds the strategies of some current teams appalling when considering the way other organizations have built competitive teams.“It’s somewhat embarrassing that three of the last teams (in the 2009 playoffs) missed the playoffs six or seven years in a row; Washington, Chicago, and Pittsburgh,” he said. “Now they’re good and the teams that try to win all the time get penalized. Our philosophy has never changed since 1967.”Although Clarke was never able to capture a Stanley Cup in the front office, it wasn’t for lack of effort or desire.“We do everything we can to win; it is our responsibility to our fans.”

Clarke fails to mention all of the bad trades he authored, or the long term overpriced contracts of Hartnell and Little Danielle Briere that hurt the Flyers ability to add the final pieces of the championship puzzle.......Sounds to me like a man who cannot climb to the top of the mountain looking for excuses!
