As to the bloodletting in Philly, the only reason Clarke walked through the exit instead of getting punted through it like Hitchcock was because the man has been tied to that team for 21 years, even as poorly as Philly is playing, gassing him this early would have caused the owner too much static, so they negotiated Clarke's graceful departure...

I'm not kvetching about anything, just saying. I guess they are called the three blind mice for a reason :) (my mom once got tossed from a soccer game when I was playing in high school for singing that catchy little ditty when the refs decided not to call anything -- for EITHER team.) :)

I figured they gave Clarke the option to resign instead of firing him. Wonder what venture he'll go on now, or if he'll just retire.

Heh, ref bashing could be an Olympic sport :P (I remember when the NHL actually issued an edict saying that teams couldn't play things like "Three Blind Mice" at arenas :D)

I really think that Clarke is gonna step back for a while and evaluate things. I can't see him staying retired, but his relationship with the Flyers is toast, burnt toast...
