Flyers were also missing Rick Macleish in the playoffs in 1976. Why was Macleish never at least considered for the Hockey Hall of Fame? 8th man in history to score 50 goals in a season and was the leading scorer in the playoffs both years the Flyers won the Cup.
Who would you rather have playing center for you in a clutch playoff game? Macleish or HOFER Bernie Federko?
Years later Sabre General manager Punch Imlach once said:
'If I want to fill the arena I'll take Gil Perreault. If I want to win I'll take Bobby Clarke"
Not a fan of Clarke at all. I guess he was the type of player you hated but would love to have on your team. Terry O'reilly comes to mind as another.
