"I never set out to be a star or any of that," said Clarke, "I just wanted to be a good team player on a team that won the Stanley Cup, and I think I accomplished that."
Cataldi mentioned how the fans connected with Clarke because of his hard-nosed style of play.
"We have all tried over the years to come up with the words to describe the feelings you feel when you accomplish a championship with the guys you play with. You are apart of a special group and it takes a special group, special talents, special teams to win that. Obviously it becomes one of the highlights of your life."
Of course with a championship comes a big parade, another memory Clarke will never forget.
"Well I remember leaving the Spectrum and there are people all over the place. The driver said it will thin out as soon as we get out of here, but it never thinned out! The car I was in, they had convertibles. The driver, who was in a new convertible, was worried about his car with people throwing beer and junk in. I never did finish the parade. We eventually got three quarters through and it was so crazy that we had to go back to the Spectrum."
Clarke also talked about beating the Russians, his mother inspiring his competitiveness, his time as GM of the Flyers, and his thoughts on Eric Lindros. He also got a good shot in at former Flyer Keith Jones and bringing him to Philadelphia.
"That was a bad mistake," said Clarke with a chuckle.
