from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
I reached out Monday to three former Flyers captains, Bob Clarke, Eric Lindros and Keith Primeau, to get a sense of what it’s like to be team captain in Philadelphia, long known as a tough sports town.
“Things were a lot different when I was captain,” Clarke, now a senior vice president with the team, told ESPN.com. “In those days, if you played poorly, it was pointed out, but there wasn’t so much individual criticism and stuff like there is now.”
Primeau loved being captain in Philadelphia.
“I personally felt that I was able to thrive under it,” Primeau said. “I tried to wear my emotion and my heart of my sleeve.”
The Big E? He did chuckle when asked whether he had “fun” as Flyers captain.
