"We've been to the Finals so many times and played so good and so hard and didn't quite get it done," said Clarke, the Flyers' senior vice president. "It pisses me off that teams try to lose continually to come up with the Crosbys . . . and Malkins" in the draft.
Clarke, of course, was talking about Pittsburgh stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
"The Flyers have never intentionally tried to lose. That would put a foul taste in my mouth," Clarke said. "Who wants to be a part of any organization like that? I wouldn't want to be."
