Hey! They are interviewing Clark Wilm on 960 right now.
One of the guys in the Young Guns era who gave an honest effort each night.
Says his first moment of it being real was his first game at the Saddledome. Flames fan growing up.
Mentions Derek Morris, Marty St. Louis, COry Stillman, Iginla amongst others. Buddies on the team included Jason Weimer, Cale Hulse - great group of guys who were the same age.
Would have been nice to win a lot more games but guys went on from Calgary to have very successful careers.
Comment that the theme from players from this era was that Sutter told them to have their fun, but everyone is in it together. Seems to be a bond with the crew. Spent a lot of time together away from the rink. Different era. No cell phones - no pictures - could go out with 10 or 15 guys and no one cared, no issues. Really built comaraderie. Feels bad for guys now because they can't go out in a big group without drawing a big crowd.
