Dave Poulin-just an amazing guy! Never drafted, but at age 25 was named the Flyers captain - the torch handed to him by the great Bobby Clarke. Dave talks to us about his time in Sweden and how that shaped him as a captain, what it was like being the liaison between the players and coach Mike Keenan, the weight of trying to live up to the Broad Street Bullies, how amazing Ed Snider was, and some more insight into the behind the scenes respect shown to my dad at the Winter Classic. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
