Don Saleski from the legendary Broad Street Bullies joined us in studio!

Saleski also gave us his thoughts on the Flyers this season, John Tortorella, the job Danny Briere and Keith Jones have done in the front office, the game today, the current playoff push in the NHL and a ton more!

Did you ask him about his wife ordering him not to fight, making him an invisible player for the last 4-5 years of his career?
