Just like old times

Tonight's Flyers game features the return of Bill Clement to the team's broadcast booth. Play-by-play man Jim Jackson said during the intro that Clement, the Flyers' first-round pick (18th overall) in the 1970 draft, will fill in for Keith Jones when Jones is working as a studio analyst for the Versus network. Clement will do nine Flyers broadcasts, according to a news release on the Flyers Web site.

The move harks back to 1989-92, when Clement and Mike Emrick were the Flyers' broadcasting team on PRISM and WPSG-TV Channel 57. Those two were, and still are, among the best voices in the sport.
