A Bobby Ryan Exclusive

In yet another exclusive interview done by The Orange Update, Anaheim Ducks right winger Bobby Ryan was generous enough to call in to another installment of Buzz On Broad Radio featuring the crew from The Orange Update.

Danny Ricciardi (@BuzzOnBroad) along with Sean Betesh (@215cash), Frank Vuotto (@feelgoodfrank), and Ebbon Derr (@ebbonderr) got to talk hockey, superstitions, hockey history, and the ties to Philadelphia with the Cherry Hill, NJ born and raised Ryan.

It was truly a professionally conducted interview, done more to allow our listeners and readers to get to learn about life as a professional athlete in the NHL, rather than to cross any lines that flirt with anything that would put Bobby in a compromising postition.

However, Claude Giroux was the 1st non-Duck he mentioned as a player he would most like to play on a line with. And for what it’s worth, he was born and raised with Philadelphia Flyers ties. He knows his hockey history in Philadelphia, was very close with Bobby Clarke growing up, and idolized guys like John LeClair growing up.

His favorite coach he’s ever played for was Kevin Dineen and he even used to play pickup basketball with Paul Holmgren at the age of 15.

Bobby Ryan was about as classy and professional as it gets, and we guarantee you love the guy after listening to our interview.

We’d LOVE to have him here in Philadelphia. And we’d like to extend our biggest thanks to him for dedicating his time to give a radio spot to a few guys from his hometown. You can listen to the full length interview directly below!

You can also follow every show through (if you don’t get a chance to listen live) through our podcast on iTunes and through the “Buzz On Broad Radio” link in the navigation bar above.
