for the team. >> that's exactly right. saturday it was the captain who made sure that snider was a big part of the team celebration in the locker room. skbr mr. snider, got the whole team here, a big win. we missed you in this room. we're playing for you. >> how often is that. the team was struggling back in december but that's when they met with snider at his home and took this final team picture with him. they went 26-12-7 after that, a push that has been and will continue to be inspired by snider. >> he's a philadelphia flyers. he started the whole thing and he will always be the guy that kind of brought that to the city and he's a really good man. pretty glad we were able to make the playoffs for him. the whole year we were playing for him and that's not going to change for the playoffs. >> though we'll be playing with

heavy hearts, you know, we're going to do everything we possibly can to be successful in the playoffs because that's what mr. snider would want. i know there is nothing else that he wanted to see more than the flyers to win another stanley cup. >> never wanted to disappoint him. obviously we were thinking about mr. snider all season. it's a sad day today and -- obviously will be dedicated to mr. snider. >> coming up later, more reaction from the sports world, locally and nationally. to the passing of ed snider. danny pommells. back to you. >> thanks so much. john clark is joining us from south philly. john, you got to know ed snider very well but not through hockey. tennis, right? >> yeah. we would see each other playing at penn all the time. he was in such good shape he really loved tennis and he was

just as competitive at tennis. if they were keeping score he was so competitive. he would see during games when he was there, in his owner's box, it was tough to sit around him people would say because during the play he was so into the game. we were talking to the phillies chairman dave montgomery here. he had ed snider to a few phillies games but he said a couple times ed would invite him to hockey games but he didn't want to sit with ed because you really couldn't talk to ed during the game. he was that into it and fired up. ed snider was the ultimate competitor. and in my eyes the most important sports figure here in philadelphia over the last 50 years, brought hockey to our town, built the spectrum, comcast sportsnet, wip, many other things. he is up there in our city's history with importance as far as sports figures. >> talk to us more, john, about personal interactions and what those interactions with snider

taught you about his personality when it comes to sports, business, the community, how did he make all this work? how did he galvanize the community to get his vision seen in philadelphia? >> passion, energy, and being genuine. you know, we don't think of ed snider being from somewhere else. he is from washington, d.c. but he came here and he wanted to start a hockey team so bad he mortgaged his home. and in everybody that he dealt with, he looked you right in the eye, he was very direct, he was always very honest. he gave you honest, direct answers, he was very genuine in everything he did. he had a passion, a passion to get things done. that goes towards his youth hockey foundation, in his later years, early '70s, he wanted to build a legacy and he said his legacy is the youth hockey foundation and he went full bore into that, donated $6 million of his own money.

opened up rinks all over so inner city kids could be introduced to the sport he loved. with anything he did in his life, he did it full competitiveness and i'll tell you, he was a special man. he really defined this city and he was like a fan owning the flyers. that was his beloved team. when he was in the owner's suite or after games he was like all of the fans watching the team play. >> such a great legacy, he has left, john. thank you. appreciate it. ed snider as you probably know now was fighting bladder cancer for the last couple years. today we spoke with a doctor of mercy fitzgerald hospital about this disease. he said there are often no symptoms but there are some things you should look out for. >> you could have pain, you could have problems urinating, and you can have discomfort, irritation of the pelvis. but it's bleeding that is the first sign. >> the doctor tells us that

smoking is one possible cause of bladder cancer and right now there is no test to detect the disease. people across philadelphia have been posting about ed snider on social media all day long. take a look at this photo. it shows snider with flyers great bobby clark, the owner and the player, helped the flyer it is become the first expansion team to win the stanley cup in 1974, and then they won it again the next year in 1975. and another piece of art posted by our partners at comcast sportsnet t flyers logo composed of words found describing snider, the biggest words, thanks, loyal leader, and legend. finally, the flyers posted this tribute. ed snider, always a flyer. you can see more tributes on nbc10.com and the nbc 10 app. you can also post your own thoughts on our facebook and twitter pages. let's get you up to date on

50s in the afternoon. then wednesday, 58. the rest of the week pretty close to that. slightly below average. the temperatures right now are generally in the 60s. we have some upper 50s in pottstown, allentown, reading and at the shore. atlantic city and wildwood with the strong southerly wind coming in off of that 48 degree ocean, that doesn't add up to a warm wind flow. you can see it coming straight out of the south-southwest, and it's dead calm in reading and in pottstown but it's really windy elsewhere in the area. look at these gusts. currently gusting to 31 miles an hour in dover. and that, of course, is bringing up the warm air. that's going to stay with us all night. you can see a couple little showers right in extreme northern bucks county. that is moving out. we have dry weather for several hours and then we wait for this next area. that's a pretty solid area of rain. a little bit heavier patches from time to time, and that will
