The great detail about that, according to The Philadelphia Flyers at 50 is that Clarke didn't even have to remember. He only had to look.
From the book:
The Flyer brain trust then gave their pick to the messenger and walked to the stage.
"I remember I said to Clarkie, probably four times, 'From Gatineau of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, Claude Giroux,'" recalls Holmgren. "And once you are up there, it's on the screen in front of you. If you forget, just look down."
Clarke not only forgot Giroux's name, he failed to remember to look down.
"Philadelphia selects from Gatineau of the Quebec League..." the GM said, before freezing. "I forget," he said as he turned to Holmgren and asked, "Who did we take?"
"Claude Giroux," Clarke finally said with a self-deprecating chuckle.
"Right up there on the board in front of me and I didn't look," Clarke laughs today. "I just went blank."
Edit: Formatting. I can't do that well.
