I expected him to have way more impact than Kulemin.
- Drapz

NOT being a defensive liability while providing no offense is not really worth a damn to be honest. I'd expect if he isn't adding anything to an offensive effort that he should be providing defensive coverage.

Right now, he is Kulimen minus the defensive ability.

(Don't read this as me giving up on Clarkson. Just my opinion on him so far)

He's played like a $4,000,000 player the last three games, and like a meathead the rest of the season.

Yeah, I can agree with that.

I better be careful with what I say now that the french refs are here... I got booted yesterday for saying the habs were closer to their 2011/12 form right now.

This is funny on so many different levels.

Why do you feel the need to talk about the habs on a Leaf thread?

Leaf thread = Leaf talk if you don't like it go to the Oilers thread.

I'm an English speaking Jew from Montreal, and I live in New York. Make one more comment about something French, and I will give you a three month rip before you can learn to say "calisse de tabarnak".

Hopefully, this is a clear warning for you.

You are in this thread ripping on Clarkson, being a snobby little SOB, and I just wonder why you aren't focused on the Habs and their issues.
- PotvinFan

I come here more often than you think. In fact I appreciate talking hockey with a couple of leafs fans here.

And I don't believe I've been ripping on Clarkson, I've said over the last months what kind of player he is, and his current pace, while slower than it should be, isn't out of norm considering his average.

Stee needs a banning.

You and I could be great allies.

I was merely defending the leafs when a Habs fan did exactly what you speak of. He was trolling the Clarkson talk. I've been talking leafs all afternoon.

Agreed. (Hell just froze over).

I think this is something we can all agree on, something that can bring two nations together in harmony and peace.

I think once we get Kadri and Bozak back, and some regular lines, we may see a more effective offensive game from Clarkson. Leave it at that.

Who the (frank) is talking about Desharnais?

...he is?

Katie, is daddy invisible? Nope.

Ok, Wasn't sure if people were really rating players based on dollar scale now.

awesome story man.

Really?? His post said a guy with 0 goals and 3 assists isn't looking at the stat sheet?
- honesthockey

It is certainly making reference to it, yes. But it doesn't mean he doesn't pay attention to other parts of a player's game.

It's nice that Lupes hasn't gone down, hope he stays healthy this year.

Nevermind. I'm leaving. And I am taking all the other French guys with me.

Can Katie draw a turkey goalie?

Well don't let him win. get back to talking leafs.

So What is wrong with Kessel?

I'm trying to figure out how being an "English speaking Jew" precludes you from speaking French, especially given the Quebecois slang you typed out there.

Thank god he has you here to speak for him....I'm sure he'd be lost without you.

Right, we are agreeing right? And think Clarkson will turn it around.
