i'm wondering when i'm allowed to bring up Clarkson, just for all the heat I took over my non support of his contract in the summer, and me pointing out his obvious overrated-ness.

at least 5-10 posters told me my mouth would be shut by now, because i'd love him so much I wouldn't care about his contract, like i'd never seen the man play a game before..

Thats a "Gomez" of a contract....

Well... he still has all those intangibles right?

Edit: And hey... it's only 10 games.... maybe I'll be wrong again and he'll pan out being somehow... worth it....?.... Right....?

Say it to his face
- poohcrumbs

I would, but hard to see where exactly it is until he shakes the whole invisible thing.

so he brings some feisty, awesome. that's impossible to find in this league.

it's like locking up Jordan tootoo or cal clutterbuck for 7 years at 5.5 mil at this rate.

not bad with your carter verhaeghe support though leafman.

5th in OHL scoring.. 23GP 16G 22A

Had a feeling about him, he is very similar to Holland, not physical but good hands.

yep millions of intangibles...

connor brown is doing alright too, tops in nhl scoring, although i know it wont translate to the nhl its still nice to see

now's as good a time as any to bring up clarkson and start the 'I-told--you-so' parade.
honestly, everyone knew there was no chance he could live up to that contract.
I can't believe how incredibly ineffective he has been though.....he is definitely making me eat crow so far.

Clean hit.

I still think it's early for me to go there.. but I've got to at some point. the heat I took all summer long for not being on that train was ridiculous. I never bought into the hype.

I always said, he's a fine player.. but he's not going to be duplicating the scoring at any point, and that's the only thing that differentiates him from a 5.5 mil guy, from a 3.5 mil guy.

he'll have one of the poorer contracts in the league within a year or two.

he needs to be put in an offensive role and not so much as a checking role.

Clean hit.

She wasnt even looking his way, cheap shot...Matt Cooke type poop..

reminds me of Kadri on Backstrom, I wonder why she didnt go to the quiet room for testing?

Kessel is playing! Yippee!!

he is exactly the type of player the leafs needed......he just isn't playing up to a level he is capable of yet....but he better soon.
for that money, he has no excuses.

dodgeball, now that's a real man's game. u c chuck say's imright.

damn, you are right.
blindside.
absolutely outrageous he didn't get reprimanded.

in his defense, leafs style of play clashes with his style of play.

if the puck isnt in deep and hes not in the O zone doing what he does best, then hes not being able to cash in on rebounds and creating offensive space for guys like lupul, kadri, kessel, jvr.

we need more puck possession time in the O zone...randy need to tweak this 'system'.

Hey! just to piss off fakepartofme!

Tops in NHL scoring? wow why isn't he playing for the Leafs?!

Hey, maybe they'd do it just to get rid of Luke.

But I doubt it.
