I'm somewhat disappointed in Clarkson so far, but I'm giving him until the end of NEXT season before I write him off.
- As_I_See_It

He should have a solid 50 games in by then...combined....over 2 seasons...total...oh forget it.

Is there a worse line then Orr-Smithson-McClaren in the NHL? Has there ever been? Brutal.. Even if they play 2 minutes
- LeafsFan64

no....this is the bottom of the barrel and embarrassing.

thats enough with the phallic references folks

What the (frank) did I get myself into?

Go with an detached. They tend not to want to put their shoes and coat on to come 'check' on you.

Agreed, its like my Island.

Maybe the real David Clarkson will step up tonight with a hat trick

I read the phalic comment, then the detached comment and thought of this song....

After ripping him all season, I wanted to be positive.

I didn't have the same thought.

I know, I should give him some time. Its not like he is playing poorly defensively or offensively, he just plain looks lost.

without Clarkson 15-5-2

i'd like to see him go for a stretch without it being interrupted by injury or suspension

he also seems to have his linemates changed up a lot.

i'll cut him some slack.. also..since he's last been in RC seems to have activated the forecheck a bit more.. which will be more up clarkson's game style

Agreed, but like Senstroll points out. He may need to get injured, f they go in the tank again.

The thing with Clarkson is he isn't going to really live up to expectations of 30 goals. Maybe 20-25 (*edit: likely FARRRR less) and some grit, but that's what he is as a player.

Hating it, ripping on him, etc, while justified, is not really going to amount to anything. We are stuck with the mother(frank)er for 6 more years.

May as well hop aboard the Wendave Clarkson train!

Wendel Clark was awesome.

I'm still baffled that some people actually expected Clarkson to be that 20-30 goal scorer even if there was no indication that he would whatsoever.

*Hops on but nothing's happening* Maintenance!!!

RC: Smithson go punch out Thomas so we can get Clemmenson back in there

Smithson: OK COACH

What.. I thought Smithson was gone for good
