Blue Jackets @ Leafs - Mar. 3rd, 7:00pm - SN, SN 590

Clarkson's hysterical.

 

[Kin]

Clarkson's hysterical.

Skating into the zone by himself I'm more or less equating the chance of an offensive opportunity being generated as I would if it were Orr.

 

[lamajama]

Unless the Cap is the reason, with Orr injured and FML on waivers, this is the ideal time to try a 4th line that could actually contribute.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Clarkson's hysterical.

Let me needlessly hit this guy when Gleason already has him and free up this other man for a potential 2 on 1.

 

[Britishbulldog]

I think that Bodie has made McLaren disposable. He has had good hockey instincts and GREAT skating ability.  That is what I was hoping we'd see this year from McLaren.

Too bad.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

There was some nice passing by the 2nd PP unit, but I don't think there was ever a Leafs player within 5 feet infront of Bobrovsky.

Yeah, that was bad. The guy has 0 hockey sense.

Clarkson is really bad.

 

[Kin]

It's an unfair comparison I know but it is pretty hard to look past how much poorer the quality of play is in a game like this than it was in the Olympics.

Clarkson is really bad.

Normally with mediocre-to-bad players I just don't care about them (Jonas Hoglund was an example).  I actually overtly dislike Clarkson.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Like that didn't get knocked in by accident when everyone saw the puck laying there.

It's amazing that he doesn't get treated by the fans at the ACC the way some other players have when they didn't live up to expectations.

Or even the media.

Even the media seems to be giving him a free pass.  Remember how awful Grabovski was last year?

 

[Britishbulldog]

I wish that JVR would stop trying that between the legs move beside the net.  It is a very low percentage option.

 

[Kin]

Regardless of how bad Clarkson's been the fact remains that he's a local guy who took less money to sign here in the offseason. That's going to buy someone a lot of time.

Yeah. I mean, he's ungood and he's also a major stumbling block in the way of the Leafs improving themselves. It's really a bad combination.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Probably as good a percentage as any other play from that position.  He's had good success with it.

Grabovski's +/- was brought up so many times.  Clarkson's a -5.  And has 10 points.

I agree.  It's unfortunate.
