And yet he’s in the NHL.

Wow, yeah, because there’s never been an NHL player who didn’t have any hockey sense.

Clark is worth every penny and I know a little something about hockey and playing defense.

Obviously, you don’t.

The contract may take him through his prime years, but that doesn’t mean it was a good idea to double his already grossly-inflated salary.

Man, I cannot stand these ridiculous pom-pon wavers.

Clark is worth every penny and I know a little something about hockey and playing defense. Surprisingly, I’m not livid. That contract will take him through the prime years of a defender. The only player that was “AWFUL” on that line was Karlis Skrastins. And by Awful, I mean he was just mediocre but playing against first line talent so he looked awful. Hopefully, he played hurt on a bad knee to get his record and he will be much better this season.

“Not so much as a modicum of hockey sense in his entire body.”

And yet he’s in the NHL. He must be sleeping with the boss’ daughter.

If by “dramatic,” you mean “accurate,” then you might have a point.

Pretending that re-signing Clark at even his 06-07 salary (much less more than doubling it) was a good move is like pretending that JoeTed was a Vezina contender last season.

Brett Clark is fucking AWFUL. Very very bad defensively. Above average to good offensively. Not so much as a modicum of hockey sense in his entire body. Average skating.

Giving him anything more than #6 minutes is a recipe for disaster. The guy is horrible. FG saw fit to give the worthless puke a raise, and you’re drinking his Kool-Aid.

It’s just like those Aebi Pom-Pon Squad idiots a couple years back. Just because he wears an Avs uni doesn’t mean he’s good.

stop being so dramatic

People who actually watch the team play, have played themselves (especially defense), and know a little something about hockey are livid about the Clark overpayment.

Those who just look at the stats love the overpayment.

It all just depends on which column you fall into.
