Ranger has been solid tonight. Actually, for the last couple games.

Ranger has been solid tonight. Actually, for the last couple games. 

I think he's been pretty good ever since getting back into the line-up as the 7th defenceman.

 

[2badknees]

I have to say, Kadri goes down about as much as F-Doo.

The difference is Kadri draws a lot of penalties from doing that. Clarkson doesn't.

Not so frequently anymore.  I'm not calling him a diver, but I think he's got a rep for going down fairly easily.

Anyway, not really comparing their overall value in any way.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with Kadri in the offseason. His value skyrockets and declines on a weekly basis.

Mike Johnson still looks like he's 21.

He's still among the league leaders in penalties drawn. If he has that rep, it really hasn't hurt him in terms of his ability to draw a penalty in relation to anyone else in the league.

Give him a few more years in the league, and it will.

Definitely. Clarkson's been a little better last few games, but objectivity is tough sell around here.

No it doesn't.  At least not to a GM with half a brain it doesn't.  Maybe to Garth Snow.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Oh, there's Kadri. I didn't know he was even playing tonight. Invisible.

Probably because he's getting the 2nd least amount of ice time.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Troy Bodie leads all Leafs in even-strength ice-time. 2nd to Kessel in all-game situations.

What does this mean?  Clarkson isn't going to suddenly get praised for a couple games where he marginally improved.  This isn't a player who had been playing really well having a slump where they would get the benefit of the doubt.  Not sure what the objectivity comment means, if everyone was praising him there would be objectivity issues.

Do not get me wrong, he is playing awful, his contract is awful, i was just saying that it was quite a thing he did out there, that?s all.

You'd think so, but, lots of players in the league have the reputation as divers and they still draw a lot of penalties.

And he has made every second count.

D'Amigo is lowest around 4:00 then Kadri at 7 something - but crazy after 2 periods everyone has quite a bit of ice-time.
