All that's missing now is a compliment from some of you guys.

Speaking of wonders...:-D

Rich, what day you pick for the St. Lawrence-Ices-Over-Solid pool? Is it still a school holiday?

I think we've given you quite a number of 'compliments' in the same style you just gave to the Faithful. You just don't look at them that way. It's all in the eye of the beholder ;-)

 Do you pronounce danis like dan-ee or like danish with an "s" instead of an "sh"?  cause on sportscenter they did the first one, but i always thought it was the second one.[/q]

Well, that was the joke, see.  "Danis" doens't really rhyme with "anus".

There's gotta be an "around the bowl, down the hole" joke in there somewhere.

Looks like the people who count (NHL scouts) believe Nickerson has skills.  [/q]

Not really, unless you count "being big" a skill.

[Rich S]

If you read that report, you'll note that it states: "He is good in the defensive zone, especially punishing opposing forwards along the boards and in front of the net."  Any coach can tell you that that is a skill that requires more than simply size.

Also: "His second season was improvement enough to draw scouts' attention. Not only did his offensive output increase markedly..."

Clearly the scouts thought he had enough skills and upside potential to warrant being drafted.  There are plenty of guys with size and stength alone that are never drafted.

You may not ::rolleyes:: like the guy but at least acknowledge that his attractiveness to the pros go beyond merely his size.

[Rich S]

ben, sometimes that smilie just fits.  And "sometimes" is often when it comes to many of the comments you guys make about Clarkson folks on this board.

I've finally figured it out!  Rich S is a soap opera.

Not because he's his own long-lost twin or has bad theme music, or something... but because you could stop watching him for a year or two, then go back, and he'd be delivering exactly the same old predictable storylines and scripts.

That last part fits you to a T.

Wow. I woulda figured you could do better than "I know you are, but what am I?" Guess you do have a surpise now and again.

Well said, I was about to post the exact same thing.  Glad I read ahead.
