Clark to Run Offence

OK. I loved Glenn Clark as a player. He shut down the opposing offence more often then not, scored some goals, got some loose balls and had an intangible factor of +3.7 (for being a teacher, for being Canadian, but loses some points for being kind of tall and not stout).

But why the hell is he running the offence? The guy played defence for most of his career. I am not saying that defencemen don't know the offensive side of the ball, but lets be honest, at this point in the season, there is not time for Clark to implement new systems. Even with Ratcliff and the Rock's shitty performance this past weekend. Will Bob Watson have to hold Chicago to 3 goals for the win on Saturday?

The only positive out of this is that Mike Kloepfer didn't make himself offensive coordinator. That would have been a huge fucking disaster. Not only would the Rock's offence struggle to score even more, the structural integrity of the ACC's home bench would be compromised.

Sorry for the lack posts. The guys on NLL Insider have been reasonable this week. I have also been quite busy. More to come in the next few days.

*Note: intangible factor completely made up
