Excellent. Regardless of what he brings on the ice (which isn't NOTHING) his dressing room powers are clear.

Love me some Dickie.

 

[Magic Man]

Clune, Cliche and Smith are some awesome AHL signings.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Dickey cluneeee

In lieu of some of the reactions around here to some of the recent Leaf signings, this clip seemed appropriate.

Calling it right now... Dickie plays at least 1 game with the big club this year

He would have to sign an NHL contract then and use one of the 50 slots. Maybe but I don't think so with Martin there now.

Worth it just from his interview last year

doubt they waste the contract spot for that. There's a reason this is an AHL contract

 

[crump]

Good for old Dickie Clune.

 

[timlap]

I like him in the AHL. Good to see the team being careful with NHL contracts.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

happy to have him back. love dickie clune.

[p.l.f.]

he did a good job

 

[RyanOhReally]

Brought this up yesterday or the day before.

Dicky's a good dude. Good to see him back in Toronto, I hope he spends the rest of his career here in some shape or form.

Could be signed at the end of the season to a NHL contract if we see a bit of an exodus.

 

[burpsalot]

Good, I like him with the Leafs organization. He's earned the contract.

 

[LV*]

Give this guy the C if Soupy isnt brought back after this season.

Wasnt dicky the captain of the marlies for a game or two when soups was in the show?

Honestly, he contributes on the ice (at least in the AHL.) He's not a dumb guy, has slightly above average speed, can make a pass, is willing to plant himself in front of the net... he's come a long way from the guy I saw come up with the Kings.

24 points in 49 regular season games, and then a goal and a couple assists in the playoffs... not to mention 5 assists with the Leafs. The guy absolutely did a bit more than "NOTHING" on the ice this season, and his defensive responsibility makes him far less of a liability on the ice than most of the guys he's played with.

From what I've seen of him, he's a better hockey player than Orr or McLaren ever were, keeping in mind I did love those guys during some games. Mostly that 6-0 game against Montreal...

He had a hilarious interview today on TSN1050, complete with a Stone Cold Steve Austin quote.

 

[crump]

"Force my way into their plans"

The guy is gold. "Of the people"

"on the radio last week he told the kids to "train hard or Dickey Clune will be breathing down their necks".


Love his sense of humour, he has the right mix of humility, boastfulness and madness. Always a great interview.

surprising speed too. I think he got a real look this year for that 4 line goon spot and probably could have stuck if not for some bonehead penalties.

he is what he is though. I like the agitation angle, he throws people off their game, he can take the game to a chaotic place when you need a momentum shift. Sometimes none of that works though and hes completely ineffective or detriment.

in a selfish way, I am happy he is back for sound bites
