Clarke. You're a beauty. I love u.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

His work ethic is awesome.

I rarely hear myself yelling at him through my TV

 

[Icelevel]

that last game. guy was moving

 

[DuckedUpOnQuack]

I'm still amazed Toronto let him go, and even more amazed at how little it cost to sign him. Wish he had a letter on his chest

Thats what happens when you play a skilled forward in your bottom 6, less ice time reduces their overall productivity and ability to get into the game, and playing with actual bottom 6 forwards creates less scoring opportunities for the guy. We got a gem, 30 goals isn't out of the question for MacArthur.

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

For all the focus on good drafting crazy that we got Mac and Turris - arguably our best two forwards - for so little. Mac was a bargain UFA and Turris cost us a bust prospect and a 2nd, crazy.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

The best part is him re-signing with us.

The guy plays the game beautifully. Great leadership, great IQ, great skills and excellent chemistry with Turris which makes a legit top line tandem.

How good can he get with us?

I'd so more accurately the best part is rubbing it in the faces of Leafs fans

 

[HockeySens]

Amazing signing

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

Leafs fans held high opinions of Mac in the original thread when he signed here last summer. It was Sens fans who were ripping him, unfairly but understandably since the bitterness of the Alfie situation was still strong. Not many were in a logical thinking mood.

Best part of that thread was the prophecy delivered by BankStreetParade

This is a very good underrated signing. Guy can score goals, is young and fast. 60+ points 2 seasons ago. Those are great numbers. For some odd reason I feel that him and Turris will have great, great chemistry.

 

[costermonger]

That was an excellent prediction.

The guy just plays the game the right way. He's good in all situations and works hard. And he clearly likes it here. Great signing.

 

[coladin]

I love watching him skate, he empties the tank every freaking shift.

 

[Slow Hands]

When I grow up I want to be Clarke MacArthur

Tied with Karlsson actually.

And yeah, he's been phenomenal. Imo he's been our est forward so far (more consistant than Turris and Ryan)

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Reminds me of a lesser Alfredsson

I was just about to post Alfie-lite but a little tougher. Mac is actually a pretty good fighter although he rarely drops them.

 

[thesensguy]

Honestly our best player this season thus far (minus the goalies). I jumped for joy when he was resigned,my buddy who I was with didn't care much. To think that him and Michalek are making almost the same as of next year and Michalek is making more this year....

 

[tony d]

Really like the guy, he's doing amazing for us.

 

[Samsquanch]

I remember my boss (a leafs fan) told me the day after we signed him that he would be on of my favorite senators by the end of his contract. He was totally right.

Its still a compete shock to me that the leafs let him go, or how he could end up in Carlyle's doghouse.

That's why its so quietly.

 

[KarlssonMarx]

MacArthur is the best UFA singing in the history of our organization...by FAR

I was happy when we singed him because he was one of the few leafs players I ever liked. But I still never expected him to be this good

My uncle, a Bruins fan believe it or not, told me he's always liked Clarky ever since the WJC the day we found out that the Sens signed him. He's watched a lot of hockey.

Ever since then I never had a doubt in my mind Clarky would be good, but it's definitely nice seeing it with my own eyes.

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

I actually remember MacArthur from the 2005 WJC, due to the lockout it was the biggest hockey event of the year. That was the first time I was made aware of him, and I remember him playing a solid game and getting his fair share of praise. I think he was on the 3rd line but he and his linemates (Colliton and Fraser was it?) were dominating most of their shifts.

That was such an insane WJC team. It was the perfect storm as it coincided with the last year the deep 2003 draft class was eligible to play WJC on top of a lockout, which forced all those CHLers to stay in the CHL where they would definitely be released by their teams to play for the national squad. And of course it also had Crosby. I don't think the stars will ever align that well again to create a WJC powerhouse.

 

[jbeck5]

The guy just scored again.
