Take a few minutes for this one. Former #CBJ David Clarkson with a rare interview post playing career.
"I think getting into coaching it kind of gave me a purpose. I don't want to say it saved my life but it kind of did."
Ex-#NJDevils David Clarkson has lived a quiet life since his retirement. Appreciate his time & allowing me to share part of his story:

At 37 years old, Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal is having a Stanley Cup Final to remember.
While his main focus is winning games, especially with one win from another Stanley Cup, he has become the Conn Smythe favorite.

Interesting to see Erie take Jake Prunty. Terrific offensive blue liner was a member of the USHL all rookie team and a Clark Cup champion this past year. Would be a HUGE addition if he joins Erie.

My Torts badge of honor came in his first full season with #CBJ. The Blue Jackets were in St. Louis night after 10-0. They lost in OT.
Asked Torts if he was contemplating lineup changes. Said something to effect of "I don't got time for that shit" and stormed off.
