A lot of potential for a Wednesday. Clackson better be dressed but honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if Hershey scratched their top fighter against the toughest team in the league.

I have been to 4 or 5 Hershey home games this year and haven't seen Clackson play yet. This years Bears squad isn't anything even close to the teams we've seen over the past 5 years in any aspect of the game and especially toughness. The last time I remember the team being this soft was back when Boudreau was still coaching. The team was playing like this and Boudreau went and dug up John Erskine. This year they have Clackson but just don't dress him. Sunday's game against the Sharks was the most physical game I've seen the Bears play this year but that still didn't amount to much. At least the one fight they had was instigated by a Bear. There is a fan line in our local paer where readers can call in and comment about sports. There's a comment in there today that says something about the Bears not hitting or playing physical and getting run out of their own building. I don't know how soon we'll see change of any sort because the fan base around here is so loyal to their team that attendance is still around 10,000 for every game.

And remember last time they played, ex Tiger Steve Oleksy got into it with Casey Cizikas prompting Brett Gallant to go absolutely nuts and challenging him in the penalty box. I sure hope they dress Clackson tonight.

They scratched Clackson when Bport was in town the last time. Gally was dressed and was actually playing great haha. He had a few scoring chances and a semi dangle.

Saw Clackson Sunday on the concourse during warmups, didn't look happy at all. Oh and Berry who I'm guessing was playing in his place just got demoted too.

Last time Clackson was dressed Hershey won as well over WB/S.

[IhateLindros]

Clackson is out there for warmups.
