I'd love to see that. I wonder if Avery has the nads to go with Clifford. You have to wonder if any of these guys who have fought him watch video of Clifford before they play him. Just about everyone he has fought has been taken off guard by his style. He just drops the gloves and starts swinging and most of the guys he have fought have not been prepared for that. Carcillo got ****ing rag dolled by him. That was hilarious!
Actually, its not just swinging, thats the point. Its his strength with either arm on the grab. He is really strong and flung Carcillo about getting him off balance and beating him but good. I love Clifford's game and he will only get better and tougher to handle as his body develops more.
My guess is that Avery steers clear, but I'd love to see it. If it happens, I just hope it starts clean, not that cheap*** **** Avery pulled with Smid

Teaching Clifford how to fight in the NHL is probably Westgarth's biggest contribution to the team. I read they work on it after practice on the ice.

Yeah, I'm amazed Westgarth hasn't already been killed.
Besides the FIRST fight with John Scott, can you please show me a video of a fight that Westgarth has flat out lost? I doubt it. We'll see how tough Clifford is if he fights Prust tonight without Westie in the lineup.
Dammit. Luc is going to put tears in my eyes before the game starts >.< <3 Luc. Now, let's win this hockey game! GO KINGS!
