ravensgurl211 | a 'I love David Clarkson' post:

I love David Clarkson. For those of you who don't know, Clarkson is a forward for the Devils. The first thing I noticed about Clarkson (besides his eyes.... what?! at least it wasn't "his nose") was how much he looks and acts like Scott Stevens. Both are/were very powerful, with a lot of fighting, but enough decent skills that if they felt like it, they could totally score a goal (they'd just rather b-be-aggressive!) and both were from the same area in Canada. Because I notice such things because I think it's important. Turns out, he was more of a Brendan Shanahan fan growing up, but, whatever.

Anyway. The biggest and bestest and greatest reason I love ~~Brendan Shanahan~~ David Clarkson is because of this Q&A:

What music groups do you enjoy listening to in your spare time?

David Clarkson: Guys bug me about it, but I was brought up on Rod Stewart because my dad was born in Scotland. So Rod Stewart, The Proclaimers... but I listen to everything. I'm a fan of Coldplay, too.'

He doesn't know it, but, we need to get married. Pronto. I mean, it's hard enough finding people in my age range who even know who Rod Stewart is, let alone be a man and admit to enjoying his music! (note: I blame my mother for Rod Stewart all the time)

Oh, and I forgot to mention, ha. The original reason I first started paying attention to Clarkson besides his aggressive style (for a rookie at the time) was because he is the splitting image of Jason Arnott. And, dear god, what I wouldn't do to that man[that link is probably NSFW].
