He is our Captain and leader.
He is highly respected by his teammates and the coaching staff and ownership.
He has been playing with an injury all year and it has caught up to him. It is time to take care of it and then have him come back to play when he is 100% healthy. I am hopeful he can come back and give us a lift in the playoffs, too.
We have depth in our lineup. It is better for our team to dress and play healthy players than it is to risk further injury to our captain.
Send Chris your best wishes here via our comments section.
Clarkie,
We hope your surgery goes well. Get better soon! We know you want to get back to playing hockey! Enjoy your recovery watching hockey with your family. Best of luck!
Get well, Captain Chris! We support you 100%. George
Clarkie, you’re amazing for trying to stick in there and play through the pain, but we need ya healthy. Wish you a fast recovery, and hope to see you soon! Let’s go Caps!
A healthy Clark is a 15-25 goal guy…it was obvious he was playing through injury again this year….
Get well soon!
So unfortunate, a healthy Clark is exactly what the Caps need in the playoffs. See you in the finals Chris!
Get better soon, Chris. We need you and miss you on the greatest team in the NHL. Go CAPS!!!!!
