dont get me wrong i could as well...... its just sad that the organization couldnt surround clayton with players to help win a championship. He has given alot and deserves a championship just sorry to say if he does accomplish that feat it will NOT BE WITH ICT.

Maybe Liebel will show us his ring

I agree with you gametime, but I also think Clayton's best years are far behind him.

2007/2008 Wichita 62 16 34 50 -22
2006/2007 Wichita 64 30 38 68 +7
2005/2006 Wichita 58 27 56 83 +5
2004/2005 Wichita 60 39 54 93 +38

A 60 +/- turnaround from 2004/2005 until 2007/2008

43 less points.

He did not even get 20 goals this year. Did not get 20 goals.

That I have a problem with.

fair point ..... some would say cause SPUDA was out so much...
but you have to admit it has to be tough on him always having different linemates and what not. Again i know his production wasnt what we all thought it should be, but the guy has a ton of heart and plays like there is no tomorrow.
