Ottawa Senators winger Clarke MacArthur must make the toughest call of his life and retire from hockey

Dion Phaneuf would like everybody to hold their horses.

“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” the Senators newest assistant captain said Tuesday when asked about the well being of his cousin …. and then whatever will the team do without him. Otherwise known as the two most pressing questions of the day.

“Let’s just see where he’s at,” continued Phaneuf. “I talked to him, yeah. I’m not going to speak for him, but I did see him. I got to spend some time with him. I’m just hoping he has a speedy recovery.”

Ditto. You’ve heard this over and over, but it’s true - everybody who knows Clarke MacArthur cares more about the person than Clarke MacArthur the hockey player right now.
