Clarke MacArthur isn't fond of his final days in Toronto and his lack of a relationship with former coach Randy Carlyle had a lot to do with that. "I didn't have a relationship with him, and not many guys do," MacArthur said of Carlyle. "He runs the show there, and everyone knows that, and that's the way it is. It's worked for him in the past, he's got a Cup from that, but at the same time there's other ways to do things, too." He didn't like being scratched in the playoffs either and knew he was done with the Maple Leafs once that happened. MacArthur signed a two-year deal with Ottawa in the summer and he'll play against his ex-teammates and Carlyle on Saturday night.
