I really despise Dan Cleary, and Babcock's inexplicable devotion to him is beginning to seriously perturb me. I understand that Quincey must play, as there are no other defensemen available. But it was clearly unnecessary for Cleary to be on this team to begin with, let alone playing in every game, let alone playing on the first line. It is a !@#$ing travesty. Put ANY FORWARD but Cleary there. LITERALLY ANY OF THEM. Every single one forward on this team would do better than him. This is not an exaggeration, and it makes the issue infuriating.

it's Haiku time! We're better with Gus The writing is on the wall Get rid of Cleary

Dan Cleary is Datsyuk kryponite

He obviously isn't going to score like he did in Grand Rapids without all the PP time.

Two terrible shifts by Cleary and Quincey. Faaaaaantastic. Oh, and it's a first NHL goal. How typical.

Smith is really looking good. Starting to slow the game down and make the smart play, hope he keeps it up.

I don't care what anyone says, listening to how much Mick loves commentating Wings game adds to the experience. Love the guy, lets go!

Somewhere ken holland is banging his head on a table repeatedly.

Now Babs will just switch Cleary and Tatar everything would be right with the world for one night.

Nyquist just gave the finger to the whole redwings orgnization and asked how does my ass taste

NYQUIST!!!! f*** you Holland!

He scored 2 goals. Getting too cocky. Send him down

Babcock and Holland should be fired for sitting this kid all season.

Don't be ridiculous it went off a stick and it was a shot from a great spot to begin with, not many goalies in the league would've got that one.

Might as well try my hand at the haiku.Kenny can suck it. Babcock must feel really dumb. Nyquist earned that goal. Completely unrelated but Idk if weve had 16 shots on goal in a first period all season. Not bad!

Well, we looked like a totally different team in that period. In the sense that we looked like a team that knows how to ice skate. I'll take it. However, I'm not really sure why Babs decided to screw around with the lines there at the end of the period...oh wait, I am sure, Babs is an intellectual cripple.

Can't wait to see Weiss and Alfie in for Cleary and Sammy.

I think next period they should use these lines. Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Bertuzzi (already have good chemistry, and D with Z play extremely well) Tatar - Franzen - Nyquist (Franzen plays best as a center, Tatar and Nyquist already have chemistry) Abby - Helm - Sammy (Good pressure line, Abby plays well with Helm. Sammy is at least better than Cleary) Miller - Anderson - Cleary (whatever.)

Add Alfie and Weiss up front, and lose Sammy and Cleary and forgive me for being excited about the forward group.

f*** you holland!!!! Feel it. Do your job.

Wow, Nyquist scoring so fast was definitely a high point in the season so far. Forgive me for actually being excited and forgetting that the Wings blow every single lead they have ever had. Still not giving up hope that we can pull this out against one of the worst teams in the league. LGRW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully that flu bug finds Cleary tonight! (Not hoping for him to get hurt just that he decides to retire and never ruin this lineup again.)

IM SORRY BUT IM ABOUT TO ******* EXPLODE!!! Dan cleary blows a surefire open net goal, quincey does what he lways does and allows them back into the game. And to top it all off franzen is BLATANTLY hooked while on a good scoring chance and NO CALL. JESUS CHRIST. We should be up 4-0

I'd skate right to Babcock and say "anything you ******* need now?". But now he will be benched and Sammy will take his spot.

After reviewing the game we feel Cleary and samuelsson bring more to this team than that kid, what's his name? Number 14

He scored too quick. Send him back down
