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

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!

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.

Holland to Nyquist: "You sunk my battleship..."

Datsyuk what else can you say, the greatest there is.

Can someone please go back and find out how many games were decided by Quincey and Cleary screwing up? Not just their +/-, but let's say if we lost by one goal and Cleary or Quincey were -1. I bet most of our games are lost by these clowns.

OK, enough is enough. Cleary needs to be on the bench. How in the world can he be on the same line as Pavs??? He is a liability and has thus far done nothing. Seriously, what does he add? Once again he is looking over-matched on the ice. I would rather have Miller on that line. It is soooooo PAINFUL to watch Cleary.

All of a sudden Cleary is going to make Datsyuk useless because of his turnovers. They will be defending the entire time even though they are the 2nd line.

He scored too quick. Send him back down

14 needs to go back to GR obviously.
