Slightly early, but I won't be on at midnight, Hopefully 11pm is ok.

Did you see that fight last night?

Love Dano, always will us Newfs stand together. But it's some sad to see where he is today as a player compared to a couple years ago. He just can't skate or keep his balance well enough anymore to warrant decent ice time. Still a decent penalty killer, thinks the game well, but the body is broken down. He should be on the 4th line rotation, and nothing more. I hope Babs gets him away from Datsyuk.

this has been touched on before.... but the unfortunate side effect of this situation is that a lot of hate for hollan and babcock gets displaced onto cleary. i don't blame clear for wanting to come back to detroit. nor do i blame him for skating on whatever line he is told to be on. what angers me is that our gm would sign cleary knowing the roster problems it would create. the sad thing is that cleary isn't the worst contract up there as sammy is millions times worse. the issue is exacerbated by babcock. instead of playing cleary like the 4th liner he is getting paid to be, he gets put out there in quality minutes with top tier linemates. so i blame our gm for a bad signing and i blame our coach for misusing players. unfortunately, the player is the one that takes the blame publicly.

Well, if there are other examples of Brad Stuarts we should be signing them.

Yes, this is to avoid anymore reprimand for our endless stream of whining, dissing, complaining, and flat out bitching about none other than Daniel Cleary. This is your place to kick off your shoes, sit back, and take a few pot shots at the NHL's least valuable player. So stay a while, let the anger flow freely, becuase this is our special place to rip the man apart.

How about "Man I get so sick of hearing about Daniel Cleary all the time, why is he always in the spotlight, hey NHL, guess what? Other people play in this league too! Talk about Sidney Crosby for a change!"

Welcome to Arby's. You say you want free curly fries because Cleary scored a hat trick last night?

They will teach the precious...

Pavel Datsyuk is the best player in the AHL.

What I'd really like to see - as an "experiment," if you like - is Z and D each sort of mentoring one of Gus/Tats, taking them under their wings, molding them into potential future Euro Twins. If that makes any sense.

Lidstrom will have a harder time getting through this dead hooker scandal.

Man where are all the line threads on LGW.......

Larry Murphy doesn't love hot dogs.

I keep misreading this thread as "Other Examples Of Brad Stuarts?"

I watch the suggested lines from respectable members of this community and of course I know what lines Babs rolls. It's awkward that about 90% of the suggestions on the forums are far superior to Babs' lines. There's a lot of talented players on this roster, and not a lot of ways to make lines that scream "WTF?", yet Babs delivers time and time again.

The NHL can't put people into prison. lol The article also indicates that this is a two-way street, and they both have a mutual history of this back and forth domestic crap. That doesn't excuse anything, but puts things into perspective, that this was just one more of many fights these two have gotten into. I think we have all encountered a couple like this before in our life, where all they do is fight, argue and occasionally get into physical altercations...and yet they stay together, because they are both insane, or just love living in that type of environment.

While I understand, I think Cleary is topic-centric to everything Wings related this season. e.g. This thread wouldn't exist without Cleary being on the team.

Great. Just !@#$ing great. I don't know what Babcock is smoking. This is ridiculous. There is not a single forward on the team who would not do better than Dan Cleary on that line. And what's with the talk that Cleary needs to be better? What about the game in which he was scratched? What has he shown by way of improvement since then? Absolutely nothing! And now he's promoted to the first line? I wish one of the guys in the press conference would ask why the single worst forward on the team, one of such limited offensive ability that even the coach---his self-professed biggest fan---does not give him any power play time, is playing with Pavel Datsyuk. Even Samuelsson would be better.

I miss Boyd Devereaux and Tomas Kopecky

Florida just needs to fold. Seattle would welcome a team.

Does anyone know a possibilty to watch this in Europe ?

whats wrong with HBO?
