At the time he signed the contract it seemed like a steal for how he played and how important he was to the team, but since then he has a couple of injuries that seems to have shaken his confidence to none and with the improving play of Filppula and the emergence of Franzenstein, coupled with the fact we have Leino, Helm, Abdelcader, Ritola all waiting in the minors who could play at the NHL level now, it surely does make that large contract of Cleary expendable, especially considering Clearys dismall offensive showings. He has been playing OUTSTANDING defense, simply outstanding work, but the fact he only has 4 points and is a -4 is what makes him expendable.

I'd also say because they know the system. These young guys have GREAT energy and bring tons of excitement, but they need to get the system down better and they will be mainstays when they do so.

Weak call Edit: nevermind

Decent game so far. Could be more up tempo, let's hope the Wings get a couple goals before the period ends =)

Should have brought up last night's GDT, I said it in there right after the injury

I know this is chick golf and I bet no one watches it, but I found this article interesting to be honest linkski I wouldn't mind if they did this to baseball, and who knows, it could start becoming the norm for all pro sports in the next decade.

I like the jersey, i just wish that the logo didn't look screen printed

He just got knocked the F out. Great hit, perfectly clean, reminds me of Kope in the sense he always has his head down.

Damn Sa-weet Didn't watch it, MLB postseason is on!

That's not true, but everything else you said is. Griffins are the Wings AHL affiliate, no one elses. Dallas had to loan out their non-parent club players to AHL teams and since Stafford is familiar with the Griffins they chose to send him to the Griffins on loan. technically, we could do the same thing with our AHL players, they don't NEED to be sent to the griffins, we could loan out our players to other AHL teams if we wanted.

Franzen left tonight's game with a knee injury. If a top two line player goes out, you don't replace him with a Maltby. If Franzen does miss a game or two, Hudler will probably be moved back to the second line and Malts will be put on the fourth line. This might be when Downey gets a call up to sit in the pressbox.

Hossa decides enough is enough.

Let's go Hossa!

COME ON HUDS!!!!

Ew, awful attempt by Hank

Nope, he sneezed when he meant to say Hossa. He sneezed Huds!!

Don't feel good going into a shootout with the Hawks. Let's see some Hossa, Datsyuk, Hank, Flip and Huds Dangles

That's what we call stick-n-puck and drop-in

Good ole' Black Betty drinking game.

Let's go Red Wings! De-troit Suck!

Sucks when the Wings only play 20 minutes worth of hockey. Lets get it done in the OT!!!

Sounds good! Booo, let's hope not!

We still win. I think the team has a case of the Haseks. They are just bored out there and winning on talent alone.

Those Hawk fans LOVE banging against the glass, anyone notice that?

This must be the leagues new way of making games higher scoring, give more 5 on 3s.
