Honestly I had withdrawals. Missed the everyday hilarity and haven't been able to participate in most of the season but I am back with a vengeance! Have to say it tho.....How about Danny Cleary now?!?!!?

I have returned to post sentence fragments and consistently be the biggest Danny Cleary fan on LGW!!!! I have come out of the woodworks boys!!! GO WINGS!!!! (had pc issues) Got tallies from Mule, Abby and EN from Stuie.

Those bolded are the true power forwards in this game right now. We can throw Doan-face, Ovie (also with skill), Latendresse as mentioned, Nash also mentioned, and Horton in there for sure as THE power forwards in this league right now.

Not quite sure its just thinking going back to last season only. They have for the last couple of seasons not clicked nearly as well as the championship year, of course everything went well that year. Personally, the Kronner-Nick pairing has been a thought of mine for some time now and I think what better time to shuffle a bit and see what comes of it. In fact could be the best pairing in the NHL as I see Kronner really stepping into the upper echelon of d-men in this league. Remains to be seen.

I was asking how come you think it's pointless yes. EDIT: definitely wasn't thinking when that one was typed my apologies.

with a little Good grief he is just sick

Would love to see Mo come here and score 20+ goals. On that line with Huds feeding the pill and Clears knocking people on their ass again and fighting hard for the puck...could happen. If Ozzie returns to form that could very well end up being the key to give Jimmy his needed rest toward the end of the year and hopefully coast into the playoffs instead of playing meaningful games at the end of March and beginning of April. bingo bango

According the player's playlist Cleary likes Lady Gaga-Papparazzi.... I love ya Danny but sheesh.

It's an open forum and opinions are obviously allowed (I think ) but how come?? I'm wondering. Raffi and Nick haven't had that chemistry for the last couple of years.

I am almost thinking this could be redundant to put Ericsson on these pairings anyway. Probably Kindl soon enough if he keeps up his s***. Hell, Doug Janik is a solid option on the bottom pair.

days until the season... Sean Avery, Bernie Federko, Don MacLean, Mattias Ritola have all donned this #. Hmm I'll be damned lol offseason is also educational.

Stuie is not a 3rd pairing d-man but I think Lids-Kronner Stuie-Raf Ericsson-Salei Which I guess that 3rd pairing is where everyone s***s their pants and understandably so. But Stuie cannot take 3rd pairing minutes and hopefully Big E grows a sack with Salei next to him.

I don't know man...thinking its blueadams time.

Yeah, well its late not in the mood for debate mode with 1 sentence posters but I can do the whole Eva stats thing if you want. Wouldn't matter. Don't feel like Khabi should be on the top 10 either but don't see Nabby as well. Not a big deal. What about Mikhail Shtalenkov? To me, Nabby has never carried a team to a Cup (and literally) and Khabi was a big part of the Tampa run and has had great seasons previous.

Have to disagree. Khabi-1 Cup Nabby-0. Great list here tho.

And to think thats the franchise thats actually considered WORSE than the Lions now lol.

Got to say if Boogaard is getting 1.625 for 4 years that this guy will find a place and over league minimum without a doubt. Sorry, but I have to base EVERYTHING off that downright insulting contract they gave that guy.

43 days until we get to see this happy exciting duo together on the 4th line. Haha Helm is blinded by the happiness that is PATTY SUNSHINE!

And why not this because it's fun as hell to watch... Clears shall be back

Absolutely to these. Being at the Joe for the Mac-Turtle rematch when they fought right after the faceoff. Just unreal energy there that night. Watching the Stevie banner-raising and also the HOF night at the ACC. Attending the Cup clincher in '02 and thinking about Shanny getting the EN still just brings a big smile to my face. March 22nd Pens-Wings-watching Hank just own s*** stain all over the ice and then watching Howie face wash him after, good times. Can't really pin point all of them. s*** I love this team.

The ESPN score center is real good. Updates are pretty quick too.

A f***IN MEN!!!!!! Maize and blue foreva!!!

peanut butter jelly time!

I actually like your posts, as they normally have lots of substance and I get a good laugh out of them when the humor is intended. I hold no ill will toward anyone as we are typing to each other about a team we all love and Malts instead of Asham...we knew the loyalty with this org means more than anything. We are just a little too 4th line loaded and he wouldn't have came here and received a bunch of ice time anyway. This said, I would also take him over Drew Miller and ready to take flack but what can ya do lol.

Not really but maybe you just answered your own question assuming I was talking about you...
