Solidus

Whatevs, I got a really wicked papercut today in the office and it was a doozie. It smarted for at least two minutes!

I have a ton of respect for any player who takes that big of pay cut (and on a short deal) to stay in Detroit.

Say what you will about the roster and cap situation, but Cleary is a one loyal Wing.

Welcome back Cleary.

They're great, down-to-earth people and extremely hard workers. What a disgusting thread.
Obviously they're going to negotiate together, there's not enough seperating them to warrant a discrepancy in term/money and they have the best chemistry in (the history of?) the NHL. Would they be good seperate? Yes. But together they make one of the best lines in the league regardless of who is the 3rd man.

They're fantastic players. They play against the opponent's best players every game. They don't whine like Crosby or Malkin.
If they want to negotiate together then all the power to them. I hate Canucks fans and dislike the team equally. However, no one can question those two's heart and skill and love for the game.

Please take this with a grain of salt, but one of the Wings beat writers who I talk to on and off emailed me back and told me he's heard whispers that the Wings have verbally agreed to new terms with Cleary and could be announced as early as tomorrow....

Probably because he's not as bad as a lot of people here make him out to be.
He put up 9 goals and 15 points in 48 games and 10 points in 14 playoff games. There's no questioning his compete level, toughness and heart. That can still help a lot of teams. It's just a matter of his health and what role you want him to play.

Thanks for everything Filps, good luck in Tampa

I hope this couple didn't get arrested.

No way he wins this one, sadly. I would love a datsyuk vs datsyuk final

Can I just pick the 2002 Wings team?

@HeleneStJames: Henrik Zetterberg's wit in fine form after I asked him about @bssmith7: "He creates a lot of stuff. Sometimes for both teams." #RedWings
LOL!
Edited so Smith could stick up for himself:
@Bill_Roose: #RedWings Zetterberg said @bssmith7 creates chances for both teams, to which Smitty playfully replied, "I think thats a fair judgement."

Great news....but stuff has happened before. I won't be happy until his name is signed on that line.

My Mom was losing her s*** at the end of the game. Then she did the most ridiculous happy dance in front of the TV and started pointing and saying "HAHA Losers" When she saw Perry on his knees. If I recorded it and put it on Youtube, it would be the greatest video of all time lol but I wasn't fast enough.

3.5 a year + a performance based bonus.

I could have sworn Perry was going to break his slump after getting off scott free with a GWG and then all the analysts could have gave him all their man love.

I cannot believe the double standard that is being displayed in this series by the NHL officials. The Sharks year after year display this disgusting brand of hockey full of flopping and diving. I hope they never win a championship with such illegitimacy.

It's no surprise. Thornton is one of the biggest divers in the league and the captain of the team. Leading by example.

NHL Official Release: Because so many teams wanted one, next season there will be 8 Stanley Cups.

i was the one who started this chant. by far the best wings game ive ever been too. sec 217C, row 16, kid in the white hat. people around me can vouch for me

Would you feel better if we lost last night 1-0 instead of 4-0? The fact that we scored ONE GOAL in our two losses combined doesn't strike you as a problem? It's howard's fault? Like I said, NO. And I think the voting results are starting to balance out how absurd of a thread this is.

DMac's fired up:
@D_Mac25: What a f'ing joke - Abby gets 2 games for playing hockey how I grew up playing it. The way it should be (cont) http://t.co/lb1gd0ynkQ

Put in Larry Murphy!!

I like the nickname the team has given him.
DK

Time for him to suit up
