will you tank red wings games due to the cleary signing

[Euro_Twins 4,485]

BTW, unless your name is Jimmy Howard, I don't know how any of us can actually "tank" Red Wings games.

Ya, cause he's totally like a crappy goalie

[Danielsm 244]

One word: lol.

[amato 3,210]

I don't understand this at all.. if it weren't for the roster situation, the cleary deal is an amazing signing. but because of the roster, it's just a great one

(side note: cleary might be my least favorite player on the roster)

[Dabura 12,232]

We should make a Danny Cleary drinking game. Like, every time he falls, do a shot. Or, every time he takes a shot, fall.

[vladdy16 2,154]

If I didn't skip games when they signed Krupp, Hatcher or Bertuzzi, why would I do it now?

I'm happy/confused about the signing. I have lots O Cleary love, but I agree the money was probably better spent elsewhere.

[PROBIE4PREZ 58]

Sad s***. Really loved how he played during the end of the season and playoffs. I love my Wings regardless of their signings. To many arm chair GM's getting pissy.

[rrasco 1,312]

I'm not even reading this entire thread. I'm upset over the signing, but if I was willing to not watch, why would I even be upset? I mean, it's not like we signed Cindy. Then I might stop watching.

If were taking shots every time he falls, you WILL be falling just as much

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Are you sure it wasn't bad grammar? I mean, maybe the person was asking who was going to GET tanked in order to watch Cleary play.

Because in that case, *points at self*.

I'm with ya sista!

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

The Red Wings once acquired Ulf Samuelsson, but some people would seriously not watch games because they signed Cleary?

[MabusIncarnate 5,359]

Why..?

This thread really doesn't make much sense at all. Boycott games post-lockout, sure. Boycott games because of a minor depth signing is just plain dumb.

I could see if we had like DiPietro for that horrible contract, and then suddenly resigning him again after it expired and he had spent 99% of it injured, but Cleary?

[GMRwings1983 8,803]

Glad you got the joke.

[SouthernWingsFan 854]

This is just another example of people who can't hold their stupid emotinoal b.s. in and talk a big game without doing anything. Just about all these people are going to be tuning in on the TV or going to games live, like always.

If these people actually have the guts to follow through, good for them.

If not, shut up and calm down and grow up. As much as I'd like to see guys like Nyquist and Tatar secure permanent roles, re-siging Cleary isn't the worst thing in the world. Those people should be embarssed at how pitiful they are acting.

Yes. Ulf was a true villain. Good analogy.

[Franzine 739]

Tanking Red Wings games due to the Cleary signing is such a bad idea that we should all just do it.

[Dabura 12,232]

Dan Cleary hates your freedom.

[Uncle Danny 155]

Dan Cleary hates your freedom.

If you tank games, Dan Cleary wins.

lots of fans aren't happy with management decisions.. plus we don't want to pay money that will go to dan cleary's salary. i think it makes sense

I could care less... I guess maybe cause I'm a true fan I'll go watch the games regardless of what moves management makes...

[Guest DeGraa55]

Ya I agree. I disagree with a lot of the moves because I'm a fan. I want my team to win. But win or lose I'll always be watching/attending games when I can.

You dont care who the Wings sign/dont sign? That's weird.

[Euro_Twins 4,485]

Please do not put words in my mouth. I don't care enough to boycott them. Obviously I would love to see the caliber team we had in 97, 98, 2002, or 2008. We don't have that though, does that mean I'm gonna jump off the bandwagon? No, I'm obviously still going to follow them and go to games regardless of who they sign. I'm not a Chicago fan.

20,066 other people gladly will, so it's probably a futile effort. If the Red Wings management consistently made poor decisions, then I maybe understand fans' backlash. However, boycotting over Dan Cleary seems a little overdone.
