VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 To keep on the injury topic--you know, the relevant one--here's a crazy question. Do we want Cleary back if there is some miraculous recovery and he can skate perfectly fine once more? My head is about to explode with all the scenarios these injuries have opened.

wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 No place for dan cleary on this team ever again. He needs to just sit until he goes away this summer for good. As for pav, he seems to really want to play tomorrow which is good news for us but babs will be careful with his ice time which will be important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do we want Cleary back if there is some miraculous recovery and he can skate perfectly fine once more? My head is about to explode with all the scenarios these injuries have opened. From what I've seen, he hasn't even started skating yet. It would definitely have to be a miracle for him to get back before the end of the regular season & with no cap or roster limit come the playoffs, the Wings will have much better options even if he is ready to go. He's already laced 'em up for the last time in the Winged Wheel...at least I hope he has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "he" I was referring to, answering a question posed by VM1138, was about Cleary, not Pavs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted April 2, 2014 What is this malarkey about Alfie unable to go tonight? No Dats either. These NHL notifications lately have been nothing but bad news sans Nyquist being player of every week and month since January... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These NHL notifications lately have been nothing but bad news sans Nyquist being player of every week and month since January... Speculation is that Alfie's dealing with either a broken pinkie or ring finger on his right hand though officially, the media was told he didn't skate yesterday as a maintenance day.

Do we want Cleary back if there is some miraculous recovery and he can skate perfectly fine once more? My head is about to explode with all the scenarios these injuries have opened. The wings official site posted an article last night titled: Injection to blame for Cleary's setback Red Wings forward likely to miss remainder of season following side-effects to shot I'm not sure if you meant past this season or this year but I hadn't seen this posted yet so I figured it'd be worth mentioning. I for one think Dan Cleary's time as a red wing is over.... link: http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=712351 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ash11 78 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 It's good that Alfie can finally sit out to get healthy. We're gonna need him healthy I 100 % agree. Give him a few games, bring him back the second time we play the sabers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 I 100 % agree. Give him a few games, bring him back the second time we play the sabers. No wait til the following day against the Penguins. We won't need him as much vs the sabres, and getting alfie back on a back to back against the Pens will be nice (I am sure they will remember his big goal last time we played them haha).

cnot19 191 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 Mickey was actually asking the same question last week. The short answer, they will be the champ of that division, but they can't hang a banner for it cause they aren't in the division I actually heard they will get a banner but I coul very well be wrong anyway I like the new format teams will hate each other very soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
