joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted January 24, 2014 Cleary is a decent PKer aside from that blunder on Sharp's PP goal but Bertuzzi is a liability on every area of the ice. Atleast Cleary's turn overs come in the offensive zone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings4thecup06 504 Report post Posted January 24, 2014 Better than Cleary, who should be the Flyer's problem right now. I hope we don't need Bert in the shootout. Cleary is a decent PKer aside from that blunder on Sharp's PP goal but Bertuzzi is a liability on every area of the ice. Atleast Cleary's turn overs come in the offensive zone Yea I definitely was like 'oh crap we've lost this game' when Bert came on for his shootout attempt, but good for him for roofing that slapper. I've liked his game this season, but at times he's just like a brick out there. That defensive miscue on the PK was horrible. I think we could all see it coming as soon as Cleary and Helm committed to the same guy after the face-off. Did Cleary have another PK shift after that goal? I remember Doc commenting that Abby replaced him alongside Helm on the next PK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roboturner 562 Report post Posted January 24, 2014 I'm glad Alfie is back in, just wish it was Cleary sitting and not Bert who would come in handy during a shootout. Cleary brings nothing to this team and surely his PK spot could be better utilized with one of the kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember Doc commenting that Abby replaced him alongside Helm on the next PK Yeah he did. Just usually he is a decent penalty killer. Blocking shots and what not. We have plenty of good penalty killing grinders though just saying I see a bit more value out of Cleary than Bert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brett 1,029 Report post Posted January 24, 2014 Babs isn't as oblivious as I thought. Bertuzzi was the worst player on the ice against the Hawks and looked like a Beer leaguer on the first two Hawks goals. Next step is Cleary bert sucks but he scored to tie it in the shootout cleary did not so if this comes to shootout i will be a bit upset Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd think that they have some sort of building manager to keep it from moving around. I guess we'll have to be nice and loan them our visitors' one tonight. Wings win tonight in regulation. Nowadays, that's a bold prediction. 1 McAwesome reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hathorlive 17 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Cold miserable night. Check. Sold tickets to friend of a friend who calls and says they can't make it. Check. Going to a game that starts in five minutes with an extra ticket. Check. I guess there are worse problems to have.

Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 The kids play and Bertuzzi is scratched? There's hope for this team yet. Now if we can get Dats back in place of Cleary, our team is dirty.

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 If this were 2010 I'd be worried about Doug Murray with Subban, since it's 2014 I think we can dominate the ice against that pair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
