Cleary is getting the puck in the zone and moving it to his teammates. He's been accomplishing this role for the past couple games. Any love for the most-hated man on these forums?
The overall team vibe is covering for him. If Helm said he could go, who would you want out? End of story.
Why all the Quincey and Smith hate? These guys are cool. I have serious man love for our d and goalie right now. When's the last time we've had a bad game? Chicago? Other than that one game, we've been awesome.
Hey! After a little "vacation" (don't worry I was reading the whole time) I am glad to say I am oh so happy that everyone is happy with Danny D! I knew he was coming here (thanks to my buddy dating Danny's Sister) and I knew he was going to be NHL ready and become a big part of the Defense. He is our best defensive defenseman out there and as long as he is allowed to be just that, Mr. Kronwall can go back to doing what he does best as well.
Of course I am edgy about keeping the "streak" alive, but I am OH SO excited about this team's future moving forward starting this draft. I have a ton of topics to reply in since I couldn't but had to start in this one, since I was the first guy (basically, although I do think someone posted the same video I did last season a bit earlier, but I was the one to hand out the little inside info from my buddy) to mention Danny D. I was most definitely his biggest proponent on here and am so glad he is a Red Wing and will probably be for life...Good on Ya Danny!
Welcome back, brother. Dekeyser is definitely the real deal.
Dekeyser is a north and south / between the dots guys. Nobody gets by him to the inside and he doesn't get caught up ice. Simple as that. We got enough guys who get burned because they think they are Lidstrom (cough Kronwall cough Smith). I'm cool with Ericsson, Lashoff, Quincey, and Dekeyser playing sound defense so Smith, Kind, and Kronwall can push up ice a bit.
Yes, and that is why Holland has kept hold of almost all his draft picks since 2006, because he knows you need a constant pipeline of good, young, cheap players coming through.
It's great to beat an opponent on the scoreboard, but also fun watching our beloved Red Wings beating the snot outta them as well...Especially when it was against the Avs.
It was cool cause the wings never went looking for trouble. They just ended all the trouble.
