I know the thread topic is Cleary riding the bench, but where the hell is Weiss? Injured?
has holland been fired, holy cow...
It would've been cool if Holland and Babcock realized this **** two months ago when every damn fan was saying it.
Cleary out. Sammy in. The revolving healthy scratch of uselessness
Babcock is the one who has been insisting on playing him 15+ minutes a game, not Holland.
cant play him if you do proper talent evaluation and dont sign him
babcock could play me 15 minutes a night but i would hope holland would watch me play and think better before signing me
I would rather Sammy play, if those are our choices.

One at a time. This is Babcock and Holland, two men firmly entrenched in their ways.
Aren't we getting a little dramatic considering where we are in the standings? Let's not kid our selves about our line up either. We wouldn't be running away with the presidents trophy if we had Nyquist in the lineup over Cleary. Yes I think Nyquist is better but adding a 30 point player to the line up isn't going to make a huge difference. Things will work them selves out. Holland has once again assembled a very competitive team.
When you also add in the number of under performing players we have I think things will only get better.
Surprised nobody posted the following:
Ansar Khan @AnsarKhanMLive 16m
Babcock said he hasn't decided on lineup for tomorrow, wouldn't commit to Cleary being healthy scratch, said they'll see tomorrow.
Thought that might create a storm around here.

Nothing dramatic about it, simply stating that they are both very predictable in what happens year in and year out for this club.
I'd stick Franzen at center and roll with
Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Bertuzzi
Tatar - Franzen - Alfredsson
Abdelkader - Helm - Eaves
Miller - Andersson - Glendenning
Cleary and Sammy on the bench where they belong.
Please tell me the advantages of not icing your best possible roster from the beginning to end of the season, I'm all ears. I thought that was the point of running a hockey club.
