[Detroit Sports*]

Datsyuk should be the ****ing captain! He is the best player in the world!

good goal by dats... er abs

 

[Flowah]

THAT GOAL SCORING TOUCH BY ABBY!!!

hahaha

 

[Vladdy84]

Love Dats. Kindl is awesome too.

We could trade Pavel for so much

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Abby has drove the net twice so far. Awesome job.

 

[CK17]

Aw, now that line's together for another month.

 

[Shadywing19]

Hahaha Abby. Love it.

 

[NooDLE]

Datsyuk literally shooting pucks off Abdelkader

 

[Edge of Sanity*]

Abdelkader has still not scored a non-empty net goal with his stick

 

[Detroit Sports*]

I love datsyuk

 

[Detroit Sports*]

Datsyuk is the best player in the world! Should be our captain too

 

[SortaExtremist]

Pavel Datsyuk figured that Detroit has a better chance of scoring deflecting it off of Abdelkader than actually putting it on abdelkader's stick.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Abdelkader's foot is cut to the bone yet we're scratching Nyquist. **** you Babcock.

 

[RedWingsNow*]

Hrudey keeps saying Datsyuk loves playing with Abdelkader... what's Datsyuk going to say/... no... I hate playing with the guy because he sucks

 

[DatsyukToZetterberg]

not just for that shot im general he isnt the greatest. He will never carry us. I dont trust him

Just wondering what more you want from him? He could be more consistent I'll give you that but take out his first 3 or 4 starts and he's in the top 6 or 7 for sv%.

Right now he's 5th in GP, tied for 15th in sv% but 9th is only .004 ahead of him, and he has the 9th most shots against. He's played extremely well this year, we're over working him and the fact he's still able to play at this level is a testament to his abilities.

i think ricelund posted it earlier but when our bottom 6 had cleary in it it had like 0 points in the first 10 games, and once we got him off it they finally started putting up points. I'm pretty certain Cleary has done basically nothing offensively since being put back into the bottom 6. When will someone finally say "phuck this ***** and just get cleary out of the lineup, like maybe a one game benching as a healthy scratch, just a message so he knows he hasn't been playing up to a level that's expected of him, especially when his salary this season is 2.8 million dollars.

 

[Super Fadio Bro]

Abdelkader scored?

Hahaha

 

[RedWingsNow*]

Abdelkader battling in front of the net makes that happen....

That or Datsyuk skating the puck all the way up the ice, getting separation and puitting the puck in the crease

 

[acetehubernoob]

so nyquist is scratched, but who is taking his spot tonight?

stats arent everything i feel like he gives too many back breaker goals up in close games and i dont like how he gives up huge rebounds/ slides on his back or turns around in front of the net sometimes. He should slide post to post not spin around and lay on your back in desperation. He isnt hasek.

 

[Detroit Sports*]

so nyquist is scratched, but who is taking his spot tonight?

im wondering the same thing

 

[Laser Rayzor]

so nyquist is scratched, but who is taking his spot tonight?

Eaves is back on the 3rd line, Toots back on the 4th line

Eaves-Andy-Cleary
Miller-Emm-Toots

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

I hope Nyquist gets traded for the sake of his career. You can tell its gonna be another Hudler situation. So sad.

 

[Vladdy84]

Nyquist ain't playing? Realgood coaching... Take out Cleary and put Tats back in please. Don't know who I would take out for Nyquist.

Can't help but wonder what Babcock's thinking is about Cleary.

Even his defensive work is suspect
