GDT: WCS Game #2 | Detroit Red Wings @ Chicago Blackhawks | 1:00 PM EST | NBC / CBC / RDS

[Detroit Sports*]

Cleary should have a -10 Puck control in NHL 14 if he is still in the league.

''If he is not I will create him and put him on the top line'' - M. Babcock

 

[Vladdy84]

Good start. They look good. Need to get to those rebounds. Attack that net.

 

[SoupGuru]

We have a chance if we can play like this for 60 minutes.

 

[14ari13]

I think the Wings started better this game than game 1.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

smith....wtf....throwing it right in front of our own net

It hit Emmerton right on the tape, Emmerton and Cleary are just terrible outlets for a d-man.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Lol.

 

[Sameheda]

We look good so far. Nice to see Smith throw a hit to protect himself.

 

[Vladdy84]

Cleary.... HORRIBLE.

 

[Sameheda]

That should have been a very simple clear for "Clear"y.

Multi year extension coming baby.... he still has the black mail on Babs and Holland

 

[f1seb]

Whistle too quick. Better return that favor.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Hate to break this to a bunch of you but Abdelkader is turning into a player. I know it will be upsetting to some of the crowd around here. It is getting harder to avoid that fact though.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Crawford looking shaky so far, lots of rebounds. Same as last game but his defense and our suckyness helped him out.

I've asked this before earlier in the playoffs but never got an answer, so I will ask one more time then I'll shut up about it.
Why is Ian White scratched every single game? He's a decent offensive defenceman who makes good decisions defensively despite his small stature he's still good enough to be on most teams top four, so why healthy scratch every game? Hated by Babcock?

 

[theYman]

Just needs a Red Wings jersey.

 

[aar000n]

Home cooking calls start.

 

[Vladdy84]

So not gonna call when Kronwall gets hooked behind his own net eh?

I agree. He knows his role, which is to get into the dirty areas. I really like the player he is turning into.

 

[InjuredChoker]

well there is that.

Made some dumb comments after being scratched midway through the season, has played one game since.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Lol.

Romer's world is the biggest *** on here.

 

[14ari13]

Shots 7-3 Wings, but Hawks PP.

I still don't think long-term Abby is the player I want on that line, but you can tell he is improving much more compared to when he began playing on Datsyuk's wing. Cleary was definitely the one of the 2 that was making the line absolutely horrendous. How many times has Cleary failed to skate out of his zone with the puck or pass it out and ends up keeping the line hemmed in its own zone. He is driving me nuts

 

[14ari13]

Why is it so quite here?
