And we should expect Kronwall to play like Lidstrom? That's the role Babcock is putting him in...
Cleary may be ineffective, but he's not floating.
Way to not get the point.
Cleary is on Pav's line over Tatar so we should expect as much or more than Tatar would produce in the same position. He doesn't and that's why people are hating on Cleary being used in that spot.
There is no one that Kronwall is being used ahead of.
Until Cleary can produce what Tatar would be expected to if he got to play with Pav people are going to hate the decision to use Cleary over Tatar.
Could you imagine if Hank was on the same line as Datsyuk? He'd probably have a 100 goal season.

More like drowning.
loled, the point here is he just does not deserve to play with Pavol and Pavol does not deserve to have him on the line

Cleary
Kronwall
Although had I thought about it more I probably would have went with Lashoff instead of Kronwall based on his ice-time.
If Cleary played like he did tonight, every night, I would never have given him a poopatar, and I doubt we'd be complaining about him half as much as we have been.
My biggest fear is that Cleary is going to play his way into a contract in Holland's eyes. Good deflection from him on a much needed pp goal though
