Make Detroit Great Again
That would be funny if he was still playing with Franzen.
I know he's not, which explains why Mule is ice cold.

Nyquist is just unbelievable. Its honestly hilarious that this guy was in the minor leagues this year.
Nyquist is on pace for a 70 point season if he spent the entire 82 game season in Detroit. It's not like a team fighting for their playoff lives couldn't have benefited from having him on the roster opening night.
It was much more important to have Dan Cleary on the roster!!
Relevant though.

He had a goal today...unfortunately some referees have a very vague interpretation of what incidental contact is.
Sheahan is very capable defensively. That's always been one of his best assets.
He, Jurco, and Tatar put up a couple of brutal games on the defensive end of the ice. Sheahan has a talent for defense, but it's not yet up to NHL par. He'll get there.
I'll be the first to be upset about playing grinders 20 minutes while offensive studs get 10, but this game was incredibly well executed by the defense and we had leads for a decent amount of the game, whereas usually were fighting to keep up and score goals. Luke and Miller may not be positives but at least there's some benefit to them being strong neutralizers.
When guys like Miller and Glendening shut down the opposition's 1st line (two games in a row), they are absolutely positives. Even if they have 0 points, 0 shots, and accidentally taped their blades backwards.

I thought about saying something similar to what he said when I first read it.
yes it may be relevant but its been overplayed. just like a song that was good but after the 100th listen it grows more irritating than enjoyable. if Cleary was still on the team in any real way it might be worth bringing up still, but he's not. they have basically made up injuries so that he didn't have to go to Grand Rapids and so it doesn't look like he lost his job to Jurco/Pulkkinen/Ferraro/ect... (IMO no way of proving this and don't what it to be taken as fact and make the site liable in any way)
Everyone on this board save for maybe a small small minority already know that Nyquist should have been up from the start, that Cleary should have never been signed, that Nyquist could be around a 70 point season, and that it could have helped us in the standings. So I see very little reason for someone to remind us of this fact every day on almost all threads. there was a reason we were threatened by mods earlier in the year about Cleary talks. Its a played out trend... if he gets resigned then we can erupt and storm Ken Hollands house. post how evil he is on all threads. Even the ones that have nothing to do with the Red Wings. I'm talking to you Phoenix Coyotes board.
lets all let it go. It was a bad move but bringing it up again and again will not grant us time travel and rescue us from that signing.
I believe Babcock plays Nyquist a little cause thus he keeps him fresh and dangerous and it seems it works, Nyquist produces. It does not mean necessarily he would produce even more with more icetime.

I can't believe we won this game. I thought we would lose 2-1. Babcock has finally realized you have to score goals to win games. I think this is the difference between eastern and western conference.
Howard GAA 2, SV% .933, W, outplayed opponent. This is the 3rd game Howard outplays opponent. Great sign. I did not like how he got beat on that penalty shot, but this is almost a perfect game by him and I'll take it.
This is a great point. I think you should repeat it about ten times a week for the next ten season so nobody forgets how you were the only one that thought nyquist was going to score more than Dan Cleary.
