I don't know if he's having an identity crisis (hi, I want to be Z) or what, but I think that he'll come around come playoffs. It seems that he's concentrating on being Henrik Zetterberg too much, when what the team needs is Danny Cleary cleaning the garbage up in the crease.Denanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-79966821788254090412010-04-02T08:52:52.330-04:002010-04-02T08:52:52.330-04:00Dan Cleary is a guy that adds a lot of value to th...Dan Cleary is a guy that adds a lot of value to the team that doesn't show up on the score sheet. When healthy, I feel he's a better option than Meech. This year with all the injuries Danny may have felt he had to step up in some way and add more offense to his game. He's just not that type of player. He's more of the type of player to grind out the corner battles or stake out a spot in the crease and hold it. He creates space and time for guys like Zetterburg and Datsyuk so they can work their magic.<br /><br />I don't mean to take anything away from Meech. He fills in well enough at forward so that he doesn't embarrass himself or his linemates. Meech is kind of like a utility infielder in baseball. He's a nice option to have when the starter does down or needs a break.Rusty Shacklefordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866085953233253500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-4632183200027420832010-04-02T01:54:27.461-04:002010-04-02T01:54:27.461-04:00I have to agree with Petrella on the first part, b...I have to agree with Petrella on the first part, but with a qualifier. Cleary is invaluable to this team when he's doing what he does. He's a grinder with the skill to make some excellent plays. He's willing to do the dirty work for his line mates but has a shot that makes him a threat when he has the puck. <br />When he plays his role he's an important part of our second line, but right now Bertuzzi is playing that role better (Petrella can barely stand it). Hopefully next season he'll get his head on straight and get back to working for his, and his linemates, points.<br />Cleary forever has a spot on this team for his game winner in game 7 last year vs Anaheim. It epitomizes what he can and should be to this team.bradonwebhttp://twitter.com/bradonwebnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-8654695317186179562010-04-01T23:34:34.649-04:002010-04-01T23:34:34.649-04:00I adore Dan Cleary and think that what he brings t...I adore Dan Cleary and think that what he brings to the team is invaluable and immeasurable. But you don't break up that second line. And this is coming from someone who despises Todd Bertuzzi, 18 goals be-damned.Michael Petrellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723655472835696893noreply@blogger.com
