Browse more photos » The Toronto Maple Leafs won the Hall of Fame game 5-1 as they used their forecheck and a determined defense to stymie a Detroit Red Wings team that had seemingly turned a corner. The Chris Osgood that had posted a .976 sv% over his last three games was replaced by the one that had a sub-.900 sv%...

Come September of 1990 I had long settled in to my academic routine. I was an awful student in University, the scholastic Daniel Cleary, pulling extraordinary marks in high school all the while doing little hard work to get them. When I got to Toronto it soon became clear, to me, that I lacked discipline. I soon fell into a routine very early on, skipping classes, putting off the work I had to do,...

The Penguins and numerous other teams have shipped their prospects too exotic locales such as Kitchener, Ont. and Traverse City, Mich. for prospect tournaments. Franchises see these get-togethers as important ways to measure and cultivate their developing talent. We'll be the first to admit we've sung the praises of drafting and developing players from within. We've used this forum many times to point...

Stanley was put back in his box for one more game, as the Pittsburgh Penguins made sure that their guests did not get to reprise last years skate around the Mellon Arena with Lord Stanley's Mug held highly aloft. With determination the Pittsburgh Penguins took the play to the Detroit Red Wings in the first two periods of Tuesday nights' game six showdown, for the third period they withstood a frantic...

Marc-Andre Fleury's was named the No. 1 star in the Penguins' 2-1 victory against Detroit last night in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final, and understandably so. Stop 25 of 26 shots — one of them on a Daniel Cleary breakaway with 1:42 left in regulation — and it's tough for people to ignore.

by Adam Gretz Filed under: Penguins , Red Wings , NHL Videos Heading into game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, it was pretty much assumed that Marc-Andre Fleury was going to have to come up big in net for the Pittsburgh Penguins to force a seventh game. He not only stood up to the challenge in Pittsburgh's 2-1 win, he made one of the biggest saves of the season (to that point) when he turned aside Daniel...

More photos » by Paul Sancya - AP Browse more photos » A lot of things went wrong for Pittsburgh in Game 5, but the one that was out of their control was the return of Pavel Datsyuk — who obviously had a major impact on this game. One example? Just over 13 minutes into the first period, he picked up the puck at his own blueline, sped uncontested through the neutral zone and, with...

Hart Trophy finalist Pavel Datsyuk wasn't the only Red Wings player who was limited in Game 5 against the Penguins last night at Joe Louis Arena. Winger Daniel Cleary played despite an unspecified injury.

from Joe Starkey of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, If you listened to all the hyperbole heading into Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, you would have thought the Detroit Red Wings were now known as the Decrepit Red Wings. Their top center, Henrik Zetterberg, who is all of 28, was apparently going to be fitted for a walker, a respirator, bifocals and false teeth on the club’s off day. The rest...

DETROIT, May 27 (UPI) -- Darren Helm scored 3:58 into overtime Wednesday, giving Detroit a 2-1 win over Chicago and putting the Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Finals. For the second straight year, Detroit will be taking on the Pittsburgh Penguins for the NHL title. It will be the first time since 1977-78 that the same two teams have played for the Stanley Cup twice in a row. Detroit concluded the Western...

Nothing unusual here as it's wait 'til next year for the young but needing some improvement Blackhawks as they ended up on the shortside of a 2-1 overtime loss after advancing further in the NHL playoffs in over a decade with the youngest team they've had in a decade as well. So it's on to the Finals for the powerhouse Red Wings giving the crumbling Motor city something great to cheer about, althought...

The playoff +/- leader is Daniel Cleary of the Detroit Red Wings. His +15 rating in only 14 games gives him a surprisingly big lead. He is three points ahead of Milan Lucic of the Boston Bruins and four points ahead of teammate Henrik Zetterberg (who has the second highest +/- rating among players still in the playoffs). Cleary has had a good playoff so far. His thirteen points place him third on the...

By any measuring stick, this has been a rather remarkable playoff season for Daniel Cleary , who has figured large in a number of key moments during the Red Wings run for Stanley this year. The Newfoundlander has scored winning goals, tying goals and momentum changing goals during the playoff months, his intensity level and ability to turn to the right play at key times is gaining him a fair amount...
