First off, I am a Wild fan. I am not a Clutterbuck fan. Until he shuts his yap, quits his little weasel cheap shots and acts like a tough guy with that mask on, he will continue to be a target.

The suspension was about right.

A player that does that should be banned from ever playing that team again. That would be a quick cure to thug plays like that.

What cheap shots? The guy doesn't have many penalties at all? He is not known as a dirty player.

Clutterbuck should have been suspended too. His hit from behind was just as bad as Gillies.

No way. It was a boarding call and that was it. There was no intent to injure by Clutterbuck. If you watch the replay you can see that as he was playing the puck he turned his back right before Clutterbuck got there. As soon as he turned his back he let up or he could have really nailed him in a bad position. Another difference was Clutterbuck didn't have the puck when he got hit.

I don't believe Clutterbuck is a weasel or a cheap shot. He finishes his checks which is part of the game. I don't recall seeing him run anyone that doesn't have the puck or just made a pass. He also takes hits dished out by others and gets back in the play.

It would be a steep penalty if he wasnt a usual suspect. I dont want to see guys get hurt, but honestly I am surprised CC doesnt get ran more. CC isnt all that cheap, sometimes he exploits the rules. Hits a lot of guys when it doesnt even matter. But that is fine. Its the way he plays and he has to know it ticks guys off.

I didnt watch a ton of replays, but I though CC's hit was pretty dirty and maybe warranted a retaliation. If someone hit Bouchard like CC hit that guy, everyone one of you would be mad.

CC plays by the rules. He finishes checks. Just because it doesn't cause a turnover or goal every time, it still makes people try to get rid of the puck faster and eventually causes people to make mistakes. His game isn't just "lets try to rack up hits."

He plays the game about as clean as you can when you lead the league in hits three years in a row. He's got under 200 penalty minutes in his career. He's not a dirty player.

Oh, by the way, how many goals does he have this year, 18? How does he not get respect? Yeah he trash talks, but who doesn't in the league. Watch the game. Everyone is running their mouths.

As for the fighting. No one should have to fight for making a clean check. This isn't soccer. If you don't like getting hit, go figure skating.

let's face it, not all CC checks are clean, he leaves his feet alot and some are pretty late and some are a little from behind. Does he try to hurt players? No, does he retaliate? not really. In the heat of competetion, if I were Gillies and I saw CC hit my guy like that, I would have done the same thing and probably more. Like I said in an earlier post, just the fact that they dressed Gillies was for that EXACT reason.. No one on the Wild would ever fight Gillies and they know that so the ONLY reason was to go after CC.. Why else would a 2nd liner and 4th liner be on the ice together so much..

Gillies did his job and that is why we need a heavywieght enforcer so our 18 goal scorers don't get run like that..

I agree 100% with fishing tech. I'd rather watch a team full of Clutterbuck's, hustleing on every play and finishing their checks than the Gaborik kind where they skate around center ice until the Clutterbucks on the team,take the hits, dig the puck out and pass it to them for their highlight reel breakaway. His work ethic is what gets the respect of his coaches and teammates. Reminds me a lot of high school and college games. Get rid of the attempt to injure shots and fights. Sit them a month without pay. Clean checks are part of the game. Giving a guy an elbow to the head at 10 MPH isn't. If they need to fight have them join the UFC and get off the ice.

No, he is not known as a dirty player, mainly, because if he had to fight, he would get waxed. He is known as a weasel, and carries very little to no respect.

hahaha

I'm sorry but I respectfully disagree with everything said here

His job was to get suspended? The guy is a liability. If you want a fighter, you need one that can play hockey too.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
