OK, let's stop this pointless bickering.

Here is the deal the Wings fans are annoyed that every little aspect gives canvases a hope that Babcock will land, but they casn do what they want. Show me a Sabres, Leafs, Philly blog and they are guesses using "potential" as to why he will go there, again do as you must.

Babcock is a great coach, however much of his results at the NHL level were during prime years of Zetterberg, Datsyuk and Lidstrom... To say that he made them better, not sure. I think they were well on their way... Particularly where Babcock himself was quoted many times that his top two lines he let's loose, meaning no game plan..... Meaning,those guys were just that good.

SO

That means that Babcock had enhanced a culture more so than made it... Meaning, justvlike Scotty Bowman he is easily replaceble because the DET is transitioning, so a fresh voice may work.

I am ready to move on to Blashill who knows the old fellers, made the
young guys pros and Champs. Babcock's fierce loyalty tonguys like Bertuzzi, Clearly, Samuelson and Ericsson has put a real sour taste in swings fans mouths.

Here is what I will say in closing.....

Your getting a great coach, but most of the youth he got was already developed so I cannot say I have seen much work with youth from him but I have seen him ruin potential picking med. Vets over playing youth.

I trust the Wings system more than any coach or player not names Zetterberg, Datsyuk or Kronwall. Best of luck Babs.... To everyone else, enjoy the diva and heartbreak when you see what Wings knew for a few seasons.... When the best GM is willing to let him walk, that is telling

I thought they offered him a contract?

Edit: Maybe not...

In all seriousness, Nik Kronwall is 34 years old, and Dekeyser and Smith are nowhere near legitimate top pairing material.

Mantha for Adam Larsson?

Proud graduate of the American education system I see

I wanted you to understand it , being from Ottawa. You impressed.

Some of us have the same thoughts on him also. The hopes of a better mindset and possible game plan is what we are hoping for. Yes there are a couple others available . Gonna be a hit or miss going forward with who we pick as a head coach. Really won't know for about 2-3 years.

If you knew I was from Ottawa, then why would I be a recruiter for AARP which is an American organization?

Yes, I come on this site to read your opinions on the Wings.

dcz28 - it ain't cool to come onto another team's blog and insult the fan base.


Chill out with an Iced Capp and BeaverTail.

Never had an iced capp and only once had a beaver tail when I was a kid. Not things that would help me relax. Poutine and a glass of Crown Royal would be better choices.

Are we done yet ?

Yes that must be it...I'm jealous the Wings didn't purposely tank and get the #2 overall pick. Man do I wish the Wings were as crappy as the Sabres Who wants to watch the team they cheer for winning cups and make the playoffs for 24 straight years.

I love red wing fan. Much like the Patriot fan. Both teams just happen to fall into into great players so now they are a beacon of a great organization. meh. Sometimes it pays to be lucky.

So, cross him off your list

I'm not familiar with the Canadian version of it , if you even have that. But most on here being from the USA , recognize it and the jest of the comment.

Tampa and Washington please

No you're clueless and ignorant because you think I said that because you didn't see I live in Canada

Please don't hesitate to use commas.

Agree to disagree on that....

I don't think we have a version of it but then again, I would be too young to join which would be one of the few things I would be too young to join

Never heard of it. Still like I said, too young still for that stuff. Maybe in 15 years or so I will look into that.

Well that escalated, then diminished quickly.

Fall into great players? Ummm doubt it. Our rookies are generally 22+, because they develop in the minor leagues. Sorry pal, next.

Sorry if late - couldn't wade through that entire back read.

Per Dreger, Oil have not yet asked to speak to Babcock, will focus instead on McClellan.
