Babcock is a cool idea, I'd love to see him prove me wrong....but I don't think he's ever taken a garbage team and turned them around into a contender.

yeah, only a stanely cup and olympic gold. WHC gold as well.

it isnt.. but its on the sharks or wings to officially ask for it

if they do, the oilers or leafs will have to give them one

So the Sharks brass might bring up the topic of a free 3rd round pick from the Oilers simply by asking for it and they'll decide "naaaawwwwwwww".

too late now, cause they already hired McLellan

Pegula's a billionaire. The difference is he would be spending his own money. MLSE would be spending a portion of the profits they make from the team. Anyone thinking any other team/owner would be willing to pay a coach more than MLSE if they really wanted him would be flat out wrong. I've been saying this for the past year.

once they exhausted the revenue made by the team they could dip into their combined TV, Internet and Phone revenues.

its actually... you cant even imagine that money.

Which is why he's got 8 years.

Holland did a lot of work in Anaheim

I wish traffic laws worked that way.

P.Off: Sir, you were driving 220 in a school zone and that's against the rules.

Law: I'm going to say no ....

P.Off: Sigh, fair enough.

Lets not kid ourselves, Babcock is a top 2 or maybe at worst top 3 coach in the NHL. I'd like to say I'm surprised that he's now a bum but I'm not.

And then he went on to never miss the playoffs, despite year after year of people saying the Wings were done.

Any shot you can take at the Leafs eh Craig Button.

Yeah, Babcock sucks eh...

When the worse thing anyone can say about your performance is that one year at the very start of your career you lost as many games as you one, you're doing okay.

SCF with two different teams and the only coach in the triple gold club, and yet HE has to prove YOU wrong...???


(frank)me, no wonder this place gets trolled....

Are you telling me that it's the players that play the game and not the coach? You're crazy.

Ask yourself this, are the Redwings no longer playoff contenders because Mike Babcock left? Exactly.

If he spoke French and replaced Therrien you'd be dancing in the streets. DU MAURIERS FOR EVERYONE! WOOOOOOOOO

Gotta find a number 1 center...but guess what, you have to draft those guys... too bad
