Just in time for Sh*ttsburgh to tank and draft their next wunderkind to keep the franchise afloat.

I wish the Wild would take notes. Still waiting on that championship.

Rumor has it some has-been retreads are making their way back into the NHL orbit:
Blue Jackets floating the idea of hiring Mike Babcock beg8nd the bench
Rangers floated Quenneville as HC.


From a Wings fan perspective, Babcock was a good coach, but his methods left a lot of questions when rumors started being proven true. Same can be said for Quenneville.

I wouldn't care to have either one behind an NHL bench again, given what we know now.

Babcock's best success was with older experienced vets, of which I don't immediately think of the Blue Jackets.

Agreed.

This is interesting, as IMO Babcock did his best work with the Spokane Chiefs in the WHL coaching kids, and routinely taking unimpressive rosters deep into the playoffs.

I always like to think the Wings would have had more Cups with Babcock if he wasn't such a giant douche.

Uh oh Bob’s horseshoe might have fallen out.

At the very least, maybe Franzen wouldn't have had his brain completely scrambled due to PCS if Babs hadn't talked sh*t about him to his teammates and bullied him into playing when he should have been benched for concussion protocol.

But it was a good game. Looks like it will be a rather testy set of games. Of all the goals, I would call one of them kind of a fluke, because of the bounce of the stantion.

Yep. It definitely did. He didn’t get any favors, though. Florida looks terrible.

This series is getting ugly in more ways than one.
