    Detroit is expected to promote their coach in Grand Rapids who has already spent time coaching most of the current Red Wings roster as they worked their way through the system. It should be a pretty smooth transition and I'm not concerned because it is a tightly run organization.

    Anyway, I don't harbor any ill will towards Babcock leaving the Wings. A monkey would have made that decision. If rumors are correct, the Wings were offering him 4 yrs / $3.25M. The Leave's offer is literally double that in years and annual salary.

    Considering Quenneville is currently the highest paid coach at $2.75 million, that is an insane offer based on the current market rate.

    Crazy amount of money for an NHL coach. Can't blame him 1 bit for taking the deal. But hey, at least he won't be under any pressure to perform.....

    A lot of current good head coaches must be pretty excited. I don't know if there has been a bigger market shift in pay scale in sports since the Texas Rangers paid A-Rod $250M to hit baseballs.

    Cant wait for the annual mid season collapse in Toronto.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    This Lightning/Rangers game is insane. Playoff hockey is the best.

    there was nothing more damaging to Canadians views of American hockey fans than the Fox puck
    may it continue to cause derision and contempt whenever it is seen
