Interestingly, Babcock post-morning skate presser began with Wings PR guy saying Babcock not answering questions about his coaching future.

Trouble in Detroit? Other than, you know, being in Detroit.

Come on north Babby, we'll have a coaching vacancy by the end of the season.

Dupuis has been cleared medically to play.

Oh, well, okay!

I understand that everything has an endpoint, but canning a guy who has never missed the playoffs, including the past two years with half an AHL roster sounds fucking absurd to me.

Lucic fined 5k

I thought this had to do with Babcock's contract expiring at the end of this season? Detroit can throw all the money it wants at him, if he doesn't want to coach there, he doesn't have to sign the offer.

[Sepukku]

Oh, well, okay!

Amazing news to hear, that was very scary. It was likely precautionary with the stretcher incase he had a vertebrae injury but that still had to hurt like all hell when it first happened

Edit: NHL.com even says he might play Saturday. Hope they put him in for the opening faceoff CAUSE ILL BE AT THE GAME!!!! FUCK YOU ISLANDERS I HOPE THE PENGUINS ARE PISSED ABOUT THE DALLAS GAME AND MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF YOU

Ahhh okay, I thought I meant they were looking to let him go

[Bregor]

The fact that they haven't agreed on an extension yet is puzzling though. Thought it should be a no-brainer for the Wings.

[bluefan]

All the talk of finding the Devils guy one pushed me over the edge, ha. I was trying to find a Sens/Leafs combo but to no avail.

?

Spoiler: show

Also, our truce is on hold tonight Wulfy. Let us partake in an epic match. Going to tonights home opener, so I expect plenty of posts when I come back to mock everyone.

But if he doesn't want to coach there, there's nothing the Wings can do. I'm sure they're throwing money at him; who wouldn't?

Babcock wants to win, not just make the playoffs!

Lol Sekac's dad is funny

Honestly, NHL Network made a big deal out of it, but thats tame compared to what I'd do. I'd Lucic gesture, I'd fucking NYC 1945 kiss my wife 2 seats down, I'd smack the banker out of the dude's mouth to my left for not standing up. I'd unscrew the bolts to my chair and throw it on the ice like a hat trick. Seriously. If I had a son and he scored a goal in the NHL, especially for a high end club (sorry Aaron Ekblad, no ones going to care about you for 5 years), I'd likely be thrown out my celebration would be so over the top. But then again, I'd tell everyone I met in the stadium throughout the game and pre-game that I was here to see my son finally play in the NHL so maybe the ushers would look the other way for me, understandably

My first skating lesson, my mom brought along our camcorder at the time.

Which is fine, but what the picture isn't showing is the sun that attached at the top of it. So there's a small Asian woman there with a camcorder that's half her size and it's lighting up the entire ice rink.

I plan on doing the same thing if I ever have kids. Gotta keep the tradition going.
