Im sure babcock and Illitch trust each other enough that they said no worries we'll get this done after the playoffs....and mean it!

He's not going anywhere cause if he does, I'll cry. Just kidding, but seriously though. I'll cry

Those warm, fuzzy feelings might change if they don't win the Cup.

Babcock stands to get an awfully BIG contract from someone. Probably the Wings but there will be no shortage of suiters that will drive his price up.

It's kinda funny that this story was in the Denver Post. Matter of fact, it was written by Terry Frei, the same guy who wrote the story about Todd McLellan being interested in the Avs job. Anyway, of course Babcock isn't going anywhere. He's done a great job there, and he's gonna win the Cup. Why would you wanna leave Detroit's bench right now? And I guarantee that Detroit wants him back. This is definitely a no-story.

We don't win the cup more than we win it. If he didn't get fired last year when the wings manage to break the hearts of hockey fans in hockey town this year with a 3-1 lead in the west finals it would take an epic collapse to cost him his job. That is assuming that even a historical collapse of almost unheralded magnitude could cost a coach who has done such a good job to this point his Job. I mean it's not his fault that the NHL introduced a salary cap and he has to coach in the shadow of the NHL's version of the Yankees.

Welcome back Baun ded haven't heard from you since I returned from Aruba. Thought you bave up the hunt after the canadian teams bowed out.

joefordnproud | 05/15/08, 12:53 PM

Can't see him leaving. There's no reason to leave, either.

naxself | 05/15/08, 01:07 PM

He'll get re-signed. Back-to-back Final Four appearances should do it. I never really thought about it...but he does deserve his Adams nomination.

Terry is actually someone with a good background in hockey... If anything in colorado we demand good hockey and football, so lots of people read this junk in colorado because we are looking for answers after getting our a#@ kicked!

Three is a charm, Donerik! They got bounced by the Oilers two years ago and they got bounced last year. They stuck with the plan and the Red Wings kept getting better as a team. They're monstruous right now and the toast of the NHL and are expected to win it all. But, what if .....? In hockey, there are no guarantees, you know?

DCruiser | 05/15/08, 05:50 PM

baun-ded, welcome back there bauner, buddy, ole pal, i haven't heard from you in ages , man it's been awhile, we should exchange phone numbers and get caught up on old times, ahh is your sister still a hottie, i mean i'm maried now but i remember back in the day she was smok'in, why don't you go ahead and share that story you shared with me on how you actually came up with the name baun-ded, man everybody would just love that, later dude!

wingsfan#1 | 05/15/08, 09:31 PM

Yes,bauny.....please tell us..

bostongm | 05/15/08, 10:48 PM

Pow... I know that Terry Frei has a good hockey background. I'm a CO lifer, and a die-hard Avs and Broncos fan. I know how it works around here. My point was that it's kinda weird that they would put a story from the Denver Post about Detroit's coach as a national rumor on the SI website.

wtnelson | 05/15/08, 11:46 PM

Who are these guys?
