I love it. Let's not pretend like they have 80 years of history or that there aren't thousands of New Yorkers in the area.

In round 1 there was a season ticket holder a row in front of me. Wore Red Wings stuff every game. Round 2, Lightning. "I'm from Detroit and root for them first and bolts second".

It's lame but it's the way it is. People move here, not away from it.

I have never seen that happen in 40 years of watching hockey.

I had no idea you can't do that

But if it deflected off his helmet it would count right?

Cumiskey and Timonen have the best seats in the house

Well played. Let's see how all the minutes affect the other four ..gotta be tough on them.

Fun watching Getzlaf drift around aimlessly while Kruger positions himself for the winning goal.

 

[Hawks64]

chicago d looking very vulnerable

Top 4 are it. Timmonen and Cumiskey/Runblad are a disaster, total fire drill in the Hawks end when their on the ice. It's scary as hell with the Ducks forecheck.

Babcock, 52, has been head coach in Detroit for 10 years. Upsides include coaching an Original Six team with tremendous history, working for a GM who takes Babcock's input on personnel decisions, and working for an owner, Mike Ilitch, known for spending to win. Babcock may well wonder how competitive the Wings can remain, given that they don't get to draft the cream of the top-five crop, but the farm system does include Dylan Larkin, an 18-year-old who just played at the world championships.

The Sabres have a tremendous amount of young talent, which soon will include Jack Eichel, expected to go second overall in next month's NHL draft. The Sabres are owned by Terry Pegula, who has a reputation for getting what he wants, at any price. Pegula also owns the Buffalo Bills and reportedly gave Rex Ryan north of $5 million annually to coach the Bills. Bottom line, if Pegula wants Babcock badly enough, the Sabres might get him.

The Wings have offered Babcock four years at $3.25 million annually, which would make him the NHL's highest-paid coach. He is believed to be looking for $4 million, double his current salary. Holland said "money is not an issue," but the Wings still might balk at going much higher.

Thought he'd be too small to make it but, we'll see.....

The suites don't have duck, only prime rib, so no...

Also, Bolts will win tonight.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Heard on local radio that Leafs now in bidding war with Sabres. Wings offered 5 years at $4 million per.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Toronto? St Louis? San Jose?

So wait ... as of last night it was down to the Wings and Falo, and now both of them are out?!?

This is getting stranger by the moment.

I'm sticking with my theory that he's coming to Boston to watch his kid play for Merrimack, now that Sweeney finally has been named GM.

Has to be the leafs. wondering if they went to 5.5 mill or something

@TSNAaronWard: Getting more of a sense that the Toronto Maple Leafs MAY end up being the final Mike Babcock destination. #TSN

You don't follow college football coaching searches, do you?

Completely unconfirmed twitter rumors telling tales of 7-8m per year from Toronto with management role included.

I guess money does talk. Surprised that St.Louis was also in the running at the end.

Two names: Babcock ... Kessel.

I will hang up and listen.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Toronto is a disaster, nice job Mike. Thanks for your time in Detroit, not a bad run but it could have been better.
