Wasnt it Perry who said to Datsjuyk that he will kick his ass but ended getting his own ass kicked? So fk Perry.

Whos the highest paid coach in hockey? Babcock?

didnt Babcock say that his wifes opinion is the decider? Sign Blashill then already...

5mill per season, that is madness, how much is sabres 4th, 3rd and maybe even 2nd line getting paid in total? 5 mill?

That cheque is for canadian hockey organisation, not sure who gets the money, if theyve got any sense it will be given junior hockey teams to buy equipment. Sidenote; when team russia made it to moscow, no fans arrived to greet them, teams arrival time wasnt a secret.

Looks like Babcock is just looking whats he worth, maybe Wings should hire Blashill intead... http://kuklaskorner.com/tmr/comments/sharp-critiques-babcocks-promiscuity-sort-of The Free Press's Drew Sharp hasn't been paying attention to the whole, "Blues and Sharks are also interested" news, but in discussing Mike Babcock's courtship with the Sabres and Maple Leafs, he may speak for those of you who watched or read about Babcock and Ken Holland's interview on TSN this past Friday, wondering why exactly Babcock has chosen to "play the field" when the field has turned out to be such a limited market for the services of--to take Sharp's tone--the supposedly hottest coach on the planet: If there truly wasn't a better job than what he has, what is the point in dangling your gold medals out there to see what you can attract unless this coach fishing expedition was nothing more than an exercise in personal vanity? If there was absolute confidence that the Wings' next transformative star (à la Pavel Datsyuk) already was in the organization and perhaps a year or two away from blossoming, then wouldn't Babcock have agreed to the second generous contract extension in six months Holland offered in January if this were truly "the better job"? It's believed that only Toronto and Buffalo submitted the necessary compensation paperwork to the league. The Wings demanded a third-round pick within the next three years for any team that signs Babcock. The Wings remain a better option than the Leafs and Sabres, but that doesn't mean they're any closer to seriously contending for a Stanley Cup in the immediate future. And wasn't that Babcock's self-imposed bottom line in this process? It's still stunning that Pittsburgh showed no interest in Babcock, considering Sidney Crosby's vast organizational influence and that the Penguins have the impactful stars Babcock seeks in Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, who are under 30. Boston apparently balked as well after missing the playoffs. And then Montreal didn't hesitate endorsing head coach Michel Therrien's return soon after Tampa Bay eliminated the Habs in six games in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The hottest-looking girls weren't interested.

"Jagr’s prize was awarded by the media, but the other honours were dominated by Canada. The tournament directorate rated Brent Burns as the best defenceman and Jason Spezza, whose 14 points led the scoring charts, was the best forward. The goaltending prize went to Finland’s Pekka Rinne after he set a post-war shut-out record of 237.05 during the group phase"

Canada leads 6-1, quite a spanking, does russia have any good defense players in the nhl?

Holy sht! after 30mins of whc finals can'eh'dians lead 4-0

Im interested in seeing how much elbowing and crosschecking Malkin gets away with...

Finland wins russia on shootout, even blind swedish refs could not help russkies to win... I hope russkies destroy sweden in the playoffs!

As good as the current refs on ice?

Sadly in europe, hockey teams usually aint owned by billionaires who use the team as a tax writeoff, and the players need to get paid, so ads it is...

Devils hired Ray Shero as their GM, thought LL would stay on as GM forever.

There is no way that KHL allows nonrussian team to win the championship.
