Babcock Bashing?!?

I dont understand how anyone can do this to Babcock. He has led the wings to 108 wins in 2 seasons which not many coaches can do. Presidents trophy last year and damn near another one this year. They are in the second round this year. You dont have to bash on Babcock just becuase the wings f***in sucked ass tonight. He isnt shooting the puck into San Jose's legs and wasnt doing it in the Calgary series. If you're such an expert.. then you get in there and do it yourself. Personally, i think he is a great coach! They play how they play.... too much pressure is put on the coaches to take a team to the cup every year. Yah... it is always the goal but people ahve to realize that your team isnt goign to win it every year and that ISNT the coaches' fault. s*** JUST HAPPENS!!! Quit the s***ting on Babcock and start looking at the play of people like Lang and Bertuzzi. Lang needs to wing a big faceoff and Bertuzzi needs to stop the dumbass penalties cuz he sure didnt try to hide the flying elbow or the chicken s*** slew foot. THEY NEED TO PULL IT TOGETHER.... BABCOCK IS DOING HIS JOB... now the wings need to do theirs!!!!

In all honesty, hes nothing special.

He road a hot goalie to the cup and got beat.

He just happened to beat us using the trap, ergo he is here.

nothing more.

Dave Lewis is just as good.

I know he's no Scotty Bowman by a long shot... but wings fans need to stop the comparisons becuase no one will live up to him as a Red Wings coach. No one is going to lead them to back to back cups or 3 cups in 6 years. The league is too competitive now. As for riding a hto goalie to the finals... he may have done that but neither Hasek, Osgood, or Legace was stellar and they still managed 108 wins in 2 years. That says he's doign something right!
