turbowhistle86 155 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 With Babs presumably packing his stuff, who will be our coach next season? I'm hoping we promote from within, but what are the other options? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadgerBob 297 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 What makes you think Babs is presumably packing up and leaving? And it's either him or Blashill. Blashill has earned it and put in his time to be next in line. Blashill, with Lidstrom and Cleary Chelios as assistant coaches. Fixed that for you. Our team will be the best conditioned team in the league and he'll teach these kids how to play with a nasty side. 1 wings4thecup06 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LasVegasRocks 6 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 The last time the Red WIngs produced in the playoffs was the Chicago series a few years ago. The Wings should have won the Tampa Bay series. This will probably be thought of as blasphemy, but I would not be upset to see Babcock leave. Something has got to change and Babcock is the person who can go with Blashill ready in Grand Rapids.

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 Blashill. Hopefully Granato sticks around as one of his assistants, got a lot of our D and PK despite personnel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadgerBob 297 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 Hitch? No thanks. This team is too soft for his style of play, we'd have a new record of injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 I hope you're joking. Well with people ripping on Z and talking about Babs packing his bags and Howard being sent on a flight to Mars because Mrazek is for sure #1. Why would Tortorella not sound unrealistic? 3 sjr2012, Dominator2005 and evilmrt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pat 44 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 Tortorella would honestly be a pretty good option, has the experience to back it up. Would make the postgames so much more interesting lol. 1 MrazekFanBoy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 I hope you're joking. Agreed. If they hired Tortorella I'm not sure I could follow the Wings, because management has clearly lost its mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It might help Blash to get the Griffs out of the 1st round in the AHL Playoffs though (down 2-1 in best of 5). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well now that the Wings are done, he's got a few ringers available (Jurco, Marchenko, Mrazek). I think they'll be okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
