Mike Babcock said he was going to address that “crap” meaning his coaching contract situation at some point soon. That time was Friday.
And he was predictably non-committal about his future as the Detroit Red Wings coach. But he did acknowledge the fact that he:
1. Indeed has the option to be a coaching free agent and will talk with Detroit general manager Ken Holland in the next 10 days to discuss his situation. Why the number 10? Who knows. Because it’s a neat number? Because he’s a Pavel Bure fan?
2. Is tired of losing in the playoffs in the first or second round – code for GET ME BETTER PLAYERS KEN HOLLAND.
