Question: Should the Detroit Red Wings not make the playoffs this season, is it time to sell the house & start rebuilding from scratch?? Will Babcock survive the season should they fail to make the playoffs? Have the players tuned out to his nonsense?
Prediction for tomorrow's Winter Classic: Leafs will win by a goal!!! :thumb:
1. In answer to your first question, if the unthinkable happens and the Wings miss the playoffs for the first time in
23 seasons, then their plan should obviously be to do the OPPOSITE of whatever the leafs have done in their
46 YEARS of futile attempts to overcome their constant, repeated failure and humiliation. Call it the George Costanza Solution.
2. I've already answered this for you many times, but I am well aware of that little problem you have in processing (never even mind
retaining!) information, so I'll gladly educate you once again. The answer is that Doctor Babcock's job is very secure...unlike Randy Carlyle's, whose job is hanging by a thread as the majority of the quickly shrinking number of leaf fans have been calling for his scalp for some time now.
3. The players are all very respectful of Doctor Babcock and his sterling resumé as one of the most successful coaches in hockey history at ALL levels. Perhaps you are confusing him with long-gone, unlamented leaf coach Ron Wilson, who - prior to being unceremoniously FIRED by his "friend" Brian Burke - was a regular "winner" of polls among NHL players as LEAST RESPECTED coach in the entire league.
4. You should have learned (from the numerous times your rotund little acolyte has humiliated himself with incorrect predictions) that it is wiser NOT to shoot off your mouth before something actually happens. MERB already has your little lapdog as its resident punching bag and laughingstock, so your services are not required.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask, but I must warn you that your answers might not arrive until next year, as I am soon about to head out. Happy New Year, Doctor, and may 2014 finally bring you the wisdom to choose a better team to root for. Hint: It could be ANY of the 29 teams NOT called "maple leafs"...although I strongly recommend against choosing the Flames, given that Brian Burke is now there and might well lead them to the same "success" (chuckle) that he "enjoyed" (chuckle) before getting FIRED by the leafs. Still, EVEN the Flames - with their DIRE future - are better than the woeful leafs.
