Mike Babcock and Don Cherry "Bomb" have both been fired for very different reasons. With Cherry's firing being extremely polarizing, Dave and Dan will weigh in on the good, the bad, and the ugly of Don Cherry's career and the comments that got him blown out at Sportsnet. How bad was it? And does it really matter? Babcock was given the richest contract for any NHL head coach in history after leaving the Detroit Red Wings for the Toronto Maple Leafs. His regular season record was pretty solid, but Toronto is a different beast. What is next for Mike Babcock? We've got the perfect fit... Minus 32...Can you guess what that number indicates as it relates to your Detroit Red Wings? Everything we say goes the opposite way. We defend Jimmy Howard, and he makes us look like jackasses. We credit this team for a hot start, and well...you saw what happend. Steve Yzerman has demonstrated a very simple way to make trades to effect his team for the better in the present and future. We'll give that to you. We give you our Hartford Horn player of the week (two weeks) as well as our selections for the Manny Malhotra Grinder of the Week (two weeks) Learn more about your ad choices.
