I know there are a number of Red Wings fans on here (hey, some of us had only them or the Blackhawks to choose from as children).  Reports just surfaced that Mike Babcock has indeed left us hanging and will be returning to his home and native land to coach their version of the Cleveland Browns.  While I certainly wish he'd have stayed, I wish him well.

Now, after only having two coaches for my entire adult life, it leaves me to wonder - who will the Wings turn to in their quest for a twenty-fifth consecutive playoff appearance, and possible twelfth Stanley Cup, in 2015?
