That almost resembles a look of a happy and content man in the photo of the family.... is that really Uncle Mike????

Pretty cool to know Coach Babcock is a bit of a Waterman.  Maybe he, Chelios, and Laird Hamilton (surfer god) can get together in Malibu and do some surfing or paddleboarding.

Babs is also a big shooter…

The hockey world is lucky he didn’t use the cup in some “William Tell” stunt with a shotgun.

On further thought, maybe we SHOULD be worried when “William Tell” himself gets the cup over in Sweden!

Oh Babbles...you never cease to amuse me.

Now that is a fantastic photo.

Bowman: Well, I can tell you, Bob, is that, even prior to the deadline, when he was a free agent, and everybody’s always trying to keep up with everybody else, and there was a lot of big talk about you know, free agent, Sundin was one, would Toronto trade him, and Hossa was there, but the guy that probably knows the most about Hossa is Jimmy Nill, because he was involved with Ottawa when Hossa was drafted, and then Hossa went out West, and Mike Babcock knows a lot about him, too, because Mike told me after the handshake, after the last game, he said to Hossa, you know, “Why don’t you come to Detroit,” and he said the response he got from Hossa was, he said, “I like Detroit!”
