From the scheduling post (again, many thanks to MLive’s Brendan Savage for putting the “master plan” together) and adding in some new details...

Babcock hopes for free-agency moves
The Detroit Red Wings have slipped from being regarded as an elite NHL team, getting knocked out of the playoffs in the first round after consecutive second-round exits.
Just three years ago, the team was a win away from repeating as Stanley Cup champions and seemed set up to sustain the success it and its fans have gotten used to for a couple decades.

A different theory as to what constitutes ‘rebuilding’ for the Red Wings
Regardless of whether you agree with Red Wings coach Mike Babcock’s assessment that scoring and depth up front doomed the Wings—and as Shark Circle points out, Babcock had hoped that the Wings would land a top-six forward as well as a top-flight defenseman to replace Brian Rafalski when he retired last spring—or whether you believe that the Wings might be better...

Red Wings coach Mike Babcock dissatisfied with his team’s depth up front
Red Wings coach Mike Babcock was anything but happy while speaking to the media after the Wings’ 2-1 loss to the Nashville Predators, speaking to the media and suggesting that the Wings couldn’t match Nashville’s four-line depth or scoring, and he’s particularly dissatisfied with his team’s trend of losing in lower rounds over the past three seasons:

Keating: Win or play golf for Wings
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Its a resolute group of Red Wings, who were getting set to play the Predators in Nashville on Friday night.
The requisite hallway soccer was in progress with nary a thought given to whether it might be the last hallway soccer 'til the fall.
Its a festival of shrug. What else can you do?
The game is an 8:05 ET puck drop. The Wings would like to be up to...

Fire Babcock? Fire Holland? Not bloody likely, nor very smart
Off-day stories continue to roll in via my ever-updated practice post, and I tend to prefer to keep everything on one place so as to not monopolize KK’s front page, but this story from 97.1 the Ticket’s Jamie Samuelssen merits an entry of its own.
Samuelssen has found that more than a few Red Wings fans are suggesting that the easiest way for the Wings’ organization...

Intent To Know: This Quote Explains Why Babcock is a Great Coach
I asked Mike Babcock what his reaction was to Datsyuk's puck flip. Did he chuckle? Babcock: "I never chuckle when it's 1-1."-WXYZ Sports Reporter Brad Galli

Stunned - Mike Babcock Relieved of Duties
Holy crap, what crazy news to start the month. In a move reminiscent of the New Jersey Devils, Mike Babcock has been fired by the Wings just a week before the playoffs with Jeff Blashill taking the reins. Here's Ken Holland explaining the move:
We certainly appreciate what Mike has done for our program over the past six years, but we weren't very comfortable with the...

Wings can't shake the injury bug
Wishful thinking was on display after Red Wings practice on Friday.
Many of the injured players were encouraged with their progress leading head coach Mike Babcock to believe that Captain Nick Lidstrom (ankle bone bruise) was ready to rejoin the lineup.
Nicks in, isnt he?" Babcock asked reporters after practice.
When the coach was informed that Lidstrom indicated that he...
