When you've won a cup, and a Gold, and you never see your kids and you're on the road all the time, it's got to get old sometimes.
Does Babcock want to coach for 20 more years to take a run at Scotty's records?
Or does he want to go in the front office somewhere, slow down the lifestyle a bit, and try a new challenge?

Babcock has only been a coach in the NHL for like 14 years. I think it's a little early to think about him retiring from coaching. I think all of these comments he's making are to try and get Holland to wake the **** up. I really hope that Babcock quits after this season if Holland doesn't bring in some real help. And signing Suter while only re-signing Hudler or bringing back Samuelsson isn't 'help'.
