The successful hockey coach of Detroit Red Wings Mike Babcock will soon be signing a new contract to be the coach of the team for next year and further. Babcock during the Stanley Cup final against the Pittsburgh Penguins revealed his intention of staying with the Red Wings and the contract terms are almost through. The Red Wings management is waiting for the playoffs to get over and as soon as the season gets over the contract will be mutually signed. The Detroit Red Wings hockey fans will be queuing to book their NHL tickets well in advance after the spectacular show by their team this season.

Even after posting an NFL-best score of 12 goals in 11 games, Johan Franzen was struck by a stroke of bad luck. The Detroit Wings forward has been told to rest since May 8 due to a series of headaches which many concurred that it might be a bad case of migraine. The wait is finally over however, as Franzen was given the green light last Friday to play. He is now back with a vengeance and despite being barred from Monday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup finals. Franzen managed to play for a little over 16 minutes in the morning and scored three hits. He grimaced as he recalled how his face was hit by Gary Roberts’ arm minutes before they won 3-0.

The Detroit Red Wings have found themselves in familiar territory in the Stanley Cup, as they have qualified to play in the finals for the 23^rd time in their NHL history. They are looking impressive for winning their 11^th championship and have last won the Stanley Cup final way back in 2002. They will be hosting Pittsburgh Penguins at Detroit in Game one of the Stanley Cup finals. Detroit coach Mike Babcock is pretty confident of his team’s chances of lifting the cup this season and his only worry for game one is that he will not be able to utilize the services of forward Johan Franzen, who is out with concussions.

How do you, personally, get your morning started?

Mark Hartigan, a professional ice hockey centre, currently playing for the Detroit Red Wings, eats his breakfast from the Stanley Cup. When he appeared in one playoff with the NHL champion Anaheim Ducks previous season, one day with the Cup was guaranteed. So, he flew to his father’s house in Fort McMurray, Alberta in late August and paraded the Stanley Cup all over the town. After this Mark held a hush-hush party lasted until around 5 a.m. Waking up the next morning, he puts some Froot Loops and milk into the Cup and enjoys the Champions’ breakfast with his newborn daughter Ava.
