Living With Mike Babcock's Words

from Scott Feschuk of Sportsnet,

“You don’t win without good people, and we’re going to have good people.”

Surely it was a surreal experience for current Leafs players to listen to Babcock’s remarks. He rarely spoke more than a couple dozen words before circling back to his key message: The Leafs, as currently constituted, bite the big one. He really rubbed their faces in it: “Long journey . . . a hard spot . . . there’s pain coming . . . massive, massive challenge.” One can only imagine what players were thinking.

Dion Phaneuf: “I better get to the gym!”

Nazem Kadri: “I better start packing my bags!”

Phil Kessel: “Man, this hammock is super comfy!”
