“If you hack a guy on the back of the leg and he lets you do it, you know what you do, you do it again and pretty soon he is your girlfriend.”
-Mike Babcock on HockeyCentral/Fan590 this afternoon. Listen to the whole interview.

Then the national media will pick it up and run with it like they did the home/away goaltending story today.
LOL… yeah, picking up on humor and sarcasm and facetiousness is not the strength of the Diggers… but what is?

“You do it together. You win together and lose together.”
I like the resolve and determination I hear in Uncle Mike’s voice. He sounds like a man that will not accept defeat.He did not make excuses. He put it all out there in eight minutes and did it without pointing fingers or losing his cool.
If all it took to win was sheer will, Uncle Mike has plenty to spare. I have to put my faith in Uncle Mike once again. Just, because.Bitches. Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Spoken like a hockey man constrained by the CRTC.

Oh man, I love listening to some of Babcock’s statements. At least he’s got a sense of humor.
