Dan Rosen of NHL.com sits down with Team Canada coach Mike Babcock,
Do you view pressure as something good in this case?
“Oh, I think pressure is a real positive. I wouldn’t be doing what I do if I didn’t love it. I mean, it’s about adrenaline and you’re an adrenaline junkie if you’re in sports. All you have to do is watch the skiers and watch the speed skaters. The highs are very high. If you have been in the Olympic village all week like I have, you have seen people totally elated and you’ve seen people totally crushed. But the reason they are in it is because there are two sides of the equation. That’s what makes your job exciting and I think that’s what this is all about. The people in Vancouver, when I walk around this city, are so jacked up to be Canadian right now, and to be here at this event and enjoy it. I think it’s all fantastic. To me, I think the good part outweighs the pressure.”
