Morning Line

“He’s a Type A personality.  He’s a very focused, intense individual. He doesn’t move on anywhere until it’s done. If it’s not done right, he doesn’t care what the name is on the back, where you’re from or who you play for. You got to do the job. When he says you’ve got to play 200 feet, you got to play 200 feet. The game we want to play (in Vancouver) has a lot of pressure in it, a lot of skating in it. There’s no resting on the ice.”

-Ken Hitchcock on Mike Babcock.  More on Babcock from Michael Farber of Sports Illustrated.

In other words, the Canadian hockey team is learning what it’s like to be a Detroit Red Wing. That’s good for Canada. That’s not necessarily good for the Wings.
