from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
I began my phone conversation with Wings coach Mike Babcock by saying I was trying not to get too caught up in the third game of the season, but that’s where he cut in.
“I’m caught up in it, you may not be, but I am,” Babcock said. “We’re 0-2.”
Babcock isn’t fun to be around when his team isn’t playing well. Dropping a season-opening pair to Central Division foe St. Louis in Stockholm did not sit well with him. So, yes, he’s jacked up for tonight against the young-and-rising, Cup-contending Blackhawks, who grabbed three out of four points from Florida in Helsinki.
“I watched their games because they played before us and, to me, they got up and down the ice really well,” Babcock said of the Hawks. “They’ve got tons of offense. I was impressed with their young players.”
