Mike Babcock's hilarious comments during power outage in Detroit!

Who new the man with a sour look on his face nearly 24/7 had a sense of humor? The Red Wings were left in an odd position today as they were unable to practice, but Mike Babcock took it all in stride, and you may even say he saw the outage as a positive. When asked he felt about the whole situation Mike Babcock told the Detroit Free Press:

"it's good. Players didn't want to go on, coaches didn't want to go on."

Sounds like a blessing in disguise, and Mike Babcock made it clear he was gonna make use of his newly found free time:

"I get to go to Tim Horton's and have a cup of coffee."

Pretty funny when you consider the fact that the comments are coming from a man who usually shows about as much emotion as a stone. The good news is the power is back, and the Red Wings are ready to kick some Panther butt tonight!

No power at Joe Louis Arena so no Red Wings skate. What's Mike Babcock going to do? "I get to go to Tim Horton's and have a cup of coffee." — Helene St. James (@HeleneStJames) December 2, 2014
