Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock addressed the media today in advance of his team’s game tomorrow agains the Carolina Hurricanes and provided Leafs fans with perhaps the juiciest quote of the season.
When asked if he’s ever worried about disgruntling his players by taking away ice time or demoting them in the lineup, the fiery coach shot back:
Boom! Paging Frank Corrado, Peter Holland and Alexey Marchenko… hello? Anyone there?
Babcock didn’t name any names, but it’s clear exactly who he’s talking about. If the Leafs are smart they’ll heed Babcock’s words as a warning. Lay off the complaining, put the work in and you’ll be given an opportunity. That’s the way things work with a Mike Babcock hockey team.
