After the game, Babcock explained:
“Well, I did that on purpose… because that’s their job is to win that draw and get it out and get it in. They did that, but never got off the ice. You get paid to do certain things. That’s your job. So, it wasn’t like I was avoiding that at all. I thought that was a real god situation for us. They’re supposed to be able to start in the D zone, get us in the O zone and get off the ice. That’s their job.”
That is the kind of answer I would expect to hear in a November game on a weekday.
