Mike Babcock Post Game, Capitals 4 vs. Leafs 3: “We think there is a whole other level for our group to get to”

On all the special teams time (specifically five penalty kills) in a back-to-back game:

Some guys are freezing and some guys are getting killed. I thought tonight, as you said, we started good. I thought we were set up good and playing well. We had a couple of sort-out problems at the start of the second period and took penalties. We spent the rest of the night chasing the game. I thought we tried to crawl our way back into the game.

I overplayed guys in the third; you’re chasing the game, and in the end, we didn’t have enough to get it done.
