Mike Babcock Post Game, Leafs 5 vs. Senators 3: “[Tavares] is the kind of man, he’s the kind of leader, and he’s the kind of person that our guys look up to”

On Tavares receiving the C and the team’s leadership group:

He’s the kind of man, he’s the kind of leader, and he’s the kind of person that our guys look up to and he does everything right every day. He is all about winning. He is not about John. He is about winning. He is a great example to all of us. When I ask him a question, he doesn’t think, “Is this good for John?” He thinks, “Is this good for the team?” He is a man. It’s great.

I think it’s great for Mitch and Matty, too, as they grow in their leadership roles.
