Babcock to Verizon Center staff: 'See you in a couple days'
Despite being on the brink of elimination, Mike Babcock appears quite confident in the Toronto Maple Leafs chances in Game 6.
The club dropped Game 5 in Washington on Friday thanks to an overtime tally by Justin Williams just over a minute into the extra period. The loss puts the Maple Leafs just one loss away from elimination, but as Babcock left Verizon Center he appeared confident he would be back for Game 7 in a few days:
"See you in a couple days."

Mike Babcock said this to every staff-member at Verizon Center as he walked to the team bus.
It appears Babcock has already mapped out just how the rest of the series is going to go.
"We’ve got to go home and win a game now," Babcock said, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston. "We want to be right here in overtime in Game 7."

So after four of the first five games went to extra time, there might still be more overtime in store.
