Is The Pressure of "Having" to Win Now Making Washington Tight?
There is nobody with more experience regarding the pressure of being expected to win than Leafs coach Mike Babcock. After all he coached the favored Canadian team to gold medals twice at the Olympics.
He is relishing being the underdog in this series. As he puts it "There's a lot of pressure involved when you're expected to win. You can get tight and we want them tight. We want to plant doubt in there minds. We want to make them nervous"
With Washington blowing 2-0 and 3-1 leads what must they be thinking now?
Great series with a surprising outcome so far!
