Don't You Tell Mike Babcock That He's Not Hungry For A Victory

Line of the day from Babcock: "There's a deli called Schwartz's in Montreal that I'm dying to have a sandwich from"

So I got a couple hundred bucks coming to me if Tampa Bay manages to win the Stanley Cup, but I think Mike Babcock still somehow just made me a Red Wings fan. I love honesty from head coaches. I'm sure Babcock would love to keep winning for his job security, or for another opportunity to win the most prestigious trophy in North American sports, but I'll de damned if ain't jones-in' for some cold cuts. That's what I call career aspirations. Sometimes you just got food on the mind. Especially when you have an opportunity to head back to a place that your favorite restaurant calls home. If you don't have a go to meal in every city or state you have ever visited then you are doing it wrong. Food and drinks are half the reason I travel. Experience a city? I don't give a crap about landmarks, museums or other tourist traps. Tell me where I can indulge myself with the finer things in life guilt free because it's vacation. Give me a locally brewed beer and Yelp's finest sandwich. Yeah, Babcock has a thirst for success, but nothing short of a #2 with extra sauce from Schwartz's can cure his hunger. I suppose I am still rooting for the Lightning, but I'll sleep well tonight knowing Mike Babcock is getting those all too familiar butterflies in his stomach awaiting his all time favorite cheat meal. That's what we call a silver lining. Throw some lipstick on that pig before you roast it, slice it and throw it on Babcock's plate. That's the face of a man that will stop at nothing for some mood altering grub. If a man can't get can't receive a promise of oral satisaction on his 52nd birthday is there really any hope for humanity?
