Mike Babcock wont bend to the pressure that befalls the Canadian mens Olympic hockey team.

wont bend to outlandish questions either. The Detroit Red Wings bench boss is
two practices deep with his squad and is already being bombarded -- as expected
-- with a wide array of questions. Speaking to reporters after practice Tuesday,
Babcock was candid yet focused on the task at hand. "You feel pressure because
its the pressure you put on yourselves to perform," he said. "We take our job
seriously. We like to brag as a nation that we are the best in the world in
hockey, but you cant just brag, (you) need to win and back it up" Its no secret
that there is pressure on Canada, not only to defend a gold medal, but also to
stand behind a reputation as the centre of the hockey world. And while Babcock
may worry about the high level of competition at the Olympics, he refused to
worry about a question of whether it was safe to room all three goalies together
in Sochi in case one of them gets sick. "You guys (reporters) spend way too much
time thinking about this stuff ," he said. "Its rare you put three goalies
together in one room? Well its rare you put any three of anyone together because
we all get our own room in the NHL."
