"The words ‘Honour, Pride and Courage’ stitched into the back of the neck of the sweater." Um. Great, but fans can't see that.

[Babcock believes Leafs have more to give | TSN](http://www.tsn.ca/babcock-believes-leafs-have-more-to-give-1.613418?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
After Monday's practice, Babcock was asked how this happens. Is this mindset something that is created organically over time? “No, we're going to force it to happen, obviously,” Babcock said.

"Leivo’s back. We’d have liked him to play more games just because he missed so much. We’re going to practice him a bit to get him up to speed before he’s ready to go. He wouldn’t be cleared yet."
