The Toronto Maple Leafs' offense erupted for four goals Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres, but head coach Mike Babcock was critical of the team's post-whistle shenanigans.

The Maple Leafs potted four regulation goals for just the second time in their last 17 games, but Babcock was clearly more focused on the team's rough stuff after the whistle.
"Well, I think we're obviously going to look after that in the offseason, I can promise you that," he said, according to TSN's Mark Masters. "There'll be none of that fooling around going on. But, we're a group, obviously we don't have a lot of that now, but we'll get that fixed."
Babcock was also cautious in giving out too much credit to his young roster despite the team collecting its third win in four games, and appeared to take a jab at the opposition.
"One of the things you have to be real careful of this time of the year is when you're a non-playoff team is over-evaluating what you have because the team is playing against you some nights isn't prepared to play," he said, according to Jonas Siegel of The Canadian Press.
Babcock said there would be pain this season, and it appears wins won't deter that.
