Leafs, Capitals prepare for gusty game at Navy this weekend

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Shortly before he walked outside Friday at Navy's Memorial Stadium, Mike Babcock said: "Hang on to your hat."

Babcock's Toronto Maple Leafs and the Washington Capitals might want to hang on to everything with high wind in the forecast for Saturday night's outdoors Stadium Series game at the U.S. Naval Academy. The storm knocking out power and disrupting travel up and down the East Coast forced both teams to practice indoors Friday, where they were left to contemplate what sustained winds of 15-20 mph and gusts as high as 32 mph might have on their game.
