‘”I just think it’s all about energy and understanding the different ways that we can gather energy and/or making sure that the quality of our execution stays high,” Krueger said following the morning skate Saturday in San Jose. “What I find tends to happen is if you’re practicing with a team that’s tired mentally or physically your execution principles fall away and it’s better to just go off-ice and do something really intense together. That was probably one of the few things that comes also out of my experience from the Premier League, watching the way they gather and/or use energy on game days.”‘
