We’re outstanding in our activation off-ice," Krueger said. "We loved the way guys have come in strong to every practice since the beginning of training camp, so we activate immediately on the ice. What they’re doing off the ice is getting their bodies ready. Our soft-tissue injuries have been extremely low because of the work the guys are able to do and how they understand how to get themselves ready. I don’t find that hitting the ice on game days is the norm anymore. For us, it definitely will not be."

Awesome!  Been saying it for years, game day skates are unnecessary, about time.  Should help them stay fresh mentally later in the season.

I hope he can get Eichel to stop chugging four cups of coffee hours before the hockey game. Seems like he’s just providing him an espresso machine instead 

I remember that red bull pre-game clip his 1st or 2nd year, good stuff.  Espresso > energy drink for sure.

That's the question regarding everything RFK does.

RFK. Super. "Now it's on to Chicago and let's win there!"

Practice schedules are as per Rip Simonick.

Two things have been constant for 50 years.  The players have changed; the colors have changed; the owners, the rules, the equipment, even the arenas have changed.

But they've never won a Cup, and Rip always has been there.

"Never won a Cup" isn't a constant. It wasn't a thing that first season. So... Rip. (And the team name. And playing in the city, something the Bills can't boast. And Sabre Dance as a theme song. Maybe a few other things. Let me think about it.)

Sabre Dance hasn't been the theme song for a long, long time.

Ive never understood why teams have morning skates? Let the players rest...there is time for that in pregame warmups...

Overuse and muscle fatigue will likely tempee any gains from it and it will likely end up causing more injuries late in the year.
