I went to the practice on Sunday. It wasn’t fun and it was motivated by the team NOT working hard or looking prepared on Saturday night.
It is very frustrating to the staff to see us be scored upon eight times in the first minute or last minute of a period.
It is equally frustrating to see the team NOT come out and work hard. That to me is the biggest sin. I have been very consistent in that demand. Effort and focus are key deliverables by our players. We can’t win every game but we can expend more energy and be passionate and focused and play hard. That is all within our control.
I thought Coach did the right thing today and I was happy to see the players take it; work hard; skate hard and understand what their deliverable is to our fan base. Everything will take care of itself.
