pilldoc Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 The Flyers players were separated into four groups, lettered A through D. They skated 15 minutes of laps with a rope between the nets to prevent anyone from taking a shortcut in front. After a brief respite, they spent the rest of the session skating goal-line to goal-line suicides, four players at a time. https://www.nhl.com/flyers/news/flyers-hit-the-ice-at-training-camp--philadelphia-flyers/c-335703042 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 Thursday's skating test was not about which players are the fastest sprinters on their skates. Rather, it was a gauge of endurance and mental toughness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, sweating doesn't suddenly turn hands into skillful goal scorers. Sadly, you can't be more correct in that statement. I don't like JVR and Torts can condition him all he wants, but JVR will never change his game. OK the use of never may be a bit strong, but the odds of JVR becoming a responsible NHL player is very slim ...... just IMHO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He either plays better, or will be the highest paid janitor in Philly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Will someone claim Ratcliffe?? We'll see. I have to say for 6-6 you don't even notice the guy. That is saying something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
