A Split Second Sooner
The boards at Britannia were lively, which made cross-ice dump in drills far more challenging. Everything seemed to happen just a split-second sooner, and that served to keep everyone on their toes. Pat Quinn was running the practice, and he had our defense turning and racing to recover the puck before our forwards could get on top of them. It was exhausting work, but we felt the benefits of enhanced quickness would make a positive difference.
As the puck thundered off the end boards for the final time, Pat called the guys to huddle at center ice...
Pat Quinn: "You all did a great job out here today. That was a lot of good hard work, and I'm very pleased with the way you gutted it out. Now hit the showers, and enjoy the rest of the day off!"
