from Bolts Report,
In hockey terms, what Barry Melrose put the team through is what’s called a bag skate (so called because players skate until their bags fall off).
There was very little pucks used through the 45-minute, except for some early drills and battle drills. The rest of the time it was guys skating back and forth from line to line.
“The message is pretty clear, if you’re not going to work at night you are going to work during the day,” Melrose said.
I’ve never experienced what the players go through on practices like this, but it sure doesn’t look fun. But Ryan Malone did his best to keep up a good attitude during the whole thing.
“You have to or else its going to feel like it will last longer than it does,” Malone said.
