from Shawn P. Roarke of NHL.com,
Less than two hours after the Blackhawks completed an eight-hour post-game flight from Chicago to this picturesque European capital, the team was on the ice, going through a spirited practice that featured a lively scrimmage and some drills.
“It was just getting the bus legs out a little bit, so to speak,” Hawks captain Jonathon Toews said.
Despite the rigors of flying overnight to Europe and arriving in Zurich in the late afternoon Saturday, the Blackhawks welcomed the opportunity to hit the ice for an hour—even if many of them were slipping on equipment that was still slightly damp from Friday night’s 4-3 win against Minnesota at the United Center.
“I definitely felt a little tired,” said Patrick Kane, who had two goals Friday night. “It was a good practice, though, to get the kinks out.”
