Todays Practice

Coach Hitchcock led the team through a brisk, short practice that lasted all of 45 minutes today. Hitch stressed speed, quick passing and getting to open spaces. He brought the group together a couple of times when he wasn't pleased with events on the ice. He could be heard clearly in the stands as he kept yelling in a loud tone, "Move your feet."

The injured veterans remained absent from practice as the same 30 players participated. The line combinations were the same as yesterday.

Tomorrow is the last preseason home game so it will be interesting to see the lineup and if some of these lines will get a good look, especially the Nash-Beech-Vyborny line.
