Today was an optional skate, with only four players who played yesterday participating. Those players were Hendricks, Bradley, Chimera, and Erskine, and they were joined by Poti, Varlamov, Sloan, Fehr, King, and Collins. Not much was done in terms of practice with so few players present; it was more like a skate to keep people in shape.
Even if there was a lack of action on the ice, there certainly was not off of it. Bruce Boudreau made his displeasure with the Rangers' tactics quite clear during his post-practice media availability. Boudreau called out Marc Staal's high hit on Mike Green, as well as the Rangers' constant battering of Michal Neuvirth, despite being warned to not do what they were doing. It remains to be seen how these comments will be taken in context, and the firestorm they will inevitably create.
That's all from a relatively quiet day at KCI. Check back later.
