Coop on McD and Rutta skating today:
"That's part of the progression. They're out for a while, next step is to get them on the ice, and then the next step will be practice, and then conditioning, and then (games). So, it's still early, but it's good to have them on the ice."
"They've been through this before. Especially, Mac's been in this league for awhile and gone through some injuries. Especially the way practices are. Practices in training camp are a lot different than the practices in March. So the conditioning level should be there. It's how much the banging goes on and the battle drills and stuff like that and in the end you gotta start putting them in some of those drills. But we're still a little ways from that yet. The schedule mandates too when you practice and how hard you practice and we're kinda going through a stretch here... so this is probably our biggest, our last stretch of condensed games and then we get a little break here. We'll have to find a way to get them in."
