I wonder how well Sullivan will “shelter” Weber’s minutes tonight. You know he is playing more than POJ.
Boy is that not a true hypocrisy of professional coaches, eh? You see it all the time. Guys like Kap or newer NFL players have to sit, but THROW WEBER IN THERE!
Especially for Sully. They abused this guy in 2017. They specifically won the series because Weber had to play. They said "Oh my lord.. that 3rd pairing is so bad we will crush them." And they did.
Was it conditioning w/ Kap? Like how does Sully know his conditioning? I thought it was understanding the system.Weber trained with Nashville so he’s quite a bit ahead of Kappy in terms of conditioning.
EDIT: it’s also him or Church

I think the conditioning thing is bs. So some might have to do it the old fashion way instead of treadmills and such. Nothing kept you from taking an actual jog. Even JR walked 5 miles a day.
No reason to come in out of shape as an athlete without a health issue.
I disagree with that. POJ playing with Letang will get his minutes and we already saw that make shift 2nd pairing play over 22 minutes each and be the only plus defensman that last game. So I think Sullivan will rely heavily on the top 4. My guess is Weber plays around 12 minutes.

My anecdotal evidence when I missed Aussie Rules training is I could do all sorts of training but if it wasn’t actual running then I’d get fatigued real quick in games.
Skating would be a similar thing I’d imagine. Plus Kappy never trained with anyone and then straight into quarantine. Not allowed to leave the house or hotel room if it was that.
Then going straight into games against guys who had the preseason and a few games under their belt.
Anywho if that was the difference of us being good or bad then we are/were in a bad spot
I guess 9.5 million a year doesn't get what it used to.
Like a home gym and a personal trainer, say.
No he hasn't. The Flyers games really helping those with that ridiculous narrative.
It's called jazz.Oh we're talking about Kapanen, now. lol -- this team. Really inspiring confidence with their obvious burning will to succeed.
Man I wish I could get away with like... just saying "f*** it" to learning the songs before I got to the studio! Hell with it... I'll just learn 'em on the spot! You guys are cool with that, yeah? Might only take me a hundred takes or so but ehhhhh I doubt it... I'm GREAT at the guitar! I'll just wing it and it'll come out gold.
From what I read fitness was the main issue
Probably talking with the trainers and him, etc. Yea it was 100% conditioning per Sully
You don't lose your stamina in a week. I get nothing is like skating unless maybe run up hill, do steps fast (skipping every other step) in reps as strenuously training.
So Kappy didn't take his job seriously enough before the quarantine.
Yeah you don’t lose your stamina but you’d lose some game readiness. Also he had no physical contact training at all and training/games are a huge difference on the body.
I guess we aren’t changing our minds but that’s my opinion and based somewhat on anecdotal evidence but also makes sense to me too.
Maybe someone who played at a club level can shed some light in relation to hockey
Pens X reformed. Your shit stinks even worse these days.iirc he has given up 3 or more goals on all but 4 games since the All Star game
I put all but $1 of mine on the Pens winning in regulation tonight.
Of SB Cash, that is.
Kapanen looked fine when he was skating on the 4th line to start right away.Probably talking with the trainers and him, etc. Yea it was 100% conditioning per Sully
