Yes put me in coach!

While I applaud the sentiments its still a game of contact. And in contact sports mass rules. When a 230 pound defenseman staples our 170 pound first line centre into the wall doing 27 miles an hour all the flexibility in the world isn't going to hide the fact that our guy is going to get rocked.

No one is saying that it will.

Having a team focus on high core strength and flexibility will also make our players better at winning puck battles and board battles.

there is a joke where you should be used to playing with yourself on the ice--but might be misunderstood by some

No, but some sort of flexibility training whether it be plyometrics, yoga, BJJ, will make your joints more flexible and less likely to come out of their sockets. It will also increase the strength in your joints and tendons preventing injuries.

If Chara elbows you in the head or you block a Weber slapshot off the foot, it doesn't really matter how flexible you are and how much you can bench.

Yeah, so I don't think Kreuger plans to minimize those injuries.

It's all just talk.
