Okay so I'm guessing not a lot of people on here exercise, since it seems to be lost on some as to why he would need a recovery day. I assume since Vinny isn't playing, he is lifting and skating hard trying to crack the lineup again. Consequently, the body needs to recover, especially at his age. This is the main reason players don't add weight/add muscle during the season, not enough time to recover. If Hextall is telling the truth, than it is what it is, a day off to recover.
