Greetings.
Kent Youngblood here; we had to give Mike Russo at least one day off.
Today's practice was a short one. They were only on the ice for about 40 minutes. There was a brief assortment of breakout drills followed by some half-ice scrimmage action. Goaltender Jose Theodore, who did some skating with goaltending coach Bob Mason on Sunday, took part in his first practice with his new teammates.
The session ended with some hard skating that left a few of the players winded.
Defenseman Marek Zidlicky (groin muscle pull) didn't practice, but he did some skating alone beforehand. Meanwhile, winger Andrew Brunette was on the ice early but left with what coach Todd Richards said was mild hip-pointer pain. Richards called it precautionary.
That's about it. Have a good day.
Update: Good afternoon. I wanted to update Kent's blog from earlier this hour with a response I received from DISH Network this afternoon regarding the article that appeared on the web site yesterday.
