Practice 12/13/07

Today turned out to be an optional practice for the team. As such, here are the players who practiced:

Kari
Slater
Thorburn
McCarthy
Haydar
Zhitnik
Boulton

I did not stay the entire practice as it was not all that exciting to watch the 7 players who did practice do their drills.

The drill(s) I saw centered around passing in the neutral zone followed by 1 or 2 of the players taking the pass and going in to shoot on Kari. The passing was both touch passes as well as tape to tape open ice passes.

There were about 23 fans in attendance. Some of them left after a few minutes to wait out next to the player parking lot for autographs as the players drove out of the facility. It looked like all the players were in the facility but just not on the ice.

No observations today because, as I said before, there were only 7 players skating and there was not much to observe.
