Keefe says he changed today’s session from a full practice to a lighter optional because many of the players he expected to take the ice were not available. “All of a sudden we were light And many of the things I wanted to do today were not going to be possible with less people.”

What does it mean “not available”? I’d like to imagine any one of us calling into work and telling them “I’m unavailable today so I won’t be coming in”… I wonder how that would pan out
Lot of players banged up and sick so makes sense. Toronto media will lose its mind tho to generate clicks
You can really see by some of these comments who the young people are. Half of these grown ass men have plague bearers at their home, kids always get their parents sick and that shit can stick around for months.
The full quote has a tiny bit more nuance to it:
> Quite frankly, we had a few players that I expected to be available for practice today that played last night that were not available to practice today. So, all the sudden, our numbers were real light.
This is probably a nothing burger but honestly its a pretty weird quote from Keefe. Saying it like he did implies that this was a surprise to him and that maybe it was something outside of illness or injury. So many times this season Keefe has had small foot-in-mouth moments during these media spots.
I seen people on twitter trying to imply that they “quit on Keefe” and just didn’t show up but they had a team meeting before scheduled practice so everyone was at the practice rink
They also just played 3 games in 4 days and play again tomorrow, I think a little rest might go a long way at this point in the season.
