[Nichols] The Devils have cancelled practice for today
March 21, 2025
Thoughts? If anything, I’d think that practice would be sorely needed after last night’s effort

Theyre all sick
I think practice is the last thing they need. The roster is exhausted; it’s why our performance dips so hard in the third period.
With 5 games in the next week, they need to rest and recover as much as possible. Need to maintain at least a 500 record to guarantee a playoff position.
Hopefully Keefe put the whole team in time out so they can think about what they’ve done
think they just have a tight schedule and are trying to avoid fatigue. The Foote news makes me think that Pally and/or Lazer are going to be out longer after the results from the imaging they had done and with that in mind we may have already lost the ability to healthy scratch underperformers (at least forwards) to send a message so maybe resting everybody for the day is the right call
They could still be watching films and getting their ass chewed by the staff. I agree the could just need a day off the ice.
A big nothing burger that will be blown out of proportion, because of last night
Hopefully players only meeting?
Huh. Looked like a team that needs some practice in the 3rd last night.
I wouldn’t want to see them today either.
Did Keefe cancel the 3rd period yesterday, too?
Coach doesn’t even want to look at them.
everyone’s injured that’s why
They better be skating the fuckin river
Do a team building exercise for the kids
They need some floor time
Honestly I didn’t think they would practice today anyway with the schedule as tight as it is. Not a surprise or a big deal at least to me. At this point in the season a Friday practice even after a bad loss like that won’t do much. It is what it is right now.
No real issues with this. Our goal is still the overall big picture of making the playoffs – I’m not making excuses for collapsing in the third, but punishing a team that was exhausted by exhausting them more is stupid with another game tomorrow and needing them to do their best to secure the playoff spot.
