Wednesday Practice

The Soviets are holding a practice this morning at Red Army Yoo-Hoo Complex and from the looks of it, all but two players are on the rink. The two players missing are forwards Pat King and Mike D'Ignazio. It's unclear why they are not out there right now, but we will follow up on their statuses after practice.

For now, the Comrades are engaged in a fast-paced practice, with a focus on special teams and breakouts.

Jamie Simek seems especially excited about the breakouts, and the defender has been heard multiple times yelling "Hey crisp outlet pass, hey."

UPDATE:

King was taking a maintenance day to heal some "light bumps and bruises", coach Trotz-Stalin said. D'Ignazio meantime is more of a mystery. All Trotz-Stalin said was, "He knows why he isn't here, and that's that."
