i assume that when you are an NHL'r and in the playoffs, your life is pretty much on hold as long as your team is alive, so summer time is short, and it is a delicate balance between resting, getting healthy, doing stuff in your life like family BBQ's and what not and training

i always think the hardest part of getting back into the playoff race for a team in LA's position is jumping over teams rather than actually making up the points - if that makes sense
