As for Jankowski, I will never consider hard work or preparation as any kind of negative or reason to downplay success. I want to hear that guys are working their butts off in the summer to improve.
More power to him!

I have no issue if guys aren't skating as long as they are still working out.
These guys have long seasons (especially CHL playoffs) and play a lot of hockey. If they want to take a month off that is fine.
Wouldn't be surprised if that's why a guy like Smith took some time to get his game going. After going to the Memorial cup he probably hasn't played a lot of hockey or skated a ton since.
