This is not your X-box where you can play for 10 straight hours and the players never get tired. Throw in a Vancouver team that has rested for a week and flames were lucky to get a point. In my eyes that is horrible scheduling by the NHL.

This is not 1972 when conditioning was working on the farm or in the steel mills and cutting down beer consumption and Smoking.
I think that the consensus opinion is players are in the best condition of the season on the first day of training camp and the goal for the rest of the year is to try to maintain somewhat close to that level.
