It's pretty insane how competitive professional athletes are:

Gio and Tkachuk are lined up at centre by the boards for a 1v1 drill. The drill is a race to the puck that's within stick length to both players. If Gio gets it, he'll defend against a forechecking Tkachuk. If Tkachuk gets it, Gio will defend the zone.

So one of the coaches is still getting set up for the drill, but Gio and Tkachuk are already lined up, both in a ready stance. Tkachuk keeps tapping the puck closer to him. Gio pushes the puck back in between them. This happens a good 5-6 times.

They weren't smiling or joking around either.
