MAPLE LEAFS NOTEBOOK: Coach Keefe favours longer benches in pre-season Via sunhornby
“When our bench started to get short, I thought this is a good example,” Keefe said. “This time of year, the worst thing that could happen in that scenario , is that an NHL player gets injured. That hurts our team, the fans, the league.
Winger Adam Gaudette was injured the same day when he took an awkward spill and banged up his shoulder. He returned to practice Thursday, albeit in a red no-contact sweater. What COVID-19 concerns could not prevent, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing world sanctions did, as plans to have reunions on both sides of world fell apart.
“That said, we were hosted by the Russians for the 45th anniversary and it’s too bad we could not reciprocate. But they have to change their thought process and hopefully they do.”
