Coach Wilson gives his thoughts on the upcoming offseason...
Even though the players will technically have the next five months off, Wilson wants them to be working harder than ever. He's instituted a new type of fitness testing.
"What I've told our team all along, we've got to start training and driving ourselves to become elite athletes, forget the hockey part," said Wilson. "We're nowhere near an elite team when it comes to your max VO2 (maximum heart rate) and our overall conditioning, which doesn't come from a hockey season. It comes from your work habits that you put yourself through in the summertime and offseason."
"My God, if you haven't made the playoffs in the three of four years, those four or five months that you have you ought to put them to good use."
