when you have been in the league for as long as i have your free day is really important... us old vets need a nice day of rest and relaxation. our bodies dont work as well as they once did, we are constantly sore, that click in whatever joint is only getting worse, without our day off we would be broken and useless. throughout all of that i am one of the guys that puts it all to the side and lays my body on the line every night, pushing it physically and trying my very best to still be a workhorse out on the ice. that day of rest has become extra special to me because of it. my couch has become my very best friend on sundays. ill usually throw on the SHL network, watching highlights of that weeks games for most of the day. order some food for delivery, maybe jump in the hot tub for a bit if im really feelin it that week. the night usually ends with a good movie... if i can stay awake through the whole thing.
