Gnabe in the off-season is for sure a leader by example. He does everything and more than what is expected for him to perform as required by the teams management. This includes a large portion of gnabes off-season being spent in the Philly area so he can be fully prepped fkr the season. A typical week includes showing up at the local bars early in the morning. And pouring a few beers. Gnabe loves to practice like he plays, mostly drunk. After downing a few beers or seven gnabe will start with a short jog followed by an hour or so of shadow boxing around the bar while taking shots everytime he feels like it. Everyonece in awhile someone will start to talk smack around gnabe and he goes into he next phase if training, physical altercations with random patrons to make sure he is ready to fight on the ice. Thos has worked well for the last few years and will continue to work well we think.
