With neither the Rangers nor the Penguins holding a morning skate Tuesday, Rangers coach David Quinn was asked why he thinks morning skates are becoming a thing of the past.
“I just think from an energy standpoint, and over 82 games, you come on rink 82 more times (if you skate on game day mornings),’’ he said. “That can be taxing. It’s such a long season, and I just think, you know, society changes, and people change. And in this day and age, when we keep coming to the rink every day and listen to the same voices over and over again, it can get old.
