  • BOSTON BRUINS QUOTES Practice Day Friday, August 21, 2020 BOSTON BRUINS HEAD COACH BRUCE CASSIDY on Combatting Bubble Fatigue I
    BOSTON BRUINS QUOTES Practice Day Friday, August 21, 2020 BOSTON BRUINS HEAD COACH BRUCE CASSIDY On combatting bubble fatigue… I don't know. Personally, the coaching staff, you know we're doing fine. You adapt, make the best of it. There's some activities to do here around the hotel, pickleball, there's a golf simulator, there's at least two or three gym areas, tennis courts, get out and walk around BMO field. I think you got to try to take advantage of what's available to you and then go from there and try to find your routine. I think it will become easier when we have the final kind of four teams here from the East. You'll probably play on every second night I assume around 7:00 or 8:00, something you're used to. Practice times will probably be a little bit more consistent because there's less teams here so that should help everybody, assuming you play every second day once we do start. And then it's very easy to get back to your playoff mindset. In the meantime, I think our guys are doing OK. They like each other, they enjoy each other’s company. Good practice today, guys were lively, they had a day off yesterday. And then we'll see going forward you know who our opponent is or are we playing Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. We don't have that information out which is a little bit odd sometimes to try to get out in front of it, but it is what it is, and you make the best of it.
