Check out this note from Michael Farber's NHL column on SI.com. Is it just a coincidence that the same chatter used to float around the Kings' dressing room?
``The scuffling St. Louis Blues are going to reevaluate their conditioning program in the coming days. The problem: the Blues might be too fit. The program, designed by strength and conditioning coach Nelson Ayotte, is so demanding that team executives think it might be draining the players. “We’re looking at it all,” St. Louis president John Davidson said. “Not what we’re actually doing as much as the volume of it. Paul Kariya’s said he just doesn’t feel like he’s got his legs.” If Kariya, assiduous in his conditioning, has been worn to a nub, then it surely is time to pull back on the throttle.''

holy crap...if Kariya is complaining about too much conditioning work then by all means you have got to cut back. Say what you will about the little a**hole but if there was one thing he was all about it was the conditioning.

Yep, he had to stay in tip top shape for his buddy Teemu!
This tactic works well in hockey, FOR HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS! AM will never learn from his mistakes here. He rides his teams way too hard and fails to realize that they are not 15-18 years old.

Are you truly comparing the conditioning levels of high school hockey players to NHL caliber athletes? Bit of a stretch there mate, don't you think?

High schoolers also don't have to play 82 games a season. They'll learn the hard way in St.louis what it means to play for AM.

I think what he's suggesting is that you can get an advantage over the other teams in High School by having the best conditioned team on the ice. There's probably a big difference between the teams' conditioning in the High School leagues.
In the NHL, there's less disparity between the teams and the players on the ice - they all have similar training programs and are all well conditioned. It's not as big of an advantage to get an extra hour per day in the weight room as it is in High School.

AM's apparently wearing down the Blues...
