I did not plan on spending Wednesday asleep, but I knew that the Red Wings were not practicing in Vegas, and that there would be no update on Dylan Larkin until Thursday’s “morning” skate ahead of a late-night game in Vegas (10 PM EST start on Bally Sports Detroit/ATT Sportsnet Rocky Mountain/Sportsnet East/Sportsnet Ontario/Sportsnet Pacific)…
So when I was unable to get up, even to take care of Aunt Annie, I indulged and allowed myself to rest. I have been feeling under the weather (non-COVID-related, as they say in the NHL these days), so I let myself rest.
I apologize for the lapse in coverage, but some days you feel sick, and I have learned that if I take half-a-day off, it allows me to get back to work a lot quicker than it does if I try to push through. Throughout this 11-games-in-17-nights stretch, I’ve been sick, and I’ve been battling through as much as I possibly can to deliver as much content as I possibly can, so this “maintenance day” sort of happened.
But I’m glad that it did.
