Pictures are worth a thousand strides. Here are 16 videos from today’s practice with Bernie Nicholls on the ice as Kings consultant. I have to wonder when the last time Nicholls was at a Kings practice in an official capacity. It was probably as a player.

Love the vids. Thanks!
thanks for putting these up – i watched all 16…(!)
hopefully, this mean slava plays tomorrow night…he looks like he’s recovered well, as he was showing good vertical movement…
one of the things i always notice when you post these practice videos is how the team is so “drill” oriented…and that “set plays” are not usually designed during practice or tried…
i realize that there’s some crossover between the two and that because of the nature of the sport, it’s hard to recreate exactly what’s gonna happen in a game…and that the team might actually have set plays they practice, but we just don’t get to see them as much…
i guess, in many ways, a player’s positioning in situations is more important than anything else…but the higher-skilled teams seem to be able to call a designed play during game action without calling a time-out…
maybe i wrong about this approach…i know it’s not basketball…but you would think a few more designed plays during practice wouldn’t hurt, no…?
