Yeah right, lol. You guys are so lucky Rapeberger was out for both games. Don't think you would have won the last one if he was in.

IMO taking a day off was so everyone can take some time to process what happened and to try and get mentally prepared for it. I mean the coaches and GM saw it happened right in front of them. I know the GM was traumatized and who knows if they are even mentally prepared to go through a game right now.
That being said though, I think playing the game can also be a good way to help keep what happened out of their minds and continue on with their everyday lives. It was the team's decision to keep playing the game today, so they must be ok with it. I don't think all the players were happy with that decision though.
