Quiet Flight
The flight to Prague is going to be a long one - close to nine hours, so getting ready for this one might look a little different than a regular road trip.
While on a normal flight there can be lots of chatter, card-playing and wandering about, the overnight flight to Prague may just be a bit quieter. When asked what they'll do to keep busy... there was one answer that connected them all.
“I will be sleeping. Hard,” Keefe said.
That's the best way to start getting used to what will be a signifcant time change. As soon as the plane lands in Prague, the team will head to the arena to practice, shaking off their legs after a long night of sleeping on the plane.
“A lot of electrolytes, obviously you try and get as much asleep as you can," Tomas Tatar said. "It’s a long flight, just so you feel your best the next day. I think everybody is going to get a little hit by that time change but you know, the faster you adapt, the earlier you feel better.”
And yet, Tatar might not heed his own advice, saying he doesn't want to sit next to someone on the plane who will sleep too much. He wants to be next to someone with whom he can have a bit of fun.
“Probably someone who I can play cards with and will talk," Tatar said, scowering the room for a potential seatmate. "Hopefully not someone who will fall asleep. Nico (Hischier) is a good sleeper, so maybe Pally.”
