HARTFORD, Conn. — Dan Hurley, his bout with COVID just about behind him, made it back to practice Saturday, and the looks on the faces he saw were enough to make a coach want to lift the mask over his eyes.
And the games that preceded it weren’t exactly eye candy, you may have heard.
“When I got back into practice, it looked like dogs in an animal shelter,” Hurley said. “These guys, they were beat up. It was a little scary going in there and seeing what the collective group looked like, their energy level.”
