1. I wonder if it will inspire some of our stars to have an incredible year just because they ‘feel like something is different this year’
2. I also wonder if coaches and personnel will watch and discuss how players communicate with each other. This could help the team build as a whole. If guys aren’t meshing, take a chance at trading for someone who makes the TEAM better.

Totally agree with this. The time to “have fun” is over, it’s time to do everything possible to win.
I’m sure some people will hate this.

Seems silly but it does make sense. Have you ever lifted weights without music? Training gets more intense when the only thing you hear is pain

Keefe used music in practice originally during the low points in the season to help bring energy to practice, and then continued using it because he thought a louder environment for practice was beneficial to players, in how they’d have to communicate on the ice, to not be dead quiet, as in-game situations are not dead quiet. He also saw the Seattle Seahawks use it in practice and was influenced by that.

It was never solely to “have fun”.
Let them keep the strobe lights though, please.
