Brooks Orpik tells Jim that he's heading to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. He's hoping for sun and 75 degree weather.
Orpik says he is looking forward to refreshing his mind and body during the All-Star break.
He will not be training during the break and expects his body to hurt at the first practice back; but the time off will make the remainder of the season "seem a lot easier."
