Team Bonding....why??

The Flyers dont play again until Friday night, but until then, they are doing their annual "team bonding" This year it involves fishing, boating and other warm weather outdoorsy stuff. My question is, why? Shouldnt they spend their 5 days off either taking a chance to lay back and relax for a couple days (which you dont often get a chance to during the season) or maybe get in a couple extra practices (maybe work on not sitting on a 2 goal lead in the 3rd?)

Maybe I'm still a little pissed off that they've lost 2 out of 3, but I just dont see why this bonding stuff is necessary or how it will help them win games. Arent they around each other pretty much every day from September until May (hopefully) June? Arent they "bonding" then?

Im curious to see what perennial championship teams in every sport handling "team bonding" I have no evidence, but I assume that teams like the Patriots, Colts, Steelers, Spurs, Red Wings, Penguins, Phillies, Red Sox, etc, spend their spare time working on getting better, and that is why those teams all win championships
