What is your opinion, should the practice after the game reflect the game you had?

I really would like to have some other views on this. Because we followed our weekly plan quite to the letter.
our week looked like this: (this was U18 team)

Thursday: off-ice + on-ice (team play)
Friday: off- ice + on-ice (pre game team play)
Saturday: Game
Sunday: Game
Monday: off-ice (aerobic/recovery) + on-ice (skills / low tempo)
Tuesday: off-ice + on-ice (individual tactics/ sag etc)
Wednesday: no practice

We would do some adjustments depending on the games but the monday was always low tempo skills.
So any thoughts on monday sessions or how do you see the whole week program

Kai, when I have a team that practices regularly as I had in college I follow this plan. The first 20-30 minutes in every practice focuses on role 1.
Monday, Game playing role 1, practice individual offensive skills and skating skills. Dryland after practice with activities like spin class on bikes or plyo's.
Tuesday: Game playing role 3, individual defensive skills. Checking techniques and situations up to 3-3.
Wed. Game playing role 2, team offensive skills. Breakouts, power play, cycling etc. Situations 4-3 to 6-5
Thurs. Game playing role 4. team defensive skills, dzone, pk, battling. Situations 3-4 to 5 on 6.
Game Fri. Sat.
