So is Tokarski good? Also what will be his nickname?

He played a good game. Team also played better defense in front of him than they have lately. He’s got a little Mrazek in him, in terms of being a bit wild in net. If teams get more tape on him, his commitment (often overcommitment) to the first pass will likely be exploited.

Also, his nickname is apparently Ticker.

Among people whose professional careers involve rating players, he seems to be doing pretty well.

Beyond that, and beyond the Canes fanbase, do you hear word one about the guy?
He's fairly popular on the hockey podcast circuit and on Sirius. Now, how much of that is due to his personality vs his skill set, I can't say.

In a recent The Athletic article, I was surprised to see Cory defending Jarvis and his selection to the Four Nations team. I didn't realize that there had been blowback about it.
