Tocchet in a landslide lmao

Ok how bout Tocchet vs Green?

 

[rypper]

That was interesting Pettersson...

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Just for fun, can we open a Boudreau vs Tocchet poll to distract us from the game?

Anyone voting Broudreau over Tocchet is trolling. There's a reason nobody's even considered him since.

Do NHL players get flu shots? They're literally free for the public, you'd think the players would be given them in like November

 

[Bgav]

The low shot totals are starting to get really annoying. I’m a fan of Tocc but not making any adjustments is really annoying

Im sure Gaudette does

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

im good for the night

 

[Quinning]

This team desperately needs another top 4 d man. Needed to address this in the offseason and for whatever reason chose to ignore it.

Could have been done with combining the cap hits of Forbort, Desharnais and Heinen.

 

[EpochLink]

Get a goal before the period ends.

Yikes. Yet another game where the Canucks get out shot and out chanced in the 1st.

I hope it's not an overall strategy to pass up good looks on net. Swayman hasn't been playing well lately so they needed to get on him early

 

[M2Beezy]

Im sure Gaudette does

Bertuzzi too

Nearly $6M of cap those 3.

I don't see why we can't criticize Tocchet? We rip into Pettersson, Myers, Silovs and many others but we can't the coach?

Tocchet has to improve as well and I don't see an issue in saying that. Whole team is out of synch and needs to be better. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that ...

He had us 10th in the league with frequently absent star players idk

Like sometimes I think yeah this looks bad, but big picture, could I have expected much more than this? Idk.

Definitely have a big eye on our games rn beginning with the last Florida one. We are healthy sans Hronek. If we have a bad ten games stretch here, my eyes will be perked

Yes there’s team definitely needs more pieces but we aren’t decimated like we were early in the season.

 

[EpochLink]

Can't really faulty Tocchet on the slow starts, the players need to get their head out of their asses. Instead of waiting for Boston to come to them, they should go at Boston

There’s a difference between minor criticisms and saying stuff to the effect that we’re poorly coached and the coach is the problem.

There are some things that could probably be done better but in the bigger picture the coaching here is fantastic.

 

[Kryten]

Lankinen and Hughes are the only reasons weare where we are in the standings, HMto DeBrusk, Garland, and Sherwood

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Ok fine.

Fire Tocchet and bring in Babcock.

 

[EpochLink]

Fire Tocchet and bring in Babcock.

For what purpose? Babcock is pretty much done in the NHL.

 

[Bonham]

Bruins getting in the way of everything.

 

[TruKnyte]

What a horrible period. Can't hit the net for shit.

 

[NailsHoglander]

Are we allowed to criticize Tocchet for not using Hughes as a rover on the PP?

Im very open to all the Tocchet PP criticism because thats where we definitely aren’t doing enough well. Not threatening enough consistently. Yes we are short another F threat but point stands.
