Angry birdThat’s about as angry as I’ve seen Tocchet as coach here
Angry baldAngry bird
haven’t seen tocch like this since his playing days
i hope this scares them straight because they’ve just turned their affable players' coach into the homicidal maniac he was when he played for the flyers
This made me think about my life, I’m going to start to put in workGood, I hope he puts the fear of God into them. They’ve been playing like wins are guaranteed every night and not putting in the work
My recipe for our PP - shoot the f***ing puck.
We are overpassing it and looking for cute one timers or clean look wrist shots.
Get some muffins on net and crash for rebounds. Yeesh.
So many players on the Canuck, particularly in the bottom-six, have overachieved this season. Maybe the hockey gods are finally starting to kick in and some of these guys are finding their natural levels.
And it's becoming more than just a possibility that Mikheyev follows Kuzmenko out the door at the end of the season. They need far more from a winger earning $4.750m a season.
His skating is just completely gone right now...Honestly what the hell do we do with the monstrosity that is Mikheyev right now? He had one shift in like the entire third period. Running into the playoffs with Loui Eriksson 2.0 at 4.75M is insane when we desperately need grit, sandpaper, and scoring depth. At this point I wish we kept Kuzmenko instead just so our PP has a formation
Too soon to tell.That knee injury in pre-season destroyed his career. He was known for his speed and quick acceleration that lead him to many breakaways on end throughout his career. We are seeing none of that this season.
Shell of his former self.
But apparently the Canucks medical staff is the issue.That knee injury in pre-season destroyed his career. He was known for his speed and quick acceleration that lead him to many breakaways on end throughout his career. We are seeing none of that this season.

Mikheyev legitimately looking like Roussel post-injury rn but he wasn’t this bad at the start of the season… he was actually good even if the skating was roussel-y
Doesn’t Seattle have pacific air?They're coming home! Smell that pacific air!
Not to derail this thread but how the hell did a grinder coming off a 20 point (pace) season get a 12M contract lol?
(rhetorical question, 'cause I know the answer is Jim Benning, but still)
The comparison is scarily apt, though.
The 3rd line was carrying the team recently.We miss Joshua. That third line gave us scoring depth that was tough to stop.
Tocchet is such a refreshing change of pace from "We had a lot of chances. Good team over there"
