When Tyler Myers made bonehead mistakes, did Tocchet call him out in those post game media scrums? Maybe he did, but I don't remember it.
I'm going to give Tocchet the benefit of the doubt in that he knows the players better than we do and knows how to motivate them. Personally, I've never liked calling out players through the media - Vigneault did it, too.
Something else, when the Lotto Line is operating, they get the attention of the opposing team's best D and checkers, as expected. When they're separated, Petey's line gets the heat. He has fought through that quite well most of this season, while carrying linemates who've been struggling. He had a tough time last night. Judging from his quote today, he took responsibility for it and didn't pass the buck.
