Man, I can’t believe how much my opinion on him has changed, and how much it feels like he changed our team for the good.

Ngl, before he came here all I knew about Tocc was that
1. He was a good player in his day
2. He got in trouble for a gambling ring, looks like a scary guy
3. Not a ton of amazing head coaching results.
My general opinion, as many others here, was that he was a bit of tired choice, a recycled coach from the old boys club.
I’m glad I was proven wrong and Jim Rutherford stuck to his convictions in choosing a coach, even while they bumbled Bruce’s exit and took a ton of heat.

Tocchet is a game changer. His communication skills is out of this world. He knows how to connect with the players and get everything out of them. He knows how to make each player believe and improve on their skill set. He knows how to make them all pieces of a puzzle. And he does it respectfully.
Love that he is setting a standard and culture here. Doesn’t matter who you are you will buy in.
We haven’t had that is so long.
He was the Phil Kessel whisperer in Pitt. Says a lot lol.

Where Tocch leads I follow! Let’s goooooo

I’ve had a lot of brutal hockey takes, but months before Tocc got hired I remember telling a friend “I think Tocchet would be the perfect fit for this team, crazy as it sounds” and so far it’s turned out well. I actually expected our offense to tank way more, that we’d play the trap and grind out wins. Instead we’re scoring in bunches then defending… well, at least better than the sum of our parts. Enough to be a good team, at least with Demko and DeSmith in net.
Stopped clocks and all.

Gotta admit my opinion of him has changed, for the better.

Huh, how does he even know Kelly Chase?
Never teammates in junior or NHL. Chase is from Saskatchewan while Tocs is from Ontario. The only connection I could find is that [they fought each other in back in 1997](https://youtu.be/708QoCOmEKw?si=DekbkKbWmUqD0Er8)
