If I had a nickel for former coyotes who are currently head coaches with decent reputations, I’d have $0.15. Which I know isn’t a lot, but it’s a fun coincidence

I may be showing my ignorance here, but did r/hockey have anything nice to say about him when he was with us?

I golfed near Tempe a few weeks back and got paired with two older Canadiens. I was wearing my Yotes hat, so they mentioned they were a Canucks and an Oilers fan.
I said when I heard that Tocchet was their coach I thought “Haha! You guys are screwed! But now they are having a great year, so what the hell do I know?!?”
Anyways I am genuinely glad for him. He did lead us to our first playoff appearance in a long time, and our last one ever. Hopefully he can have some more success in the future.

I should have bet on it…

I think Tocchet can be a really good coach for a contending team (obviously this year is evidence of that) but wasn’t a good fit for a young, rebuilding team. Coyotes (rest in peace) and Tocchet were both better off going separate ways.

Happy for him.. Found a team and grew as a coach
