LATEST | Tocchet calls out his players in the post-game interview

The Canucks hosted the Kraken last night and yet again they struggled to impose their style suffering another loss. The Canucks have now lost their last 4 outings and Tocchet came out strongly about the team's performance. The result was not the issue as much as the effort that came behind it.

Tocchet clearly wasn't satisfied with the team's effort and did not hold back when he was asked to comment on it. The team's head coach pointed out that this sort of effort was unacceptable especially after they had just been on a day-off. He specified that professionals need to be able to maintain their energy levels even after days off, he even suggested that he could do some more baby sitting if the players couldn't handle it by themselves.





Tocchet was also asked to comment on Miller's behaviour when he left the bench early and specified what the superstar forward needed to work on:


Miller's attitude on the cameras had definitely changed since Tocchet came in. Missing a golden opportunity like Miller did on that breakaway surely is enough to piss a player off, however a high-end player like J.T. Miller needs to be stronger mentally.
