Rick Tocchet has been a solid coach in Vancouver, but recently, he's been under fire for seemingly claiming too much credit for the Canucks success. The Vancouver Canucks find themselves in a tight Wild Card chase in the Western Conference, and while they've improved in recent times, this is still a team that many believe are underperforming in 2024/25. One reason for that is all the drama off the ice, and now, we may be on the verge of more issues after Head Coach Rick Tocchet offered this statement after the teams latest win over the Winnipeg Jets. They took the information, and applied it today. That's the key, is knowing how we want to play and how to expose the other team, and we applied it today. We just have to keep hammering it down. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/BatchHockey/status/1902222736786595856'> </a></blockquote></div> While that seems like a relatively innocuous statement on its own, it's a symptom of a potentially bigger issue in Vancouver, with several fans pointing out how much credit Tocchet takes when the team win, but when they lose, he seemingly always blames his players. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/kuzmenkosbanana/status/1902225836595671527'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/LEGOAT445/status/1902224195632890230'> </a></blockquote></div> This comes on the back of criticism over Tocchet's plan to 're-program' Elias Pettersson into the type of player he wants, rather than simply play to the strengths of EP40 in what appears to be another strange move from Tocchet. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/andehwahl/status/1902048502835720200'> </a></blockquote></div> Ultimately, this is a very talented hockey coach, but given how he's handled all the drama that's come with this season and how he has constantly thrown his players under the bus rather than take accountability, he may not be long for Vancouver, especially if this team miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2025 after their performance a year ago.
