The Vancouver Canucks’ recent victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets has sparked a ray of hope for the team. This NHL season will end on April 13, and the new head coach of the Canucks, Rick Tocchet, hopes for the best for the team.

The Canucks’ 5-2 victory over the Blue Jackets has motivated them to make a comeback in the league. For now, Tocchet wants his team to take a good rest and perform at their best. In a post-game video, Rick Tocchet could be seen motivating his players in the locker room.

Rick Tocchet’s main agenda for the Canucks

Before the match against the Blue Jackets, the Canucks were obliterated by the Seattle Kraken, 6-1. Right before the Kraken match, the Canucks management team fired head coach Bruce Boudreau and added Tocchet as the head coach. Fans were disappointed with the management, as the coaches were solely blamed for the losses.

In the video, shared on Glovey McGlovin’s YouTube channel, Tocchet says, “You know we are a resilient team. We talked to some guys. The guys that came back harder. That’s the stuff I love. You know you can’t play great game every game. These nine days you gotta have a plan boys you know you gotta have a commitment. Right? Make sure you have a commitment to wherever you’re doing. I’m a big believer in that. You got to make sure you come in and as best shape you can. What you guys gone through you guys need the break. You guys deserve it.”

Fans react to the locker room discussion of the NHL team

The recent controversy surrounding the Canucks’ management has drawn a lot of attention from the team’s fans. During every single Canucks’ game, fans have been observed shouting “Bruce, there it is” whenever there’s a goal by the Canucks. It looks like they miss their ex-head coach, a lot.

Here are some comments by fans who had some words for Tocchet-

“Bruce era: Players talk, pass around a belt. Rick era: Coach talks, Passes himself around.”

“Take your time Rick. The other Western Conference NHL teams wish to be as patient as possible with the Canucks Organization as it decides how to change or if so.”

“Now Vancouver will win games and miss out on a good draft pick lol.”
