Did you look at his photo? You don't get legs like that unless you train hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an inference from some listening. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairGM22 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 3 hours ago, Conscience said: From the coach? Its not the first time tocs called out his training/ practice habits either Look, you're welcome to hate on Petey, lots of people like to. But anyone being objective saw his pictures in the offseason and preseason and saw he was very serious about training. He clearly had put on alot of muscle....go look at the pictures. That doesn't scream lazy or bad habits He got hurt, it was his knee, tendinitis. All players work out during the season between games to maintain their muscle mass. They have to because if they don't the skating they do will make them lose alot of muscle and weight. Now think about where players have to put on muscle and strength in the NHL. Legs and core. Guess where Petey was clearly unable to lift post January and his KNEE tendinitis....so for a player like him, who's already light and not the strongest, he reverts back to small Petey pretty quickly. Tocchet was not telling him he was out of shape or not committed, he was saying to ALL his leaders, they need to find the next level like Crosby, McKinnon, etc...to suggest all players train like those guys is ridiculous, they are maniacs, and he wants the same from his leaders because that's what it takes to win, that's all.

But I am not hearing anything from Tocchet about how his coaching could improve. I have yet to hear anything where he acknowledges that just maybe, he made mistakes during the playoffs, (he did) and could improve. One thing I know for sure... if Tocchet continues to play Pettersson with 4th liners, he will not get optimum production from him. What a goofy comment. Tocchet won the Jack Adams and was an excellent coach all season long. Pettersson played great but then disappeared after the ASG. The focus should be squarely on Pettersson. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 'This is a big summer for Petey', as Tocchet said, sounds like a challenge for the $11.6 player. There will be a lot expected from Petey, and he now knows full well what it takes to be successful in the playoffs. I get the feeling Petey is super competitive and expects the most from himself, so I think he's going to put in the work this off season. I just remember when the Canucks were eliminated and Pettersson stood on the ice, last player to leave, and he took in the fans and atmosphere. He's going to remember that and he'll want to get back there - but be successful the next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integra250 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Petey shouldn't have been 4th best shape last season. What was he thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
