So what was the point of icing this lineup? Anyone have a really good reason? They were in Abby which is supposed to be close. How is this preparing them for the opener? Sometimes it feels like this organization always like to make things harder than they have to be.

Lowest scoring team in preseason. TOCCHET needs to focus more on offense we need a lot more scoring drills this is awful hockey.

 

Tocchet's brand of hockey is much closer to Travis Green's style.

 

They get their goals from being opportunistic through playing low event hockey. Force the opposition to make a mistake through heavy forechecking, clogging the neutral zone, and capitalizing on the powerplay.

 

His style preaches patience and attack as a unit. This team has tried being a gunslinger team, but they don't have good enough defense and two way forwards...and frankly not enough top end skill to do that.  This team needs to learn to play a boring style for now, meaning as a fanbase this will likely lead to more boring games, but could very well earn us more W's.

Has the team sent more than 1 forechecker at a time this preseason yet? Every puck gets knifed in and the guy that knifes it in chases with zero support because the other 2 go change every time.

 

Minus the shell this is Travis Green hockey thru and thru.

 We’ve been warned that Tochett’s game plan will have us seeing less goals… oh fun 

Aqua man and the fans will quickly over rule this direction. No one wants to see a defensive team even if they win games awful hockey isn't worth seeing.

 

Us the fans want goals and entertainment even if the teams losses if we score a lot that's all we want to see.
