CanucksJay Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 To your point @BlueRT talked about the guys having "plane legs". To me this sounds like a coach who has a good pulse on his team. Pretty sure you jumped the gun complaining about an imaginary "bag skate" that never happened. A tough practice is not the same as bag skating a team. The players respect RT and does what he tells them to do. Even when he doesn't say things anymore, RT has even acknowledged that the players take care of it themselves. To me, it sounds like RT is pushing the right buttons. It seems silly to be second guessing what he is doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t Torts a guy that gets aggregated? And Sutter doesn’t command the same respect as Tocchet does so I think you got it wrong regarding him. He seems to get close to players and get their respect in a way that I haven’t heard of regarding Sutter or Torts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT does indeed seem to have the pulse of the team better with his 50 years of experience than Blue and his internet connection. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread was started right after the Philly loss and after he went all Torts on the team. It is all different since then clearly. And Tocc has shown that he's not an arrogant ignorant prick like Torts or Sutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
