Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet criticizes but offers advice to Elias Pettersson after terrible start
At this point, talking about Elias Pettersson and his on ice issues is starting to sound like a broken record... But the reality is, he is struggling, and head coach Rick Tocchet criticized him for his play, but also offered some much needed guidance.
In our humble opinion, Elias Pettersson is getting way to bad of a wrap right now, yes, his play is not living up to his contract, that is for certain, but it only being 5 games in, the sample size is not large enough to throw him to the pasture.
On one hand though, and forget about the numbers, we do believe there is something going on mentally or physically because his effort and plays we are used to seeing out of him is just not present at the moment, and head coach Rick Tocchett is just as aware.
