Canucks' head coach Rick Tocchet addresses the media following the team's thrilling 4-2 victory over the Nashville Predators in their opening game of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs � their first since 2020. They made a third-period comeback, scoring twice in 12 seconds after being down 2-1 with only 11 minutes left.
Let's face it. They know us. We know them...A lot of times, it's in-game adjustments. You can't be afraid to do that in-game.
He notes how he and his team maintained composure and did not panic as time dwindled, and emphasized the team's excitement after their back-to-back goals in the final frame to put them ahead.
He also reflects on his time as an NHL head coach, touching on his past coaching style where he felt the need to be harder on his players � something he has a different perspective on now. He enjoys giving his players freedom.
Tocchet and the Canucks will take on the Predators for Game 2 in Vancouver on Tuesday night, hoping to jump out to a commanding 2-0 series lead.
