Tocchet adresses Moore's hit on Hughes: His response says it all
Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet has promptly responded to the questionable hit Kings forward Trevor Moore threw on captain Quinn Hughes. The former NHL veteran, though subtle, made it clear that there should have been a response from his team.
The Canucks were the victim of a 6-3 defeat during the game in question and are a modest 5-5-0 across their past ten games. It is not trending in the right direction with the playoffs rapidly approaching and other teams riding a hot streak entering the postseason.
Tocchet, when asked about the hit in question from Saturdnight'st's clash, was very prompt with his answer:
«You can only control your first shift tonightFocus on the task at ha" d.»

The Canucks' head coach would like to see more energy and more response from his team as they coast toward the playoffs playing pedestrian-level hockey.
The team will meet with the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday night for a crucial divisional matchup.
