After a painful loss against the Seattle Kraken (scoreline 6-1), Vancouver Canucks and their coach Rick Tocchet had to face the wrath of fans online. Tocchet, who is otherwise greatly admired in NHL, was shocked at the results himself. In just about 14 days, it has been a huge turnaround for both the team and their coach.

The Vancouver Canucks have lost more times against New York Islanders than they have won. And even in their most recent outing, they were trailing behind. But to come back from there and win a game against a stronger opposition will definitely give Tocchet and the Canucks a great boost moving forwards.
