Man, I thought if anyone could manage/coach JT and this team, it would have been Tocc. I mean, he got a career year out of Millzy just last year and he made Millzy look like a player that every team would covet. The team came within a game to the conference finals. If we didn't get hit with the injury bug with Brockstar6 and Demmer35 and if EP40 was scoring at a reasonable ppg, we would have upset the Oil.JelloPuddingPop wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2025 8:11 pm Tocchet obviously doesn't have the tools to deal with this, or he would have.
I think were going ok for the most part this season, but after JT came back from his mysterious absence, it seems like the team just went down the toilet.

We have seen this song and dance from JT b4. He doesn't like criticism and can act pouty and like a baby. I remember on a lazy play a few yrs ago, L.Schenn said something to him and JT pretty much did the same thing.Cousin Strawberry wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2025 8:56 pm I guess Tocchet and Miller just got in an argument at the bench in front of everyone at the game then he benched JT. A yelling match after the 4th goal

I recently watched a podcast with EP40 interviewed by E.Friedman and J.Marek from a couple yrs ago. They asked Petey who was one guy in the dressing room who he respects and would keep no matter what. Petey said Schenner and I think I can see why now. A solid character vet like Schenn (maybe even I.Cole) who is not afraid to keep JT accountable. Let's face it, our soft spoken guys like EP40, Huggy43, Brockstar6 and Demmer35 are prob too scared of JT to say something to him.
