Canucks Head Coach Rick Tocchet speaks:

“Our decision making with the puck, the turnovers – it was a loose game. It was game 1 and we’ll learn from it.”

Not a single vote for Hughes to win 2024-25 Norris Trophy… What’s more important: team or personal success.? For the Captain, it MUST be the team first and foremost. His play must reflect that personal recognition will follow right behind:

If I'm Adam Foote, I print this out and leave it in Quinn's locker today. #Canucks https://t.co/e3eL53jPT1

Calgary Flames cap four straight goal comeback with overtime winner to take 2024-25 opening season game 6-5 over host Vancouver.

*********

Brock Boeser admits way Canucks lost “unacceptable “:

“They outcompeted us those last two periods…We know it’s unacceptable. We have to learn from it.”

“That was a year and a half ago hockey,” Tocchet says of Season Opener:

Rick Tocchet: We got away from our identity. The play away from the puck was not good. That was a year and a half ago hockey. #Canucks @Sportsnet650

Long range goals on Silovs a concern for Head Coach:

Rick Tocchet on the long range goals Šilovs conceded: I have to look at some of the goals and talk to Marko. That's something we'll continue to work on. #Canucks @Sportsnet650
— Brendan Batchelor (@BatchHockey) October 10, 2024

Overreacting is one thing, the way Vancouver played as a team last two periods, though:

Before another stunning Game 1 for Canucks, Rick Tocchet tried to warn us against over-reacting to season-opener, win or lose. Yeah, but…

Conor Garland: “Play like that, and you'll lose a lot. It's Game 1, but we can't do some of the things we did.” https://t.co/vEpBHmNNTL

Head Coach Rick Tocchet takes part blame for lack of readiness of team:

Rick Tocchet post game. Took some of the blame post game for the amount of time he spent on transitional work in camp & what it came at the expense of defensively. Emphasized it was just one game. #Canucks pic.twitter.com/6VsyBdSaNS
