Fixing whatever was wrong with the Vancouver Canucks became Rick Tocchet's priority when he was hired by the team last January. And fix them he did, as they won 20 of the final 36 games of the 2022-23 season.
Tocchet was also charged with another task by the Canucks' front office: finding the next captain. Going through the search prompted him to step back. He wanted to see how players reacted after the Canucks won or lost. If Tocchet voiced his displeasure with the team's performance, he wanted to see how particular players approached practice the next day.
