from Lightning Strikes,
Lightning coach Rick Tocchet was adamant this morning that he wants to see better intensity and grit from his players, especially in the form of going to the net, or playing time will be lost and benchings may occur. Tocchet originally spoke about the power play and how he might start changing personnel, but later said his edict was for the entire team.
“This is for everybody,” Tocchet said. “If the results aren’t there, there has to be a time for the coach, I don’t care who it is, you’re not going to play. I don’t know if we’re at that time yet, but it’s getting close. We’re going to have to get a little bit of urgency. We thought we had taken some baby steps, but then Jersey happened.”
