As Connor McDavid was asked about the 3rd period during a media scrum, he was obviously upset.
While holding a massive lead over the Canucks, it seemed inauspicious for McDavid that Tocchet would send out his top power-play unit.
That doesn't sound like standard NHL practice, does it? In the final ten minutes of the game, Tocchet replaced Thatcher Demko with Casey DeSmith.
It was understandable that McDavid was upset at the choices made, despite his visible reluctance to express it.
Meanwhile, he and the team must continue to push forward and win the next game.
