Dan Riccio and Satiar Shah react to Rick Tocchet’s first media availability as Flyers head coach, including his pointed comments on Elias Pettersson’s confidence and leadership. They explore whether Canadian market pressure is overblown, the difference between criticism of stars like McDavid vs. Marner, and how team identity is built around players like Barkov and Tkachuk.
