J.T. Miller Completely Destroys Cole Smith after Dirty Sucker Punch
Under new head coach Rick Tocchet, the Vancouver Canucks have been improving their record, and their latest game saw them secure a 4-3 shootout victory over the Nashville Predators.
Tocchet has brought a tougher and more physical style of play to the Canucks, which is a significant change from their style under former coach Bruce Boudreau. This new approach was evident in the game, despite being played between two non-playoff teams.
During the game, Miller was attacked by Preds forward Cole Smith, who threw sucker punches at him.
Miller showed he won't be pushed around and promptly dropped Smith. This response was a clear indication of the new culture that Tocchet is building in Vancouver.
