Rick Tocchet has something to prove. Replacing the incredibly popular Bruce Boudreau, he needs to perform well in Vancouver.

Clearly he is taking this to heart, as he premiered a new drill today. He wants the players to reach another level of fitness, which is easier said than done.

We wonder if the players have truly bought in to Tocchet's system, as this definitely doesn't look fun.

Either way, Rick Tocchet is assuredly making a name for himself as a unique head coach!
