The reaction to EA Sports doing Rick Tocchet dirty

Posted on by

EA Sports just did Rick Tocchett dirty with a recent update that added 32 coaches to the game and Canuck fans had a lot to say about the certain “standout features” of the Canucks coach. All of which are absolutely hilarious.

For a little bit of background, EA announced on a few hours ago they were releasing a new update that would include some patches to the game and promised it will add all 32 official NHL hockey coaches to the game:

“We’re excited to announce the arrival of all 32 official NHL coaches in EA SPORTS NHL 25, along with their unique personalities and strategies they employ in the real world, Each coach has a “slew of attributes that symbolize their real-world strengths.”

When the update came, it brought everything EA mentioned including the 32 coaches. However, something that caught many gamers eyes is the in-game version of the Vancouver Canucks Coach Rick Tocchet. This led to a wide range of responses on social media from Canucks fans about the coaches design all of which centres around the fact that he has hair on his head because Tocchet in real life has a more clean shaved head. And boy some of the responses were funny. Let’s take a look at a few of them.

First we got this tweet by twitter user JOFA Helmet where he said Tocchet looks like Biz when he got scalped a few seasons ago. Man talk about an absolute violation.

This new one is a response to the original photo where twitter user Benjamin said even the guy in the white shirt is like What The Heck. Honestly, when I saw this photo that was my exact face when seeing Tocchet.

This last one Im gonna show you however had me almost die laughing where twitter user Riotsurvivour said that EA getzlaf’d him which Damn, That’s the definition of shots fired.

This update was honestly the funniest video game update that I’ve seen in a while. Seriously, Rick looking like a skinny white washed uncle Phil with that hair. Dude looking like high school principal on a bad day. Also, the PS2 graphics ain’t doing this photo any justice.

In all seriousness tho, It’s going to be interesting to see Tocchet’s reaction to this. As of right now there has been from him or any member of the Canucks staff or players. I’m interested to see what Tocchet says and if EA will fix Tocchet’s look. I guess will have to wait and see how this all unfolds.
