"I had it when I was on your side, prompting TNT," said Tocchet when answering reportering. "Now as a head coach, it was time to get rid of it."
There were some screenshots floating around Twitter of things Tocchet had purportedly liked. This included a tweet from TMZ regarding Miley Cyrus and adult entertainment.
Tocchet's relationship with TNT is what led to what must be one of the most awkward head coach firings in NHL history. As part of his contract with the broadcast, Tocchet had to wait at least a month after resigning before working anywhere else. Word that he's been hired by Vancouver was leaked around three weeks ago, meaning Boudreau knew he'd been replaced long before he was fired.
