I think it means that they’re managing internal conflict without the intervention of coaches. AKA solving problems before they get so out of hand that more people have to step in.

Probably guys trying to hold eachother accountable rather than management needing to intervene

Hronek put a practice rink in his backyard, maintains it throughout the winter, he’s a big part of getting ice time for practice

It means that drama and tensions gets sorted out by the players and the leadership group internally, rather than festering and causing a bigger problem that forces coaches or management to intervene.
The Petey – Miller rift is a perfect example. They couldn’t put on their big boy pants and sort things out in the dressing room so they had to go the nuclear route and trade one of them
ElGordoDelJordo
Probably the history of relationship cliques in the Canucks room, leaders being unable to reign in disruptive personalities (like Miller), and holding each other accountable

Is it a jab at Hughes being a less-than-stellar leader in the room?
Admt-
I think you know this but (imo) the implication is that the coaching staff have had to spend time and energy in the dressing room trying to establish standards and accountability when on competitive teams, the players do that themselves.
kneejerk_nuck
They’re definitely playing helmets and gloves in the dressing room.
designisagoodidea
It means Petey is and always has been a high maintenance locker room cancer.
EverySecondCountss
It was reported that Hronek was keeping guys accountable, so that’s probably it.
Last time Tochett said this, we ended up with the Miller vs Petey bullshit rumour mill but I have more faith in the group of guys to be men and leaders, than I did with that group with Miller and Hughes being « leaders ».

Sounds like all the big egos are finally gone and we can actually make some teamwork progress
underneathsink
Meaning the coach doesn’t need to give a big speech between each period to let them that they’re playing like shit.

Future Captain baybeeeee

I guess it means Foote is finally freed up to do some actual coaching? Didn’t realize that was what was stopping him before, but I guess we knew it had to be something.
arazamatazguy
Big takeaway for Canucks fans is they should realize unless they’re in that room they have no idea how good someone like Hughes is at leadership and believing some 18 year old is a future captain is silly.
Ok-Price-2337
Feels like the leadership group of Pettersson, Miller and Hughes were just too extremely different from one another to gel and actually lead a day-to-day locker room.
Players bitch and complain and slack off sometimes, and it’s good to have someone like Hronek keep every one going day-to-day.
CDL112281
I would suggest it means Hughes wasn’t as great an off-ice leader as he is on-the-ice
And that’s not a shot. Not everyone is captain material, not everyone can tell disappointed and underperforming players to wake up, even if they’re unquestionably your best player.
TheAvocad00
Seems like Hronek has better leadership skills than Petey, Hughes, and Miller combined.

They’re fighting it out in the parking lot

It means that the team and locker room is more united and is holding themselves accountable.
The whole Miller/Petey fiasco definitely made the locker room divided and toxic. I now have come to think that it has likely had some sort of division in it since Horvat was traded. That trade left a leadership vacuum that multiple people tried to fill and butted heads.
Now that the roster is being reset the locker room unity may be healing. It’s early and it could need more changes to truly fix itself but I hope it’s close.

Oh I wouldn’t worry about it, it probably just means that the players are taking on the roles of the medical staff that we aren’t paying for. Nothing to worry about here
Professional_Wall787
I think it also helps that the Abby guys came up together so likely they will be pushing eachother and holding eachother accountable. Petey and Quinn didnt go through that and were almost immediately became the franchise players and that probably kinda backfired.
Swayzee2017
Interesting to hear a lot of these reports come out now that ~~Garland~~ is gone. Could he have been a thorn in the room ?

Having a 6’9 behemoth in the locker room can fix peoples attitude 😆
Hellosweetparadox
They were to busy making sure Quitter Hughes had the red carpet treatment and if anyone’s feelings don’t align with Hughes feelings was banished to Torts Murphy bed
Hairy-Piglet-470
Hronek is 100% next up as captain.
I like the idea of a hybrid top pairing RHD that looks like a Viking and can chirp teams like the best of them, being our captain.
Aegis_1984
This just in: Quitt Whos wasn’t a leader, and didn’t hold his teammates to account like a captain should. More at 6:00
Stevemal78
I think this speak very much about Quit Hughes’s leadership.

It means that, when players are half-assing it, their team-mates get angry at them – instead of doing nothing and waiting for the coaching staff to address it at some future date.

You know when kids have an argument on the playground? And they go running to the teacher to solve it… Instead of figuring it out on their own?

Hughes and Miller were a toxic combo from a leadership standpoint.
