Rick Tocchet’s arrival had the feel of the local hero returning home. But the Flyers new coach isn’t leaning on that. "I know I'm back, but it's not about Rick Tocchet. It's about the crest. I'm a crest guy. How do we build the shield?" www.nhl.com/news/rick-to...

It's already known that Rick Tocchet and Keith Jones have a tight bond.
Danny Briere didn't know him nearly as well. So, "we went through the whole gamut with him, just like we did with everybody else."
