Rick Tocchet had a 5-and-a-half hour commute for Flyers games

Rick Tocchet has worked Flyers games for Comcast SportsNet for several years now. All that time, he was apparently commuting from Pittsburgh.

Rick Tocchet's deal with PGH is 3 yrs. Says he wont have to drive back to Mt. Lebanon after every Flyer telecast like he did past 4 yrs

Mount Lebanon is a suburb of Pittsburgh. It is 316 miles, or five and a half hours, from Wells Fargo Center.

Tocchet was hired by the Penguins today as an assistant coach. His car thanks him.
