I've said this before. Hitch is an excellent coach, and has the track record of turning teams around quickly and efficiently. When he was hired, he said he knew what the problem was and that he would fix it. Was going to turn Puljujarvi into a serviceable player. But it is becoming abundantly clear that he had no idea how bad this organization is. Best player in the world, and another top 10 player to go with him, and you are forced to play a defensive kitty bar the door game and try to win 2-1 in a league where the good teams seem to score at will. Lose a top dman and your whole team is screwed. Lose a #4/#5 man, and the whole world seems to end. The poor man is clearly over his head, and I do not mean that in a derogatory way in any sense. It's like going into a house of horrors in the dark and someone turns the lights on, and you go, holy shit, this is way crazier than I thought. Of course, he will never admit that publicly or through the media. He keeps pumping out the quotes everyone knows and loves. But eventually, he will crack, just like all the others before him and throw up his hands. It's already started, with him begging Chia through the media, to get some help. And now, he's going to jump all over the players, and they in turn, are giving up and looking the other way. I sincerely hope for his sake, that this will not be Ken Hitchcock's Edmonton Oilers coaching legacy - to take over a struggling team, and have them turn out worse and finally crash and burn.
