Is it true that Hitchcock took Draisaitl off McDavid's wing?!? Really? Three games left, with Leon sitting on 47 goals, and they pull him off and put him with plugs?

No thanks to Hitch coming back as coach. No more dinosaurs behind the bench, please.


I'm pretty convinced that hitch is punishing Koskinen right now, setting him up for failure. No surprise he would punish drai and McDavid for looking a bit off too after the elimination. It's nice that he doesn't bash players much to the media but he is definitely an old school grump away from the microphones.


The scary thing with the Oilers is that they have already indicated that A) Hitch is supposed to stay with the team for the next two years after this and B) that he would like to be the head coach still.

His record is below .500, even with the big start the team gave him. The reliance on the top three went up, not down under Hitchcock. The defence has still looked porous, the PK still sucked. Better powerplay, but that's about it.

If I'm in charge, I'm thanking him for his service, giving him a watch and sending him back in to retirement, content to know that five years from now, McDavid will break up a play with a nice backcheck, and some colour guy on HNIC will give credit to Hitchcock for teaching those fundamentals over these last few months (whether he had anything to do with it or not).
