I think Hitch has done a lot and I'm not quite saying I agree with him on everything, but if we make it deep into the playoffs, I say we stick with Hitch. If we have yet another first round exit, then I'll ready the torches and grab the pitchforks.

I'm not the biggest Hitch fan, but I'm not quite sure there's anyone better available.


i just dont believe his system, and i dont think the players do either.

if you have a team full of players who dont fully believe in the system, then either the coach or the players have to go. its much easier to get a new system than 20 new players.


i think hes similar to tortorella. he can make an average team play above average, but he cant make an above average team play great. an up and coming team with some young skill but mostly gritty players fit his style most, and were past that.

I can agree. I think he needs to loosen the system to deal with the young talented kids. Give em a general passing scheme with rough locations and let them be creative.

We have some seriously talented guys that are getting throttled by this "shoot everything, check everyone, don't make the extra pass" system.

Andy Macdonald has been very vocal against Hitchcock's system on twitter and how it doesn't let the players do what they became professionals to do.

Idk, I just want to see us win a cup before this talent starts to question that possibility.

blues actually played their best game in the last 2 weeks even though they lost.

generated twice as many shots on goal as weve been used to seeing and getting a decent amount of scoring opportunities.


still a ridiculous amount of turnovers and scoring chances against.

Didn't even get to watch much of the game, I was fucked up at Ameristar last night.

Gonna be at the game tomorrow, hopefully it's a good game and the Seguin/Benn combo don't score 7.

First of all, Ameristar sucks.

Holywood's my home casino, but I'd be down to hit River City or Lumiere some time.

Hollywood is badass but their poker room sucks, and since that's what I generally play I go to river city.

Lumiere is cool though.

If you're referring to the Texas Holdem room, that place is my shit. I win more often than not when playing holdem at Holywood.

I've never been to Lumiere or River City.

Fuck Casino Queen though.

Ameristar and river city have the 2 most active poker rooms, but ameristars casino is just boring to me.
