Griff,
Obviously I am not the savant you are in regards to hockey but yes I do pay attention.

I'm sorry but I thought we were talking about winning in the playoffs. You know the thing the Blues haven't been able to do for so long? My bad! You're right. Hitchcock has been behind the bench for a lot of regular season wins. His winning % during the regular season is around .600 which is pretty impressive.
But his winning % in the playoffs is closer to .520. That's a pretty big difference in my opinion. And if you take away the TWO seasons in Dallas where they won the Cup one year and the conference the other in back to back years and where he went 30 - 16 in the playoffs - well then his playoff record is 44 - 52 or .458.

Silly me! I was thinking Blues fans were looking for some playoff success. But if you really want a team that does really well in the regular season and fizzles in the playoffs it does appear he's your man!
