I have my own complaints about Hitchcock but this deal where the monkeys get to run the zoo is not viable.

The "core", or some semblance of that group, ran Murray and Payne out of here with their whining. My guess is Oshie just found out Hitch is fully aware of how to counter play that game too.

The team is supposedly built by Hitchcock and his GOOD FRIEND Doug Armstrong to run this puck possession system. It's physically demanding and it has to be "on" 100% of the time to get the right result against bigger teams and more skilled teams.

You gotta be something in this league to win. This is what we are. I haven't a frigging clue what "information overload" means but Oshie & Co want to know what a round 2 looks like they need to drop it and go play the team game this system demands.
