Not even close to being true. This Blues team has bought into his system....and it's a good one. This team, minus one of the worst "games missed because of injury" in the league, would easily be running away with the presidents trophy. Despite the injuries, I think they'll end up ahead of the Stars and as conference champions. You don't do that with a coach who doesn't know the game.

I don't like the way he handles the goalies, but Elliott's play has pretty much taken that card away from him.

The Stanley Cup is very hard to win (possibly the most grueling in all of sports)....without question, this team has the tools to make a run.

Whats not true? Yep he is a great regular season coach - if that's what you want. I thought we were talking Stanley Cup? Take away two seasons in Dallas 17 & 18 years ago and his teams playoff records sucks. In the last 5 playoff seasons his teams playoff record is 10 and 21 including a season that they had the most points in the NHL. He has had different players, different goalies, etc. and the results have been the same.
I really hope this is the year they at least get to Lord Stanley's Cup - but I am not getting my hopes up.

Dude - google how many coaches there have been in the NHL.....then google how many of them have ever won a Stanley Cup. Hitchcock's stellar resume doesn't need any endorsement from some hack fans, he's earned it.

Like I said, this is the hardest trophy to win in all of sports. I'd like to see it here, but if the Blues get through a couple of rounds I'll enjoy the extra games and call the season a success.
