yeah, but not sure how that's all on Hitch?
its like watching SJ when LA came back on them; the players couldn't put together three passes, lost all their structure and could not match Chicago's intensity...but SJ were able to compose themselves and came back...
Someone, anyone on St.L needed to step up. A line needed to dominate their shift. No one did. Tarasenko, for example, needed to put his words where his mouth was by putting out a dominant shift, a game changing play.... They needed someone to pull the "iggy shift" in TB. But no one did.
That's on the players as much as Hitchcock.
