So they're bringing in a old school coach from the obstruction era basically.
Lets see what does he have to work with
Outside of a few a really slow group of players
Not a lot of skill up front outside of three players
Up front the defensive awareness of a block of frozen poop.
Blueline
Not a lot of skill on the blueline
No real PP QB
A group of 3 to 6 defensemen at best
Can't pass
Goaltending
A starter who's struggling
A back up who's honestly doing well
What Edmonton fans can expect
Hitch - "Boy's we're going to play my favorite system, its called the Left Wing Lock. Everyone including you McDougle is going to come back and play positional defense"
McDavid - "Its McDavid coach"
Hitch - "Are you sassing me son?"
McDavid - "No coach"
Hitch - "Defensemen, when you get the puck in our end you're going to put the puck off the glass and out, then we're going to plug the neutral zone. 1 forechecker in only."
McDavid - "I'm a scorer sir."
Hitch - "No conswarnit, you're an oiler, and as such a cog in the machine and a valuable back checker"
McDavid - "Oh man this guy is totally getting fired"
