Funny thing about Hitchcock and coaching a for a long time... #3 most wins as an NHL Coach #11 MOST LOSSES.
It should be fun to watch him climb the ladder.
21 losses to catch Dick Irvin, 22 to catch Pat Quinn, 25 to catch Mike Keenan, & 26 to catch Joel Quenneville. But don’t put the 48 losses to catch Lindy Ruff out of reach for the suckiest suckers who ever sucked.
He should easily be 7th by the end of the year, maybe even the 6th.
