should be interesting to see what happens.
Hitchcock is well known as a coach that eventually wears out his welcome because he continuously grinds down his players... maybe he's mellowed with age, but that was his coaching MO for a long time...
the Oilers and their lack of maturity seems completely antithetical to that 'buy in' mindset especially when the team is playing poorly... EDM got whipped last night, even if the scoreboard didn't show it... and EDM started to play without structure and pond hockey and tried to go at TB with punchers mentality.
Problem is, with the exception of McDavid, they have no punch
I could easily see Edmonton players' hubris taking hold of them and they play undisciplined hockey... Koskinen has been stellar for them, otherwise they'd be in the lottery already... AGAIN.
