seemed like a bad idea at the time... not sure if this has anything to do with it, but i am sure it probably turned some players against Hitchcock

Yup - said at the time that it was a move that could (and likely would) worsen things in the room (was going to say 'destroy', but they were already bad).
Since then, the Oilers have not only been abysmal, but their give-a-crap meter has been setting new lows.
Hitchcock may not have created the two-tiered bench, but he perpetuated it. And now he has lost the room.
