TheRussianRocket. Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 @thekapman: Hearing the @NHLBLUES will fire Ken Hitchcock this week. Former San Jose coach Todd McLellan will be high on their short list. @adater: If Blues lose today, Ken Hitchcock's playoff record in last 37 games would be 12-25, one playoff round win since 2003-04 Time for both sides to part ways. Ken hasn't done squat with his great teams in the playoffs. When I think Blues I think chokers for this reason. Good coach but not in the postseason.

Mathew Barzal Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Oh man. Easier to fire the coach instead of actually addressing the heart of the problem. So many good coaches being relieved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Good. Blues and Ken Hitchcock both need new fresh starts heading into next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRussianRocket. Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Oh man. Easier to fire the coach instead of actually addressing the heart of the problem. So many good coaches being relieved... Agree with the latter but not the rest. He has arguably one of the deepest offenses and defenses in the league and a solid goaltending duo. Nothing more he could've asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueberries Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Yah McLellan will totally lead you to the Cup like he did in SJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 It sounds like after last season there was a lot of bitterness towards Hitchcock by the Blues players, atleast I remember a lot made of this on team 1040 last offseason. He is a great coach, had a deep roster in all positions. Tough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Yah McLellan will totally lead you to the Cup like he did in SJ. As a fresh voice in the room..yes..I think McClellan could lead the Blues to the SC...same thing could have been said about AV,who lead the Rangers to the final last year,and probably again this year.

Wilbur Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Agree with the latter but not the rest. He has arguably one of the deepest offenses and defenses in the league and a solid goaltending duo. Nothing more he could've asked for. Agree with the first two but not the last. Their goaltending is not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanTSN Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Their leadership group just not skilled enough. Oshie is more of a supplementary piece. As well as Backes, Steen, Stastny, etc. They have one sniper, Tarasenko, and he's RFA. Something has to give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Ken is a terrific transition coach, and now a team like Edmonton or Toronto should bring him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So very true... Feel the worst for Ted Nolan but Hitch is a beauty. Edmonton should do all they can to get ahold of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 We should give Tarasenko a nice little offer sheet If STL declines to match we lose four 1st round picks. Not exactly the smartest thing for an aging team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
