Thought exercise in how to shit on a team without saying anything overtly bad about them.

1) no one can argue with the results of the hitchcok reign. so i won’t. but seriously, and i do mean seriously (and no i am not bitching, i am merely speculating) isnt the ONLY thing (other than an excessively home-slanted slate of games) the Hitch has that the Payne did not is a functioning goalie every night? the power play is not fixed. the penalty kill improvement is goalie related to a large extent, the scoring is only slightly improved (could be due to a home record or more stable netminding- not coaching). Payne’s blues were a top 5 on 5 team. Cock’s blues are a top 5 on 5 team with good goal tending. isnt that true and signficant difference between battlng for 9th place and battling for first?
