from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,
“Nobody saw this drop-off. We started (this season) 12-6-3,” said GM Scott Howson. “Now, seven weeks later we’ve dropped almost out of sight. Everyone is just sort of bewildered by it. Including the players.”
Don’t forget the head coach.
On Wednesday, in the midst of the most perplexing and disappointing seasons in the career of a lifetime hockey man, Hitchcock stood inside Rexall Place pondering his predicament. In the city where it all began for him, a few words from an old coach came to mind.
“He said, ‘Did you sign up to win? Or did you sign up to coach? Because you can’t do both,’” Hitchcock said with a smile. “‘If you signed up to win, and that’s all you signed up for when you got in this business, then you might as well get lost. It ain’t going to work.’”
And so Hitchcock, and the Blue Jackets, are losers once again.
