from Bob Hunter of the Columbus Dispatch,
Isn’t this playoff-race stuff great?
“This stuff really affects your sleep pattern,” Hitchcock said. “Because you’re sitting there watching games until midnight and you’re mad that a couple of games are in shootouts, or you want to choke a couple of guys with Colorado because they let a goal in with 1:46 left. You want to phone somebody you know there to blast them for allowing the goal.”
Hitchcock doesn’t stay up until every game is finished, but after he finally hits the sack, it’s the first thing on his mind when he wakes up.
“First thing I do is the Blackberry, 5:30 in the morning, scores,” he said. “You’re brushing your teeth and it’s (bleep!). Those three-point games, (darn) it. First place I go is on that TSN Web site and there’s that (darned) 2-1 score in Edmonton in a shootout, and you’re just cussing both teams. Every night you last as long as you can and then you’re up four or five hours later, watching again.”
