from Tom Reed of the Columbus Dispatch,
On a club developing chemistry in adverse times, the tightest bond might be the one between coach and general manager.
Hitchcock and Howson don’t always agree, but they share a similar vision for the franchise, one coming into focus during an 8-3 run that has the Jackets in the thick of the playoff race.
“You never know how it’s going to work when you bring people together. There is always a risk,” said Howson, in his second season as Jackets general manager.
“I think we respect each other’s positions. He cares about winning the next game, and my focus is more long term. But he respects the intricacies of the position. He understands you can’t just wave a magic wand.”
