2 Minute Minor
Hi Keeba!
I'm a bit worried this "we need 70 hits" (close to impossible) strategy Hitch is employing destroys our offense. Seems like it plays into the Blackhawks hands. I've seen this movie before. What do you folks make of this?
If we have 70 hits on Friday, that means we haven't had the puck all game. I hope this is just Hitch misdirection??? (I don't think so given game 1). Someone tell me I should not be worried and we need to focus on being this physical to win. Please.
(and I get not wanting to give the Hawks space and to be physical, but the focus on it is throwing me off).
Hitchcock was just trolling Chicago with that statement. Its just little mind games.
As much as the Blackhawks have been able to win against physical teams on their past runs, its not a magic formula if they can't get they're little counterattack rushes ever going. The Blues are giving them almost nothing.
I don't understand the recent threads on here dissecting phrases Hitchcock says. He's not divulging his strategy in the press conferences. He's just messing around and planting quotes for yucks.
