Jesus, thanks Captain Obvious. You mean you weren't doing that before?
How about evaluating the players that are already in the fold.
Oh I think that evaluation is already complete. My God I hope he's not referring to Stastny, because those are his fingerprints all over that contract.

Just an all around weak statement if you ask me.

Bort didn't play because it's too difficult to jump back in after injury? Didn't Steen and Tarasenko jump back in after injury? Friggin' hell Hitch.
They could have thrown out a cow carcass and it would have had a better series than Gunnarsson.

Yeah, it wasn't that Bort was still hurt, it was that Hitch didn't feel comfortable throwing him back into the line-up after being hurt.

Bort wasn't going to be the difference in this series as he wasn't going to score the goals the rest of the team wasn't. However, the stupidity of that statement alone is why I have no interest in seeing Hitch here again.

Right, until they get a call from Elliott's agent. I can't imagine for the life of me why he would want to be here.
The only thing I can come up with is that this team with Hitch's system resurrected his career. You're right though, he has not been given a fair shake in the playoffs.
