Just a few weeks after the Flyers fired Ken Hitchcock, the Blue Jackets signed him.
The Blue Jackets now have their 5th head coach in their existence. Ken Hitchcock
was fired on October 22nd and hired on November 22nd. The Blue Jackets were
struggling and had no head coach, since they fired former Detroit Red Wing Gerard
Gallant on November 14th. The Blue Jackets have the worst record in the NHL,
which stands at 5-13-2. The Blue Jackets have a bunch of talent, with stars
like Sergei Fedorov and Rick Nash, but they average just over two goals a game,
with just 43 in 20 games. Ken Hitchcock know how to win games and he has taken
the Stars to the Stanley Cup finals twice, winning one, and he took the Flyers
to the playoffs every year he coached there. The Blue Jackets have never made
the playoffs in their six year existence. |
