Ken hitchcock former philadelphia flyers head coach who was fired about a month ago by the team after a loss to the buffalo sabres 7-0, was re-hired by the columbus blue jackets. dan snider, the president of the philadelphia flyers commented on the firing of hitchcock saying the 7-0 loss to buffalo was his last straw before he had to make changes. the flyers hired hitchcock as a scout though. the struggling columbus blue jackets also fired their head coach and on sunday the 19th of november the blue jackets interviewed hithcock and only 2 days or so later announced him as their new head coach. it was said that the reason hitchcock was blamed for the poor performances by the flyers was because of how much he yelled at his players and devellopped a very negative atmosphere.
I kind of think hitchcock is a nice guy so i'm happy he got a new job. i jsut hope he choses a different coaching stragedy with his new team, because in sports and in life, when you yell at someone it will not get you anywhere positive and in turn probably make things worse. peter forsberg is the captain of hitchcocks old team the philadelphia flyers, and he is the best hockey player in the world. i hope hithcock well with his new team.
