Great to see Hitch get back into coaching so soon. His 1st game back will be against the Flyers on Friday afternoon.

I am really suprised he took this job, and the first job that came his way.
I expected him to wait and see what became avaliable in the offseason.
Columbus is not a team on the way to being a playoff team imo, so this will be an odd fit imo. It'll be interesting to see if Hitch can turn Ricky Nash into a two-way player.....I doubt it.

Nash will always be a goal scorer, and will never be known for his defense.

Columbus was actually 1 team that was worse than the Flyers.
