Ken Hitchcock seemingly took the St. Louis Blues from a bottom feeder to a perennial contender. Although I personally believe that Hitch is the best man for the job in St. Louis, many fans believe that his coaching style and insistence on defense focused play is keeping the Blues from being a true Stanley Cup contender.

So while we could list the ways in which Hitch has helped the team and the ways in which Hitch could improve, we thought it simpler to make the discussion our daily poll.

You tell us, is Ken Hitchcock the problem with the Blues or not.

LET’S GO BLUES!
