Is this Hitch being positive?
“Somebody is going to get seventh and eighth (place) and both teams that are in seven and eight right now are going backwards,” Hitchcock told the Edmonton Sun, pointing to the Dallas Stars and Wild. “Two teams are going to pick up here, which are the two teams?
“We know we have to go on an a run. Of all the teams around there I feel like our team is playing the best. We’re not winning, but we’re playing the best. Eventually, it’s going to have to translate into wins. You can’t keep living off of, ‘We’re playing well.’ You have to take the next step, but five of the last six games are the best we’ve played in a long time.”
Oilers are 1-6-3 in their last 10, have the worst record in the league for the last 10, Hawks are 8-2-0 and Dallas is 5-4-1, but the Oiler's are "playing the best". Sounds like someone bought in.
