Oilers forwards are going to need to be strong on the defensive side of the puck tonight. And if the Oilers want a chance to win tonight I predicted a boring low scoring game Hitch style.

I've had the privilege of playing in a few charity tournaments with Hullie (Brett Hull) over the years. We've always picked him first in the draft for our team along with a few others. He does a great, whiney impression of Hitchcock. Then again, Hull was never known for toeing the line with coaches. Heck of a funny guy with a lot of stories though. He does admit Hitch was a great coach though.
