SAN JOSE, Calif. — Some coaches might have been stubborn and refused to make any serious changes, especially to a team in a conference final and only down one game in a series that was still early. Not Ken Hitchcock.
The coach of the St. Louis Blues is not afraid to change with the times. One of the first things he did when assuming control of the Blues in 2011 was reassess his relationship strategies with younger players. He didn't think he knew enough of their world anymore, so he became a regular watcher of the Palladia Channel (now known as MTV Live) to better understand the millennial mindset.
