Afternoon Line- Ken Hitchcock

Why were the Blues so successful on face-offs Saturday against Columbus? You'll remember they won 37 of 53 (69.8%) of the draws.

Well, Hitch knows why: "The other team was cheating, and we got the linesman to square them up and they didn't win any draws because of it.

Hitch: "They were turning and cheating and we dinged them on it. They had to go about it with fair play and they couldn't beat us."

Hitch: "They had a couple of guys who got us in Columbus. We asked for help on it and we didn't get it, and we got it the last game."

-Ken Hitchcock, head coach of the St. Louis Blues via Jeremy Rutherford tweets.
