“A lot of the series [are in] borderline chaos right now,’’ Sharks coach Todd McLellan said after his team’s morning skate.
And why is that?
“I don’t know, I don’t have an answer for it,” he said. “The other series, we’re all watching them because we’re hockey people and we get excited by the playoffs, but it’s amazing what’s going on right now. Maybe some of the messages will be delivered today [by the NHL] and everyone will reel it in a little bit. But high stakes, high emotions, competitive players, many that are crossing the line.’’
Hitchcock had a slightly different view.
“I don’t agree with that, I think organized chaos would be better (way to put it),’’ said the Blues coach. “I know it doesn’t look organized to you, but it is. This is why the players play.
