true, but that's a big if. Pitkonen HAS shown flashes of brilliance, he definely has the raw talent - but his head worries me. Also, given the past 3 or so years of Oiler history - they are the last team that should think they can treat a head case...fair or not for me to say, it seems that MacTavish has created far more head cases (3 goalies, Lupul, Sykora etc.) than he has corrected (zero). Before you jump on me - I know it's not just MacTavish, but he's the coach he gets the 'credit'.
