Blue Jackets' Ken Hitchcock says Red Wings cheat on faceoffs, so his team will do likewise

Update from Blue Jackets practice: Coach Ken Hitchcock wasn't happy with his team's performance in the faceoff circle Thursday, especially the second half of the game. He thinks he knows why the Wings dominated in that area.
"I was thinking about this this morning after watching the tape. I don't think Detroit would do anything in drag racing, because they would never pass the Christmas Tree test. The would be red-lighted (for a false start) every time because their wingers cheat,'' Hitchcock said. "So we're going to cheat just like they are. The power-play goal they scored, their winger went in on the move, good for him. We're going to do the same thing. It'll be interesting to see who gets kicked out first.''
Hitchcock said he'll make some lineup changes for Game 2 but wouldn't elaborate.
LMAO
