You're reaching and reading too much into comments made by people. Some people on here have been hating on Hakstol since Blais left. There have been a number of posters that reference situations where "Blais teams wouldn't...", and those situations have been proven to happen to Blais as well, even to teams he coached at UND. This in no way is throwing Blais under the bus. It is showing that even legendary coaches are human.
