Also heard this yesterday.

I gotta think they probably called Hak first...but all the comments on this board make it sound like Hak is likely heading back to the NHL next year. So who's next in line?

So current state of the program is weighing heavily on many. When Blais and Hak left NCAA tourney wins were plentiful. Felt like a seamless transition. Unfortunately Brad has struggled in the big dance and this transition seems a little shakier. Hopefully whoever comes in can get off to a positive start, especially with the guys already in the locker room.

If it falls under "too many injuries" then it's the team trainer's fault, right?

More of the "let's stay with someone close to the program" and "it needs to be someone from within the UND family" rhetoric. Not that it's a bad thing but why not at least open yourself up to some different options? UND just finished 10 years of Berry which by many measurements was very successful. Lack of playoff success was what got him in the end so why would you automatically take the guy who's been right there with him the whole time? At least take a look around before you hire the next Sioux guy.

Seems like a no-brainer...let's go!

That happen in the NCHC final?

So 76% is not stellar?

Now that I think about this a little, I really hope they get somebody from the outside. Need to shake it up with some new perspective and ideas; not the same old stuff we've been doing.

That could NEVER happen at UND.

A conference team not named Denver? Ok then.

It wasn't a good look for him...now that he's with Minny I can dislike him even more.

That MafiaMan...he's incorrigible!

At least he wouldn't have to worry about playing in the GLI.

Sink those m'effers!

You guys got some work to do starting with the Purple Cows...then, if you happen to run into the Gofers...

You work for the state of Minnesota?

Ok...thought maybe it was something related to the new coaching hire.

Well it is State's home ice. Why you posting this here?

I guess I should have said Head Coach...anyway, Hakstol had his turn so I figured it wouldn't be something he would be interested in. Who the hell knows?

No way Calipari coached in the NHL.

If guys sign their pro deal, good for them...guys start getting poached by the BC/BU/DU/Michigan's is really going to sting.
