  1. I love you on this board my man- upper six means pushing 7 though...nobody's pulling that out of the fields without equity-

     

    I'm guessing you mean pushing $200k

    Knowing gf, he's probably counting the two digits to the right of the decimal point.

  2. People here get there panties in a bunch for critizing a coach who's been paid millions.

    Nobody says hey stop critizing Luke or schmaltz he's a college kid only getting a free schooling.

    There's another fiction. Nobody is saying Hak's coaching should not be criticized. But those who just keep coming with this simplistic, brain-dead "we want a banner" are not criticizing--they're just pouting.

  3. Hak makes the $$$ he does to raise natty banners

    To win regular season games

    All the playas and coachas talk about is winning nattys

    Those matter

    That's the goal

    If a regular guy doesnt achieve goals in his job year after year he's gone

    Well, guys like you obviously set easily obtained goals, so you will achieve them whether you learn to write or not.

  4. Nobody is saying he will get fired.  And nobody wants him to be fired.  What I and others won't subscribe to is the notion that #nattysdontmatter.

    You are talking a fiction. Nobody has said NCs don't matter. I would guess that all of us are eager for #8, for the players mostly. They are ones who are playing the game. It's just that some fans use a single banner as the only measure of success, even if they have nothing to say about the coaching itself.

  5. We've went through this. Ya some take awhile. Some win soon..and some never win...both coaches before Hakstol already had at least 2 by now.

    Is hakstol red Berenson or woog?

    We've GONE through this. Good thing you don't hold yourself to the same standards you hold hockey coaches to.

  6. I think the boys were stressed out and holding their sticks too tight.  Winning means "playing" and playing means that you are having fun.  Fast and loose is how hockey needs to be played...not worrying about making mistakes...and obsessing over details.

     

    I hate the approach of winning that is based on "making fewer mistakes than your opponent."  How about "making more awesome plays than your opponent."

     

    I think this might be exactly why we win a ton of games, but not the big one under Hak...the recipe of detail and not making mistakes vs flow and making plays.

     

    Top Gun analogy:  Hak is Iceman and trains the team to be like Iceman...Dean Blais is Maverick (ironic given the mascot in Omaha)

     

    Disclaimer:  I am in no way calling for Hak's head or a coaching change with this statement

    I think there is truth to what you say, Yzerman.

  7. i just don't see "hanging #8" til we get a coach that has an ability to change, adapt, or grow as a coach

    Just be glad we don't have Blais running the show--his team collapsed down the stretch and couldn't even get his boys into the dance in Mpls. Sandelin was no better.

    We could go after Eaves. He's won a banner, so he's the kind of coach we need.

  8. We are not world beaters this year- I've watched the Sioux religiously for 35 years- I never had Natty expectations for this team.  Could they get hot and win it all?  sure, but c'mon we just don't have the horses in this year's stable.

     

    Point being, I'm enjoying the ride and not jumping off a cliff when we get beaten by a solid SCSU team in Mpls.  Johnny Brodzinski is offensively more gifted than anyone on this year's UND squad.
