    That just looks weird.

    I'm not sure if this information has made it to Grand Forks yet, but this just came across my screen on the NHL Network...
  3. MafiaMan
    I saw that. Thanks for saving us all.

    The flip-side of your coin (for some)...

    Hak stopping in the hotel lobby while on the way to the X in 2010. Not only did he sign my son's jersey, he asked him a question or two about school and hockey, plus made sure the coaches and players had been nice to him while he was busy scrounging around for autographs. The entire team and coaching staff waited two minutes for Hak to finish up an 8:00 am Saturday morning conversation with an 8 year old kid. Thanks, Coach Hakstol, for your dedication to UND, both as a player and a coach. And thanks for making an impression on my boy. He hasn't forgotten that weekend - and likely never will.

    J,f,r...on a total side-note: nice to see you post again.

    No thanks. Berry could single-handedly rescue a busload of orphans from a fiery car accident after the game and some folks at GPL would STILL refer to him as the "classless" coach who flipped off a referee.

    Please tell us how he should have handled it. Meets with Flyers on Friday. Schedules team meeting with UND players on Sunday morning announcing possible departure. Flyers hire Mike Babcock on Monday morning. Schedules second meeting with UND players on Monday afternoon telling them "forget what I said yesterday, I'm in it for the long haul in Grand Forks." Recruits don't buy it and bolt because they fear he'll be gone next year anyways. Current players feel he's got one foot out the door already. What's the right way to handle this?

    Zane knew Boston's back-up goalie signed with the KHL, creating an opening in the system and an opportunity for him.
  10. MafiaMan
    Agree 100%. "We gotta keep the recruits" should NOT have been the primary reason to make a knee-jerk panic hire. Brad Berry may very well have been the best candidate for the job, but an interview/selection process would have shown that.

    For all the grumbling about the horrible job Hak (and his staff, by default, since they essentially work for him) has done in big games since he became coach, the best UND can do is to make the quickest decision possible and promote from within?
  12. MafiaMan
    Well that's a change...
  13. MafiaMan
    Your vs. You're or even You are. Your W-2 may look good, but your comprehension of basic English sucks. You're welcome.
  14. MafiaMan
    But Hak was the head coach so it was his fault!
  15. MafiaMan
    UND would be wise to open up a wide search - but they won't.
  16. MafiaMan
    OK, I've got one. Mike Guentzel. Offer him a contract, then sit back and enjoy the popcorn while reading GPL.
  17. MafiaMan
    While I realize that Dean Blais would have won eight or nine Stanley Cups had he been coach of the Flyers for the past ten years, Philly couldn't do much worse than Craig Berube.

    Hak has a team meeting and lets everyone know that he's looking at an NHL job, someone leaks that all over Twitter about 30 seconds later. Then he doesn't get an NHL offer and everyone's furious anyways because he even interviewed, which means he's only half-interested in staying in GF.
  19. MafiaMan
    No way. He'll need someone with some NHL experience with him on the bench.
  20. MafiaMan
    And now that he's gone, folks will STILL find something to b*tch about...Would Hak taking the job in Edmonton or Buffalo made you happier?
  21. MafiaMan
    Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
  22. MafiaMan
    Nate Leaman from Providence College? If you can't beat Hockey East, join 'em!
  23. MafiaMan
    Yes. The %gobc would implode if Gwoz came to GF and took over behind the Sioux bench.
  24. MafiaMan
    I can't wrap my head around a replacement yet - still stuck in "HOLY SH*T" mode!
  25. MafiaMan
    (Darth Vader voice) Impressive. Most impressive.
