College hockey is one and done, so that means the best team isn't always going to win. At least in the NHL the odds are more in favor of the higher seeded teams. Comparing college hockey coaches to NHL hockey coaches is like comparing apples to oranges, it just doesn't work. Any person with a brain would say that Hakstol was a successful college coach and any college hockey program would be delighted to pick him up as their own.

not much to challenge if he never had a losing season....

I have that video clip, andy pummeled that guy......

like when people have a Spirko jersey and wont release it from their collection.......

there was a bunch of them that were made up by a guy down in the MPLS area who tried to pass them off as game worn Sioux jerseys from the late 80's. needless to say he was busted things like that also make me cringe.....

what makes Tony Hrkac a great candidate?

HA HA HA

beer specials are every night at Judy's......

I really hate to say this because I love the Fighting Sioux nickname just as much as anyone else but its time the University picks a new nickname or just stay NORTH DAKOTA. I'm sick and tired of being a laughing stock in the news outlets over this.....

I'm not knocking toews for not bringing the cup to GF (he doesn't owe that to anyone). I am just merely pointing out the difference between players and their affection to UND and the community. Greene has a scholarship set up at UND, he comes back every year to play in Frank Whites golf tournament, he came back to GF during the lockout and went to Houghton, MI to watch the "boys" play. Mafiaman said he would be happy for the players that stick around for all four years and win an NCAA title, rather than cheer on a 2-3 year player that won a Stanley cup. I was just pointing out the differences in the last 2-3 players that won the Stanley cup and where there affection lies with the community and UND.

why would we have lost any scheduled games? you are really grasping for anything at this point. you and the rest of the "GOBC" had no idea Hak was leaving and now you are trying to save face.....

I don't believe that BF matched a guarantee salary of that nature, I could see that his bonus structure be higher, with winning a National Championship a bigger bonus payday.

I could see Hakstols NHL contract being on the smaller side of a base but higher on incentives (i.e. Wins, Making the Playoffs, Winning Playoff games/series, conference finals appearance, Stanley cup finals appearance, etc.....)

no i am just pointing out the difference between the two players. Greene comes back to grand forks without the stanley cup just to be around the program and the city. Toews on the other hand hasn't been back in grand forks since he dropped the puck the following year he left. edit: he brought it to Winnipeg both times but since he is a Captain he gets two days with it

no biggie. not that it matters but i wonder is how long of a head coach he was in the UHL? didn't their actual head coach pass away during the season and barry melrose take over? my memory is shot too

jackson was a assistant coach in the AHL and a head coach in the UHL for the adirondack frostbite...

im happy for certain 2-3 year players that win the Stanley cup. Toews has won the cup twice and has yet to make a pit stop on his way home to Winnipeg, let alone go back to grand forks. Matt Greene on the other hand has a deep affection for grand forks and UND and goes back even without the cup....

Tyler Palmiscino (however you spell his name)

he has been the student video coordinator for UND since that time...I know he recently just finished law school

I get what you are saying, I'm sure it did come down to money on the final try. Who really knows though....

I thought PP Lammy would be a huge stretch but like I said in another thread, its Brads ship..... Someone that comes to mind for me is Tyler Palmiscino......

Not sure what you mean by all of this but I'm just saying that his players might have had an idea that he was getting a few sniffs from an NHL club.....

He turned them down twice, I am sure the players knew something was going on....

Hak's style of coaching resembled more of an NHL style game....

He goes back to GF every summer, so there is nothing "behind the scenes" going on. I wouldn't be surprised if you see him as a coach one day though....
