Take your meds.

One game at a time. Honestly, who thinks we have a shot at beating the Goofs next Thursday?

Respectfully, this was on odd time to write such an article. I have seen some fans slightly discouraged with the coach for not winning a natty yet but how many posters have actually stated they want the man fired....I believe it's only been one troll. As a fan, I would like to read positive articles about the upcoming games and how we stack up against our opponents. Not the "I told you so" mentality that goes on back and forth on this site for 12 months of the year.

I thought this was kind of humorous. http://www.miamistudent.net/sports/miami-hockey-oxford-reduce-to-rubble-1.3155956#.Uzyf59zoZhA

I figured Czarnik would as he's small. Coleman is only 5'10'' so he isn't tiny (200 lbs) but definitely not huge. Besides last season he hasn't had great college seasons. Barber should be gone, if not that sucks for the Sioux.

I have a little "in" with the HBC....Johnny's already got it no matter what. I do like Carey though....man could that guy shoot the puck.

Good point.

I'm shocked that Schmaltz wasn't selected to the U18's.....I know much of the team is filled with NTDP players but typically they pull in 2-3 other top players from the USHL. I wonder what the story is there.

Living in the Twin Cities.....anyone but the Goofs!

I may have said so before but now that I think of it I don't think they are overachieving....they have a very solid team on paper, a little young, but very solid. I think they had several mental lapses during the season which reflected in their pairwise ranking, however their record was decent. They are where they are for a reason. I try not to look at things in the short term (as it relates to the coach), you give a guy a certain time range to get things done and you go from there. Given the fact Hak has continued to throw out competitive teams you have to extend the leash a tad. I sure hope he gets it done though, it's been awhile.

I played organized hockey through high school and continue to play mens hockey against/with former college and pro players....I also have kids. Although I differ on how I communicate my concerns I do share some of your concerns with this program/coach. The bittersweet fact is that although it appears our program has (very) slowly started to go in the wrong direction, this coach is in the position to pull off what we had expected to happen at least once over the past decade. As of now, I'm on his side.

Funny....that's definitely him.

I do agree that at some point the AD has to look at a coach's body of work and figure out if he's on the right path, as far as building a program to win a national champsionship. However, as I've stated many times, you can't get rid of the guy yet as his resume as been too good up until this point. Give the guy 3-5 more years....if he can't get it done in a 15 year tenure I'm guessing Hak himself may look at different options. Also, this is not the best time to even be talking about this as we are in the F4 about to play one of the biggest games this college has had in a pretty long time, against not only the #1 team in the country but a team we all despise greatly. Maybe it's time to cool it for a while until the summer.

I'm not going to lie...I was faked out until I read the comments.

Just took a peek at GPL for the first time ever. OMG! Makes a guy want to create an account just to start snap'n on them Goofs!

...or they had a spring break vacation planned I was there though and I live in the TC. It was pretty dead that weekend though our box was empty too. Spring Break had a ton to do with it.

With this year's team I am just happy we made it. You are correct though that at some point you have to look at a coach's body of work and what is the ultimate goal. Hak does field good teams though year in and year out....that product fills the Ralph and makes the school money. I had the time today to watch BC for the first time this year...man they are good. I was writing before that they reminded me of some of our old teams. We'll need a little puck luck in Philly however if our underclassman stay next year they should be very good. Hopefully we'll win out on more of those top recruits BC and MN seem to be getting lately.

14 draft picks...Tambo left.

Orpik hurt Toews...looks like it may be a serious shoulder injury.

I think we need to run into the Goof team that lost to OSU. They are absolutely dominating SCSU.

Haha, I would love to see that. This year's BC team looks so good....like the teams we used to have in the Blais and early Hak years. They are so opportunistic.

Considering the guy only thinks about himself, I'm guessing he could care less

Speaking to your first paragraph only, that's because und looked tired and slow for a majority of that game. Not saying ferris isn't a good hockey team because they are, however, we played very bad.

Completely agree.

Exactly. If we played like we did last night against a BC it could have been ugly. Last night was the first time I have watched BC play all year....one word, wow!
