my bracket when the playoffs started was Lightning over Hawks for The Cup, so I can't change course now! Go Bolts!
-
According to the Herald Hak owes UND $100,000 for leaving early for NHL job - wouldn't it be nice if that money found it's way to football, basketball or upgrades to The Betty.
Yeah, right... Guessing this will just pay another nickname consultant.

Well they have me excited so much so that I just got 4 tics for the June 19th game against the Cubs. No lose game for me since the Cubs are my second team.
I'll be there the 19th, and the 20th, as well. Really looking forward to these games. Some friends and I take in a series every year, and this year it's the Cubbies. Expecting a lot of their fans to show up, so downtown should be lively -

No, but I'm not gonna lie, I'll be cheering for them more now.Soooo...now that the dust has settled. Have any UND fans now adopted the Flyers as their new favorite NHL team?
-
I like it; however, to ward off the foreseeable onslaught of folks who will vote not in UND's best interests (i.e. vote for the worst of the list), I hereby offer the notion of weighted voting.
The weighting? Number of posts here.
Scary prospect - JohnboyND7 has 2,787 posts, and counting. That would give Johnboy nearly 9 times the clout of ibleedgreen, even though ibleedgreen seems to want UND to succeed a lot more than Johnboy...

Well, in the summertime it is actually the 3rd Wednesday of Months that have 5 Mondays but only 4 Tuesdays.
So, August 19th. Got it. Making arrangements to stake out truck stops now.

Good luck to Hakstol and good luck dealing with the Philadelphia sports media. They are a bunch of blood thirsty sharks from what I have heard.
I had to laugh at the interview with Vande Velde - Chris said that Phili has lots of other sports to distract the media, and it's actually worse in GF where it's hockey, hockey, hockey all the time.
-
You mean good thing they dropped that when we aren't on the field....oh wait.
I still count a recent post championship (1a) press conference as one of my favorite moments - even then, even in victory, the SU player threw out a "Sioux Suck" to really get the crowd excited. That was all I needed to know about that player/team/fan base.

Has anyone been reading the comments at the bottom of the article on nhl.com? There are several, "who???" type comments but of those, there are several Flyers fans who like the idea of bringing in someone new and who doesn't really have any former ties to Flyer hockey.
In talking with a friend of mine who's a huge Flyers fan, he's very excited about this coaching decision.
Saw a reporter (Phili Inquirer) whose entire article was just repeating "Culture change" over and over. At the end, he added "And one more thing; Culture Change".
-
You missed my point: The Flyers came at Hak twice...No and no. Third time...yes. Why yes on try #3?
Wondering that myself...
Could be anything - maybe his wife didn't want to go at first? Maybe the $$ went up? Maybe he got some behind-the-scenes power that wasn't originally promised? We'll probably never know.
-
Berry said Hak turned down the job twice. Dude didn’t want to leave. God da*n it I wanted that guy to win one.

Sounds like Philly fans are thrilled about the new Flyers head coach.
TBH, usually a happy Flyer fan is one who just watched someone get a tooth knocked out...
Unless you weren't being sarcastic, in which case ignore the last sentence and replace it with "Good"

The timeout at the final 5 against Minnesota, making the NCAA tourney every year, the way he, his staff, and players would always take the time and make the extra effort to reach out to fans.
I'll just quote you, as you summed it up pretty well.
Wife and I would always go visit with him at Force games when he was scouting - only Blais was as approachable as a scout from the colleges, but Blais has his number retired there, so that's another topic. Also, at fan fest last fall, when getting a poster autographed, my wife asked Hak to sign it as well. When Hak joked about why, I told him it was because when they won the title that year, we wanted the coach on there as well. He just smiled and said, "We'll see what we can do". No title, but still one heckuva ride!
-
Sooo when Berry wins a Championship this year, are we still going to have to hear all the Hak haters when it is all done?
Of course - then it'll be "He should have won one a long time ago! We should have fired him in 2006!"

I just saw this on FB and had to jump here to see if anyone was confirming it.
I am very sad to see him go.

No?
It's like you're in Oxbow's head. I mean, seriously, are you the same person?

Interesting....is Fargo that big of a mess? The BCHL is a good league but definitely not as deep as the USHL. With a new coach coming to Fargo I would have thought they may stick around.
I think that's the problem - new coach coming. But who and when? I like to think I have good sources on this, but we're all hanging in the wind right now. The Eades stuff could well be true, as they're still playing (up 2-0 with game 3 Friday in a best of 5), or else maybe that was the plan until Sioux Falls got this far, and now The Force are screwed? I was hoping to see Hrkac here, since he was an assistant in Madison last season, and might want to move up.

The discussion has already begun in the early departure thread, so let's just have on dedicated to it. Who you got?
Mine are:
C Drake
A Bryn
A Stecher
A St. Claire
Reasons: Drake is the fire on that team. Bryn is the emotion guy. Stecher is the calming guy. Colton actually has an extra year with the team, and has deep roots into the group. No Schmaltz because I think he's gone.

Love that Oxbow's Zane fathead made their article picture

Unless they are having you as an individual take a proctored exam I'm going to be skeptical. Way too easy to cheat otherwise.
So then it would up to the quality of the person, as to whether or not they got their education.

I do find it interesting that the CEO took some of it on himself, at least the entitlement parenting he believes is the issue.
I ran the numbers in the story. With quarterly profit sharing you're over $14. If you have a referral that puts it over $15. And that assumes no OT at any point.
I've never met the guy in the article, so I can't comment on him.
$15 an hour, for someone with no advanced schooling, is a pretty good wage in the Fargo area. I don't work for Trail King, but see a lot of applications of their former workers. What you may not fully understand if you're not in this particular job market, is that we are now reduced to hiring the unemployable. The stories I could tell you about cheating on drug tests (if they even show up for them), the no-call, no-shows, the people who can't stay off their cell phones and wander off every couple of minutes from their stations... I could go on for hours. I was interviewing 5 people for an opening last week, and 2 didn't even bother to show up to the interview. Background checks now include "Was it one of the bad felonies?" as a conversation point within the company.
The manufacturing industry is ugly for hiring right now.

1. Yes, because I'm a sucker for all Sioux historical items.

3. $50? I think that's how much that 'One Goal' book was...

Women's World Cup

Watched some of Monday's game, and will watch bits and pieces all week. I find that the women take more chances and try to force more scoring opportunities than the men's teams, so they're far more fun to watch. Maybe it's just me, but the men seem to spend 5 minutes trying to set up the perfect play, while the women see a small opening and crash the net much more often.
