Common Man Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I agree, I also sure hope he doesn't receive more from the league... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trunk Monkey Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Too harsh! He used poor judgement and in a split second, he acted before thinking. Hak and his players represent UND very very well and I have the utmost respect for Hak and the UND Program. Go Sioux! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 this is from UND, im guessing since they did this the wcha wont do anything further. seems to work that way. he messed up, he said sorry, he will serve his punishment.... i thought he would miss a game fro sure. 2 it is. go sioux and f the gophers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-cia Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Should the WCHA suspend Hak, I can't believe that it will be in addition to the two games. I would think the suspensions would be concurrent. IMHO, two games is excessive. UND believes the punishment fits the 'crime'. Hak is Head Coach and likely held to higher standards than the average Joe. Again, it is what it is, let's move forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeypat15 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I am very confident with Eades, and Jackson backing him up, but any chance Blais is in town that weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxFanatic Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I think 2 games is bull. One game would've been fine I could take that. Not good having our head coach not being on the bench against a huge series with Denver. The series will really solidify what our position in the WCHA standings will be and he won't be there on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodbuster Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 So, harsh or not, what does this entail? Can't be on the bench? Can't be in the building? I assume he can still run practice for the next 2 weeks. It will also be interesting to see how the team reacts to this. Will Eades be in charge during the Pioneer games? Has any other major college hockey ever been suspended like this? Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I am very confident with Eades, and Jackson backing him up, but any chance Blais is in town that weekend? I'd be more than happy to pay for Jim Archibald's tickets if he wants to "guest coach". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeypat15 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I'd be more than happy to pay for Jim Archibald's tickets if he wants to "guest coach". Will we bring in a 3rd coach, if so we should make it someone fun, Prpich? Also another idea, how bout an autograph session that weekend with Hak, maybe get some pictures like this made up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontroguy Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Too harsh! He used poor judgement and in a split second, he acted before thinking. Hak and his players represent UND very very well and I have the utmost respect for Hak and the UND Program. Go Sioux! Monkey, He flipped off a ref on TV. I don't think that is representing the school very well, do you? That being said, who is being punished here? I think he still get's paid, so you are not really hurting him financially. (no, I don't think you need to either. I am guessing he is plenty embarrassed already) So you are really only hurting the kids on the team. As a Gopher fan, I think the apology is enough. Maybe fine him and give it to charity or do 20 hrs of community service stuff. 2 games is pretty stiff and uncalled for, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has any other major college hockey ever been suspended like this? Wow. If I remember correctly, when Doug Woog was suspended about 10 years ago (1996?), he couldn't have any contact with the team whatsoever and Mike Guentzel was acting head coach for a week running practices, etc. Since UND is doing this internally, I don't know what it will exactly look like, but I'd imagine it would be similar to this, more or less.

UND85 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 What is the penalty when a basketball coach from our school gets a technical foul for yelling at a ref or swearing? Two games is a lot I think. Is he even allowed in the REA during the games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
