UW's Michael Mersch calls out UND fans in our 2nd intermission interview Friday night, Mersch quote:"you would never see something like that at the Kohl Center with their fans leaning over our bench which is kinda unfortunate."

The UW fans are too busy jumping around in circles and doing choreographed dance routines to realize that they are actually at a hockey game. ;):D

The dump and chase with most of the players on this team doesn't fit their skill sets. Our top line is speed...not grind. The RPM line isnt clicking. Colton's line does it ok. Our 4th line does it the best. Why Hak doesn't let anyone carry the puck into the O zone is maddening...especially when we are struggling offensively.

I've seen many really good coaches get overly attached to a certain scheme that doesn't work at times. Happens a lot in football and basketball. Hak's stubborn insistance on the dump and chase reminds me of this. It has been our mainstay since he took over. Has any of the underclassmen made a big step in their game since last year? Almost everyone has regressed. Maybe time to rethink things.

We should just call him "Coach Stand Pat". :)

Seriously though, back in the early 1990's, we had a head coach (won't say who it is, just that he has an Italian last name) who was stubbornly attached to a certain coaching and recruiting philosophy that just didn't work anymore. And we all know how that movie ends. Not saying it's going to happen again, but it's worth remembering the past, because with human beings it has a nasty habit of repeating itself.

But his father-in-law was not a powerful person. They will never fire him. Give him a nice buyout to resign so he can spend more time with his family and explore new opportunities...
