dagies Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Danny Kristo weighs in on the Hakstol debate https://twitter.com/dkristo7/status/586558564589707264 I was reading this thread to see if anyone else had already posted this. Guy has a little credibility, at least. And basically says what a former player once told me about Hak. If this isn't the most short-sighted and narrow-minded comment I've ever seen... If you take out the first year he was there he had a record of 96-63 and made the playoffs all 3 of those years. Why would you ignore the first year? Because it was his first year as a head coach and that team was an absolute dumpster fire that would make the Flint City Tropics look like the New York Yankees. Some simple digging reveals several reason why you can throw out that year: 1. Hak didn't start the year as the head coach. David Lohrei coached one game and then was replaced by Hakstol. (That should tell you everything you need to know about Sioux City that year because coaches don't leave after one game very often) 2. The fifth leading scorer on that team went on to score 9 points TOTAL in 4 years of college hockey (He was a forward). The leading scorer went on to Bemidji State when they were in the NCHA (D-III). 3. They went through 41 skaters and 7 goalies that year. The Wild used 5 last year and everyone freaked out. 4. The next year with a full offseason to prepare he went 35-18 and won Coach of the Year for the league. That should tell you all you need to know about what people in the league thought of him. There is a reason that everyone with actual hockey knowledge from Gasparini to Blais and from Parise to Kristo has lined up behind this guy in support. They might know a little bit more than the bunch of whiny toddlers that keep showing up here. We have out-shot the other team in 6 of the 7 Frozen Four loses that we have had under Hak so its not like he hasn't been getting the boys ready to play. Goofy things can happen in a one game playoff. This deserves more air time. Thank you. I was going to bring up a little of this, but you had far more knowledge to add than I could have. Just ran through the first period again, keeping track of player names mentioned (by John Buccigross and Barry Melrose) for each team. Here are the totals: Boston University: Rodrigues 22 Eichel 43 O'Regan 19 Greer 11 Hohmann 20 Oksanen 21 Olsson 3 Lane 6 Baillargeon 5 Phelps 1 Moran 1 Roberto 4 Grzelcyk 22 MacLeod 3 Hickey 18 Fortunato 11 Somerby 3 Diffley 3 O'Connor 13 North Dakota: Caggiula 15 Johnson 5 Parks 5 Pattyn 9 N. Schmaltz 18 Murphy 8 Chyzyk 2 St. Clair 2 Poolman 3 O'Donnell 4 Gaarder 5 Poganski 0 Thompson 5 J. Schmaltz 3 Mattson 5 LaDue 8 Ausmus 4 Stecher 6 McIntyre 12 Total 1st period player names mentioned: Boston University 229, North Dakota 119. Discuss. Dave I actually thought they were pretty fair. They often commented on calls UND should have gotten, but didn't, etc. I didn't pick up any real bias in watching the game. Quote
Redneksioux Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Wow my mom? Really people. I mean try to be a little more creative. I get most of you are really close to your moms and your farm animals but you're better than that. Talk to yourself much? My offer stands. Send me a pm if you are up for it. Quote

Dave It sounded like Eichel's line was out every other shift. Quote
Goon Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I would like to interrupt the Fire Hakstol and epic drought thread to let you know that the goal video is posted. The Penalty Video is coming next. Quote
808287 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 For the person that asked, I will put up Video sometime. So, place your requests gentlemen. The necktie given to Pattyn before he took his penalty for looking a player down. Quote

Goon Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 14:37 mark of the 3rd where O'D took one on the chin near center-ice. I got it. I am having a bit of trouble uploading this one. Quote
GO_FIGHTING_SIOUX_GO Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I think it's the curse of the New Ralph. Haven't hung one since it opened in 2001. Quote
Goon Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 The necktie given to Pattyn before he took his penalty for looking a player down. I am having a hell of a time with uploading video to Youtube tonight. Here's the Pattyn bowtie... Quote
yababy8 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I am having a hell of a time with uploading video to Youtube tonight. Here's the Pattyn bowtie... A deliberate stick to the neck. How about a 1 game suspension? Quote
fargosioux Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I am having a hell of a time with uploading video to Youtube tonight. Here's the Pattyn bowtie... If the NCAA had any integrity, Rodrigues wouldn't play tonight. Quote
BeazSioux Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 If the NCAA had any integrity, Rodrigues wouldn't play tonight. Haha. NC$$ and integrity in the same sentence. Awesome. We all KNOW that will not happen ; ) Quote
squirtcoach Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Please clarify, who uses a racist mascot? He's talking about Notre Dame. He gets the NDs mixed up. He has never claimed to be very smart, and has been proving it for many years. Quote
squirtcoach Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 The necktie given to Pattyn before he took his penalty for looking a player down. In fairness to the refs, Rodriguez did pee his panties when Patton gave him the 'look down'. Quote
yababy8 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 In fairness to the refs, Rodriguez did pee his panties when Patton gave him the 'look down'. I don't think so. It looked to me like he played coy acting like he had no idea what was going on. Quote
Emerald joker Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Haha. NC$$ and integrity in the same sentence. Awesome. We all KNOW that will not happen ; ) THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Quote
Emerald joker Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 If the NCAA had any integrity, Rodrigues wouldn't play tonight. Actually if the coach had any integrity, Rodrigues wouldnt play tonihgt. You Hak would be pissed if one of his players did that! Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Actually if the coach had any integrity, Rodrigues wouldnt play tonight. You Hak would be pissed if one of his players did that! Yes he would be...and the player would play anyways. 1 Quote
snova4 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Yes he would be...and the player would play anyways. Cue the Ben Blood example. I should also let it be known, if it would have been me, I'd have done the same thing as Blood. That cheap shot at the end of the game was on the same level as the throat stab on Thursday. Quote
Fetch Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 at that point of the game I was ready to pound a few terriers & I'm normally one of the biggest dog lovers there is Quote
Irish Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Wasn't Brad Berry supposed to be the answer and help the team finally win a national championship? You have to admit, he has fashioned quite a nice defensive corps Quote
BeazSioux Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Anyone else feeling a bit down with this championship game approaching? Dang. Bummed man. Good season boys. Close to great. Go SIOUX! Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Cue the Ben Blood example. I should also let it be known, if it would have been me, I'd have done the same thing as Blood.
