Siouxperfan7 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Of course those are those that hate it when people bring up other coaches and compare their success to Hak. But it just furthers the point that everyone that that thinks Hak should be fired is literally our of their mind. Look at another NCHC counterpart. Enrico Blasi. Let's look at his career at Miami: Years at Miami - 16 Regular Season Championships - 3 Conference Tournament Championships - 2 Playoff appearences - 10 Frozen Four appearences - 2 Championship game appearences - 1 National Championships - 0 Also, 5 of the 10 seasons Miami made the NCAA tournament, they failed to win a game. Do you think they are screaming for Blasi's head in Oxford? Just trying to put things in perspective when you consider the success of other coaches in college hockey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND1983 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Put Dean or Gino in the exact same Frozen Four games that Hak has been in, and I am betting we still have 7 titles. Some of those games we were just outplayed; BC usually got the best of us, because they were dominating teams. They were just better. Some games have no explanation, that is just the way the sport is. We outplayed BU and lost, and that is the coach's fault. Had we showed up like Lucia's Goofers did and played completely flat and uninspired in the first game of the tourney, I would have been a little more upset. Their coaching history says otherwise and that you are completely 100% wrong. Once they get to the big game they get sprinkles on their dessert. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well put, and Blasi is a great coach despite his number of "Natty's". That being said, i'd still take Hak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Oxford isn't Grand Forks and Miami doesn't have UND's tradition of championships and Blasi didn't take over a team whose previous two coaches had won 5 championships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Four teams go to a Frozen Four (Capt. Obvious moment). One of those four wins it; statistically, you should win 25% of those you attend.

Change "Frozen Four" to "made national semifinals game" and the statistics don't change. Make nation semis --> 1 in 4 chance of winning it all. Has UND made the national semis 28 times?

mksioux Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 If he is let go (I'll be upset but I'd get over it) there better not be a F&*$ing dog and pony show to hire the replacement. Good point. Between North Dakota's open records laws and UND's ridiculous procedures, it would definitely be a sh!tshow. Although it looks like Bubba was ultimately a good selection, the process of hiring the football coach was laughable and the it would ten times worse for hockey. I doubt many fans who are primarily hockey fans even realize how bad the process would be. All applicants are published in the Herald (depressing the pool of candidates), the process is dragged out to last forever with no possibility of a quick hire - even if the AD is targeting a particular coach, and the HR department selects the finalists based on a "points process" as if they're hiring a chemistry professor. It's a real gem of a process. Hakstol was hired internally, so we haven't seen what North Dakota's stupid hiring laws would like in the internet age when applied to hiring the head hockey coach at UND.

squirtcoach Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I think we can all agree the real problem here is hockey uses goals to measure wins and losses. No, the REAL problem is basketball does not allow goaltending and checking like hockey does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest folly with the regression to the mean argument is that it applies both ways; Hakstol should have won at least 25% of UND's 7 most recent frozen fours. Put another way, Hakstol should have at least one, if not two, titles by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND has seven titles. Has UND been to 28 Frozen Fours? Early franchise enormous success is meeting up with statistics. See: Central Limit Theorem or Regression to the Mean Probably the most applicable to this would be either Central Limit Theorem or The Law of Large Numbers, both of which refer to things evening out to the expected outcomes or norm "given a sufficiently large number of trials" 28 trials is absolutely too small a sample for either to kick in. Not even close. Think of flipping coins. If someone flipped 10 times and got heads 8 times it would be mildly unusual but not even close to being incredible. If someone flipped 10,000 times and got 80% heads it would be off the charts amazing. You need a large sample for either "law" to work. If people are saying that the reason that Hak is having such a tought time in the Frozen Four is that Gino and Dean did so well they are searching for explanations in areas where none are to be found. The fact is that no one knows why we are snakebit. Seems to be a little bit of everything with two common elements - less that stellar goaltending and falling behind early. I like many of the things Hak does with our program. My question is - can he be flexible - can he find a fix for this? I really wonder what his take-away is from watching recent Frozen Four game tapes - not trying to be snotty, I really wonder what he sees after study and analysis like no lay person does - what does he see and what if anything is he planning on doing differently. I personally would really like to open up the offense and carry the puck in more, but that's just my layman's opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May, Thorndycraft, Gasparini, Blais, and a few others were winning every other frozen four that UND went to; i.e, tradition and expectations. Hakstol's record does not equal the tradition and expectations set by his predecessors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
