What they are saying on the radio is the first two times he was asked, was the last two years after the seasons were over. Brad Berry was brought in because of the offers to Hak. He was the backup or replacement guy.

I still would have liked to see a call made to Mike Guentzel, just to make some GPLers go into panic mode.

Guentzel's next gig will, and should, be a head coaching spot, would love to see him come to UND though. Solid coach and would tick off gopher nation. they can have that clown, John Hill, back.

He's only been the GM in Philly for 1 year. The year before that he was assistant GM and before that he was with the LA Kings, so he wouldn't have been after Hakstol the past 2 or 3 years, right? I understood it that they'd been in contact for a few weeks and it took 3 times for Hextall to get Hakstol to accept the job...that he turned it down twice. Maybe I'm mistaken though?

They never said it was Hextall, I thought they did say it was the Flyers though, not positive? They did say that Hak kept saying "no" because he wanted a NC first, before leaving, until now? Hextall said he got to know Hak the last 2 weeks, so yes that sounds like it is the 1st time Hextall went after Hak.

I believe you are correct. From what I've seen reported they had been after Hakstol for 3 weeks and he had said no twice and Hextall came back again a 3rd time and wasn't taking no for an answer. Somehow the 3rd time he got Hak to say yes my guess is that $$$$$$ may have been an influence the 3rd time.

My impression is similar to yours, that Hextall had made 3 attempts in the past few weeks. During the Flyers press conference either the owner or the team president mentioned that Hextall had spent large parts of 4 days with Hakstol and had done a lot of research. That didn't happen since Friday.

bigskyvikes Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 To be clear, I'm not a %gobc member and I have no one on the "inside". Just listening to Ryan on KNOX. It maybe possible a caller said this and not Ryan. I'm suppose to be working, but its been busy with social media....lol.
jdub27 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Anyone have any idea of the Flyers will be paying any sort of buyout to UND on the remainder of Hakstol's contract? I can't remember if there was any language that allowed him to leave to the NHL with no monetary penalty to his new employer.

From the Herald article: "They came at him about three weeks ago," Berry said, saying that Hakstol repeatedly turned down the Flyers job until finally accepting the position.

Godsmack Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 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".
SJHovey Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Good luck to Hak. Wish him all the luck in the world. Enjoying the unspoken nervousness around here of some, the "uh oh, we got what we wanted, now what" feeling. Has to be pretty nice when someone, in a position to hand out one of the jobs to the 30 best hockey coaches in the world, thinks you deserve a shot at one of them.

I also like that UND will be in good hands with coach Berry. This is one of those sought after Win Win situations.
