Hakstol was and is a great coach. I tend to give more credence to the players who played for him than fans on a blog. The ones I talked to thought fans who didn't think he was a great coach were clueless. He earned the job here and he earned the job in Philly. He put his team in a position to win it all year after year. Time will tell in Philly. You don't make crap remarks about someone's family especially when you don't know what you are talking about. Gutless, no class post. I agree with Ira here. What's with the cheap shots? It's easy to be an internet warrior hiding behind a computer screen acting tough and making a bunch of classless statements. I'd bet any money that Hakstol is actually tougher than most of us. I don't know if anyone is aware of this, but Hak played his last season of professional hockey on a bum knee. I like how some think that Hak only got his job because his father-in-law worked in the alumni department. In case anyone forgot, former head coach Dean Blais recommended Hakstol when he left for the NHL. Dean was a pretty good coach when he was at UND. I think he's done pretty well in his other stops. If Hakstol was fired in Philly, he'd be snatched up in a minute. Don't kid yourselves. 4

Hakstol received rave reviews for coaching a pretty sub-par Philly team to the playoffs last year. But let's whine about him not winning the Stanley Cup, I guess. Some people just seem to hate Hak. How they can blame him for not winning a natty when he's the reason they had the chance in the first place makes me wonder. I agree with others that what the current and past players say about him holds more truth than someone who sits at their keyboard and watches from the stands thinks. 2
runaroundsioux Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Tough? Hak makes Chuck Norris look like PeeWee Herman.

fightingsioux4life Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Honestly, this is all water under the bridge. Hak is in Philly, Berry is in Grand Forks and #8 is hanging from the rafters. Life is good. 3

Popular Post Frozen4sioux Posted October 25, 2016 Popular Post Posted October 25, 2016 Hockey people, including hundreds of former players, people who actually make their living off of hockey, would judge a person's hockey intelligence by their opinion of Hak. When I hear people jaw jacking about Hak being a bad coach....I just kind of smile and walk away, dismissing their opinion as one would the galactic theorizing of a meth addict telling astronauts about outer space. I've never, NEVER, encountered an actual worthwhile successfully intelligent person in the hockey community that didnt respect the hell out of Dave's coaching abilities. 8

People like to blame him for losing in the frozen four but not respect him for always getting us in a position to actually win the frozen four and be a top team year in and out for a decade. I can only imagine how fast people will turn on Berry if we ever miss the playoffs or something .

gfhockey Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Why are we still talking about him? He will always be remembered for not hanging a natty banner and being our Doug woog. 1 1
