NoiseInsideMyHead Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 Second OT was strange while it lasted. DAL took all of the momentum, and STL darn near pi$$ed it away on a boneheaded sequence in their own end. Montgomery still ends up with more NHL playoff wins than Hak. 2 Quote

If Hakstol coaches again in the NHL and wins 11 Stanley Cups in a row, some folks here will STILL grumble that he sucks as a coach because he couldn’t win an NCAA hockey title.   2 Quote

I am in no position to assess whether the Stars job was inherently better or which coach had a greater impact as a rookie, but it’s actually a tremendous compliment to Dave (and the Flyers) for breaking down the wall.

Inherently better could encompass one position -- goaltender. Ben Bishop compared to the list of goaltenders Hakstol had at Philly. It wasn't until after he left that they brought up Carter Hart, who performed much better than the cast they had before. That said, how many points out of the playoffs were they when Hakstol left, and how many did they end up out of it? Not really sure about that stat, but people were giving the new coach props, but I don't think they moved up, even with the improved goaltending. 1 Quote

This. It's mind boggling that more people cant seem to grasp the reality that philli was NEVER going anywhere using 17 recycled tendies. Bishop in net is a "bit" of a difference, to say the least. The real question in neanderthal land... philli... is who kept Hart down as long as he was?... It wasnt Hak, he wasnt given anywhere near any input on team formation. Quote

We'll see how long David Quinn lasts in New York as well. Rangers fans have about as much patience as Flyers fans.  Quote
