Hakstol was king of the loser point, made for some boring hockey. Kraken lead WC this year, lead league in 2017-18 with Flyers.

 

[NoelVilla]

Good for Kraken. Shit coach.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Not much else to do if the players quit on a guy. Never been all that impressed with him or his dead eyed 1000 yd stare.

I mean what kind roster did he have this year?

Both can be true that he's a bad coach and he had a bad roster, but this runs a lot deeper than just the coach IMO.

Dave Hakstol is one of the most consistently surprising coaches in the NHL.

It was a surprise that he got hired in the first place.
It was a surprise it took as long for the Flyers to fire him as it did.
It was a surprise he caught on with Toronto instead of going back to college coaching.
It was a surprise that he was hired by Seattle.
It was a surprise that he got them to the second round last year.
It is a surprise that he's not getting another year with them, given the work he's already done there.

Best of luck to him in the future; I don't think he deserved this, but he'll probably land on his feet somewhere.

I don't know, you might be surprised.







...ba dum tss

 

[North Cole]

Weird. I mean I don't think he's a good coach or anything so whatever. But neither is the roster.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Dave Hansel is a goddamn visionary. He saw this coming, no doubt. Ask him for cup picks. HAYUNNM, Mech-McMann activate. Weird.

 

[HanSolo]

Weird time to start emulating Vegas but go off.

 

[Unsustainable]

No, you're not getting Rod.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

No, you're not getting Rod.

But we asked nicely.

The swing and a miss is from you friend. I said scoring chance generation. At 5v5, SEA was 20th in xGF/60 in 22/23, per Evolving Hockey. 22nd in scoring chances for/60, per NST. They don't create chances well. Which is exactly what I said.

The misunderstanding is from you not being able to distinguish results and the chance creation process. SEA was first league-wide in 5v5 shooting percentage in 22/23, at 10.4%. That was simply not repeatable, more the result of good fortune. They were at 8.2% in 21/22, and 7.7% in 23/24. Hmm, which one is the outlier here?

I was exactly correct. Hakstol teams don't generate much offense. He was the beneficiary of fortunate finishing in 22/23, which was not going to repeat itself. I had quite large positions against SEA this season (under point total, miss playoffs, and a very juicy H2H bet with VAN) for this reason.

I see @majormajor has decided to opt out rather than admit he's wrong?

Berniers not taking the next step in his development but having a kind of bad sophomore season was a huge factor in the Kraken not beeing that close to the PO's this year. Really needed more from him.

well, someone's lying. It's either Kaplan or Francis.

Or Emily Kaplan?

 

[BelovedIsles]

After reading countless pages across the main boards, I have found one consensus: nobody likes Travis Green.

Listen, he was a good Islander and kissed my boy Palffy; that’s a winner right there.

 

[Unsustainable]

It's not you, it's us

 

[gstommylee]

well, someone's lying. It's either Kaplan or Francis.

I doubt Seattle is lying what ever was said from the player was somehow leaked to the media and ESPN somehow misunderstood as that there was a ultimatum during exit interviews from what ever the source was.

The players and francis that spoke out said there was no ultimatum during the exit interviews that doesn't mean the GM was told from the players that they were not happy with Hakstol.

 

[hirawl]

It's pretty clear to me some players did tell Francis they were not happy with Hakstol. This got out to Kaplan who connected the dots in her head when Hakstol was fired. I mean because Hakstol was let go Kaplan took it as it was these players' actions that forced Francis to make the move. She then went on and reported it as she did. An ultimatum baby! Which naturally the Kraken then strongly denied. It's all between the lines.

 

[GMR]

I would take him in a heartbeat over Lalonde.

Of course. Rule number 1 in the locker room: protect the team. You would never admit to that and cause possible further issues
