Ron over Fletch for sure.

Hak or AV is like asking do you prefer electric chair or 21 gun salute into your head?

If they all shoot you in the head it'd probably be the less painful option.

I’m not going to root for him to fail because I don’t want to see Seattle get off to a bad start. It’s not good for anybody if they become Columbus or Atlanta and have it take them 15 years to figure out how to have a good team. Of course, they’re still going to have a better roster than those teams. At least they should.

See, with that goatee and all...maybe this really is Alternate Dimension Hak that we're seeing here. A more sensible, competent version of the guy we knew before.
I can dream, right?

I am also a member, sadly.

Hakstol gets hired, comes to Seattle, and we now have 100 degree weather. In Seattle. It's supposed to be 110!!! on Monday. This is not coincidence. Dave Hakstol is literally Satan.

Berube won a Cup after he left, there is life after the Flyers.

A lot of HCs struggle in their firs stint, one reason is they generally get that first stint with a team with limited talent, teams with lots of talent can attract the top coaching candidates.

“The god Pan was traditionally depicted with goat-like features, including a goatee. When Christianity became the dominant religion and began copying imagery from pagan myth, Satan was given the likeness of Pan,[4] leading to Satan traditionally being depicted with a goatee[5] in medieval art and Renaissance art.”

Hmmmm.

 

[StarterHart]

Hmmmm.

All I know is I've never seen them in the same room. And my face is currently melting.

The sun is down and it's still 90 damn degrees, this is bullshit.

Hak's facial hair situation makes me think he pulled the Mr. Snrub on the Kraken.

Fully expecting SEA to win a cup (with Hak at the helm) before us at this point because why the **** not

Evil Hak could be good at coaching for Seattle, unlike regular Hak was for us. That would be cruel. Cruel cruel cruel.

Hakstol was infuriating in a lot of ways, but Flyers fans liked to exaggerate how bad he was and blamed him for all the team's faults. By all accounts, he was a very good assistant coach for the Leafs and transformed a mediocre defense into one of the best in the league.

This is from a Caps fan on the main board thread.

As a Caps fan I saw enough of his Flyers teams to understand why. The guy would ice fourth liners ahead of first liners, put together lines with guys whose skills made no sense together, ran a defensive system that seemed to be designed to actively create chances for the opponent, etc. He really was making them a worse team than they were on paper by quite a bit imo.

Maybe he's more sympatico with the new guys he got or maybe he learned some lessons or whatever, but he was genuinely hot garbage in Philly.

And it's full of crap, like most of the Ranger posts about AV.
