Someone posted that some of the players went to leadership in a mutiny. Him or us… Sounds like he lost the room.
Okay, I'm not sure how I feel about this. I just hope it turns out well for both the Kraken and Hakstol. Kinda gobsmacked. GO KRAKEN!
I'm not shocked by Hakstol's dismissal, but if what Emily Kapplan reported was true, than I am shocked about that. Sounds more like a player mutiny than any ownership interference. A player saying that they don't want to play for a coach is a HUGE statement. Looking back, there were signs Haks wasn't working, but I for one didn't see any indication that the relationship between players and coaches soured that badly.
I know I was calling for Hakstol’s exit a bit earlier than most and we certainly didn’t agree on it in the comments section here. Having said that, I wish Dave all the best and hope Ron Francis finds the best available for our team whether that be Dan Bylsma or Rod Brind’Amour as those are the early favorites in the rumor mill.
Yup I agree he earned and deserved better. Injuries and the players brought on board last season certainly didn’t help his chances for another successful season.
I believe the rumors if it was a mutiny. He failed us in big moments, the team was not gonna fight and play for someone who was to inconsistent and blaise fair about things. Im ready for the change, its the nhl, im surprised it didnt happen sooner. Go Kraken. 🤍💙
Just found your channel bro. Good to see another Kraken YouTuber.
Also, the Hak firing was absolutely necessary. I just hope we don’t hire a dean evason type guy
Really I didn't like the hire of Hakstol from day one. This is the NHL. Not the league of professional chess players. He's too stoic to be a HC in the NHL. Teams need to know that their coach gets pissed off on the bench just like they do on the ice. Get angry over bad calls and chew some butt on the bench when a player makes a bad error or doesn't defend a teammate. THAT is why I think this team is so inconsistent. If the head coach is a Stone Faced as Mount Rushmore which he ABSOLUTELY IS. How is the team gonna get fired up and push back. There was aggression in season 2. Players defended each other, they fought back. Season 3 NONE OF THAT HAPPENED. This team needs a Coach like a Rod Brind'Amore, or someone like that who isn't afraid to light someone up on the bench, jump down a refs throat, and tell it like it is on the ice. This is still a new team with lots of up and coming players. There veterans can teach them how to be an NHL player. But the character has to come from the coach. If a coach is fired up to win then the team will be too. We got great heart in the team Turbo, Gourde, Eberle, Larsson, Dunn, and Borgen. NOW we need the spine to go with it. Bring us Brind'Amore. #KRAKENRULE
Hakstol gave us the 1st playoff experience so he has that soft spot on me. But we don't want our Kraken to end up like the Thrashers, so a good on-ice product is a must if the owners want to see revenue and for the longevity of the franchise.
Hope to see ya at CPA next season! 😊
Bye Dave ! Remember he coached a flyers team that quit on him. it was a stupid hire to begin with. So obviously I’m definitely ok with this move and don’t see waiting 10-15 games into next season to get rid of that hack get a new coach and his system in place from game one. Now if they can lure trots out of his cushy consulting gig in Nashville or if Brind Amour contract negotiations go sideways in Carolina and get him I would be pretty stoked about either.
