Agree I like seeing that support for teammates. Good game again tonight! Glad to see Joey back out with a win under his belt.

this was the last game for Hakstol as a Kraken head coach. He certainly hasn’t solidified anything spectacular to continue as the second longest head coach in the pacific. Look forward to offseason moves and how we utilize some of the AHL prospects next year.
In the meantime go Canucks, bring a cup to the PNW!

B's had a big win yesterday. Marchand stole the show.
This is great news!!!!
This is genuinely awesome news.
Looks like the Kraken will have a new coach next year.

That's BS, Hakstol did a pretty good job here - they should be giving him one more year at least. Francis never gave this team enough scoring threats to compete in the west. they have two 20 goal scorers and they need another D man that can run the PP
they lost a shit ton of OT games as well - in todays NHL you need good special teams and some talent that can put the puck in the net - this is a failure from the GM's position - not the coaching staff

That's sort of the age old thing, right? Is it the coach or the front office?
Lots of Canucks were angry when Bruce Boudreau was fired mid season last year, as they blamed the FO and ownership (myself included as a lapsed Canucks fan) for the Canucks bad play. But somehow Rick Tocchet coached essentially the same group of players to the number one playoff seed in their division and the 5th highest game point total in the league.

We aren't even close to the talent the Canucks have and a number of other teams in the West - who is our JT Miller, Pettersson, Boeser? The Canucks had five forwards with 20 or more goals, two with over 30.
Yamamoto, Bellemare, Tatar and Dumoulin were not upgrades to our roster - we need a two more top six forwards (one center, one wing) and another D man that can complement Dunn on the PP and give more offense 5 on 5.
I wasn't a Hakstol supporter from the start - funny thing is, I wanted Rick Tocchet as our head coach - but Hakstol took a group of 3rd and 4th liners and put a pretty good culture together to compete and they did. He did a good coaching job with the talent of this club and lack of fire power. I think he deserved one more year - that coaching staff earned it.

From what I gather a GM gets a couple coaching changes before being put in the crosshairs. Aside from Colorado, pretty sure Hak was the longest running coach in the west. Coaching changes are common.
Personally I believe he lacked tenacity, didn’t argue for players on the ice enough and too laissez-faire.
Look forward to seeing who they hire.
