Soviet Union was the last country to achieve this and did so in 1989.

LOL at the reverse jinx attempt.

Hawks dominated the first 25 minutes in a big way. Anderson made some awesome saves.

The the Ducks were able to play their game the rest if the way. Didn't dominate like they can, but did establish some cycles to take the pressure off.

Goals by Palmieri and Thompson were the greasy goals the Ducks are known for and the kind you need in the playoffs.

The Ducks played a great playoff third period. Killed two penalties, then only the four ES shots. Didn't try and protect the lead and out shot them 12-8. Very happy with the win. It's only one win though.

Like last year, I feel this WCF series is for the Cup. These are the two best teams right now.

 
More on Hakstol

Philadelphia Flyers general manager Ron Hextall announced this morning that Dave Hakstol has been named the 19th head coach in Flyers history.

“Dave brings a wealth of head coaching experience and success to the Philadelphia Flyers organization,” said Hextall. “He’s a proven winner and we are pleased to have him become part of the Flyers family.”

“I am extremely excited to be named the Philadelphia Flyers new head coach,” said Hakstol. “Through the process here with Ron [Hextall] and everybody in the Flyers organization I have gained even more of an understanding of the history and tradition of this organization and I’m very proud to become part of the Philadelphia Flyers today.”

Hakstol, 46 (7/30/1968), comes to the Flyers from the University of North Dakota where he spent the last 11 seasons compiling an overall record of 289-143-43 with a .654 winning percentage in 475 games. In 2014-15, he led North Dakota to a 29-10-3 record with a .726 winning percentage and a berth in the NCAA Frozen Four.

North Dakota made the NCAA Tournament in every one of Hakstol’s 11 seasons and reached the Frozen Four seven times in that span, which is the most of any program in the country during that period. Hakstol led North Dakota to an overall postseason record of 54-24 for a .692 winning percentage, including a 17-11 record in the NCAA Tournament, during his tenure.

He joined the school’s coaching staff in 2000 as an assistant coach, and took over the head coaching job four years later. Under Hakstol’s watch, North Dakota won three regular season conference championships – two in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA, 2008-09, 2010-11) and one in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC, 2014-15). North Dakota also won WCHA playoff championships in 2005-06, 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12. Hakstol received conference coach of the year honors twice, in the WCHA in 2008-09 and in the NCHC in 2014-15. He was also an eight-time finalist for the Spencer Penrose Award as national coach of the year.

Hakstol’s program has produced 20 NHL players and a total of 46 that have played professionally at some level. His former players include Jonathan Toews (CHI) and Matt Greene (LAK), each of whom have won two Stanley Cups since leaving the school, as well as T.J. Oshie (STL), Travis Zajac (NJD), Drew Stafford (BUF, WPG) and Chris VandeVelde (EDM, PHI). He has also had seven players named Hobey Baker Award finalists, including Ryan Duncan who won the award in 2007, and 11 players named All-Americans.

His former players prove he has an eye for talent

Why did he go to the Cryers

:wink:

I hope he works out for you Flyers fans.

 
Well I wanted someone from outside the organeyezation, just wasn't expecting it to be so far out. Been successful, plenty of final fours but no championship so he'll fit right in. Was half expecting Riley Cote to be the next coach, so it could be plenty worse. Hopefully he translates to the pro level, we shall see.

Anyone know what kind of game strategy/system he employs?

Sounds like he'll fit right in

He has led UND to the Frozen Four six times in his 10 years. He’s been to as many Frozen Fours as Wisconsin and Notre Dame have been to NCAA tournaments in that span. He has been to more regional finals (eight) than Minnesota has been to NCAA tournaments in that span.

His 15 NCAA victories trail only Boston College and are nearly twice as many as the third-place teams, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Miami (eight).

The only coach in the last decade with more wins than Hakstol (260) is Boston College’s Jerry York (266). But his ultimate goal, the national championship, has eluded him.

Stafford, Zajac and Oshie were all Dean Blais's recruits if I recall correctly

ETA- Also - it is a stretch to call Matt Greene talent. But I love Matt Greene with all my heart.

I'm just happy that he's not a retread and not a former Flyer player or coach.

Brock Nelson looked pretty good for USA in the Worlds. Matt Frattin tearing up the AHL. Maybe Rocco Grimaldi will become a superstar.

He was pretty good at that stuff - and lip reading his reactions are not difficult.

Are you sure he didn't say he was hiring "Hextall" and people just misheard him?

First coach to jump from college to the NHL since ... Herb Brooks.

Brooks had NHL experience though, he went back to the college ranks. Last college coach hired with no NHL experience was Badger Bob Johnson in '82. #breakingnewground

“The IIHF has its own protocol and some sort of punishment will be handed down,” Fasel told TASS, per Reuters. “When I saw what had happened, I was very upset. In the 29 world championships that I have had the honor of attending, this is the first time I have seen something like this. What the Russian team did was completely out of order.”

Following the game, the Russian team stayed out for the medal ceremony and individual award announcements, but left the surface prior to ‘O Canada’ being played.

According to various onlookers, former NHLer Ilya Kovalchuk reportedly waved his teammates off the ice (here’s a video from Russian sports writer Slava Malamud.) It’s worth noting that Washington captain Alex Ovechkin was trying to keep his Russian mates on

what's the point of dressing Timonen to only give him 5 minutes of ice time?

also surprised Toews and Kane only played 18 minutes each despite coming in with tons of rest and trailing for most of the game.
