Does Sweeney still have a job in Nodak radio or TV somewhere?

Latest I saw is some kind of fracture in lower back. Will miss rest of season but not a career ender or anything like that.

Not quite sure about one previous posters statement that Berry better game coach than Hak. We can’t play with a lead. I am beyond frustrated with this team. I’m sure Bubbs feels the same way. If nothing else this season hopefully will lead to some changes in recruiting and game management, including the breakout plan.

Dobbers not dinners.

I was at the game last night sitting right behind Thome for the second period slaughter. I guess you guys watching on tv thought he wasn’t given much of a chance but I thought he looked tentative. Was definitely not what we need out of goaltender on the PK. And I don’t know how the team is supposed to stay out of the box the way they call things in this league anymore. We dominated the first period on the ice and on the scoreboard, got our dinners down during the second, and were out of gas in the third. UNO did a very good job defending the lead by locking us down at the blue line and retrieving dump ins. I hate playing like that early in the game with a lead but maybe if we could that would be the way to go with this team.

I think he has made a final decision about UND. He will have trouble leading the troops in Grand Forks now that they know he has one foot out the door. He knows that too.

Gotta make one question whether he really wanted to be here in the first place. Have no idea whether he was doing a good job or not, but sure seems like a dick move.

Good point. Probably nobody on this board can be a member.

I'm not sure who hires and fires the hockey coaches. It might be the Prez and the AD, but it might also be the Zamboni driver over at the Ralph.

Like I said a few weeks ago to much derision: George Gwazdecky is available. Do you want to win or continue to watch this debacle.?Berry is in way over his head. He thinks he can get by with his aw shucks Schlick. The talent and the winning will come to Nodak naturally. Recruiting news to go beyond the Moorhead Spuds and East Grand Forks l

Whoever it was the guy was given figure skating time and space.

I don’t like Cam any better than the next guy. But whoever was the DNan on that second goal well... let the guy stroll down the slot, don’t put a body on him, don’t try to block the shot, don’t try to force him to the outside ... whoever that was should have his scholarship pulled and his name go down in infamy.

PS. Hak is not coming back to a $300 K college hockey job any time soon. What are you guys smoking?

There is no reason to think Berry and crew can handle this team. If the new AD lets this thing slip totally into the abyss with Berry, it will take years to recover. The time to act is at the end of this season and bring in a new staff.

Absent 5 or 6 surefire NHLers that Berry inherited from Hak, the team has been able to accomplish very little and have looked apathetic and untalented in doing so. The sooner Berry and his crew is fired the better. They haven’t recruited well and their coaching ability is nil. The new AD could do worse than to make a run at the CC coach.

We have a decided advantage in that we know which of their lines are the most dangerous. CC doesn't know which of our lines to defend against because none of them can score.

Season over again

Season over

No offensive threat from us that period. Need some scoring threat and we don’t have it. Game slipping away unless they step it up and generate some chances

Thome in the house tonight?

Congrats, Ludvig. Look forward to seeing you play for your country.

Not sure how much more I can watch this year. And I have tickets to go to Omaha and up to Grand Forks for season ending series. Bad year to choose to do this.

Yep. All true and has been for several weeks. No improvement shown. Gets worse every week. We mad the Bulldog PP look like it belonged to a Stanley Cup winning team.

It’s shutdown and I’m pretty sure Berry had something to do with it!

We have to move on from this current group. Berry kicked out with an extraordinary group that Hak put together and took the bit out of their mouth. We know by now that he can’t even begin to recognize, recruit, or coach that talent level.
