The problem we have is that we need to move fast, but in the same token, do we want Bill Chaves making a decision on another coach? If they plan on giving Berry another year, they should get rid of Chaves first, so we can get someone with a successful record of coach hiring.

You realize that ChatGPT is just a glorified message board. If not, put all your money down on their stock suggestions.

How are we getting players that played on those teams?

If you are going to bring in Chyzyk, why not bring in someone he has worked with in Smaby to be coach, because you can get the talent, but if Berry isn’t going to play them, or his systems don’t best utilize their talents, what have you gained? Maybe there is another up and comer like Raboin, but don’t push the reset another couple years down the line to give Berry another chance to change his stripes, especially when he is so close to the end of his career anyway. Get your coach of the future and general manager to grow together.

I think we played fine the first two periods, but when the score is tied and your season is on the line and a team who doesn’t need to have the same desperation comes out and dominates you, it doesn’t give you a lot of confidence in the work ethic. It seems it takes falling behind in a game and the pairwise to get them to start playing with intensity and desperation, and as we have seen, that doesn’t work out too well. Where was that Jackson Kunz we saw the last 5 minutes all year? Berry had his reboot season where he turned over the whole defensive unit to change the direction. You shouldn’t get a second reboot, because at some point the direction change should be away from the current culture.

The fact that Alex has actual accomplishments from Denver to list off to define their greatness, but has to use hyperbole when talking about UND is a sad state of how far we have fallen.

You mean you expect the person who uses xG to show how good UND really is, and calls losing at the “X” in the semi finals every year a hex, to give an accurate state of the program evaluation.

Funny how Scott Arniel didn’t bring Berry on as an assistant coach with Winnipeg after getting fired in his first stint in Columbus with Berry as assistant. Seems like he made the right decision, as Winnipeg is flourishing while UND has fallen out of the top ten college programs.

It’s bizarre some of the lineup decisions, almost like Berry is being paid on the side by our rivals to drive the program into the ground.

Seriously, if you aren’t planning on an extension, just rip off the bandaid now.

I have a feeling Berry will announce some recruits pretty quick to try and take some of the heat off. We have seen you can have good recruits but if they aren’t being used correctly, or used period, it doesn’t matter.

Fully expecting a UND player to say they are glad they gave UND fans another chance to watch the team play in the Frozen Faceoff at the “X”.

In retrospect, losing to Omaha might have been more of an eye opener for people who can’t see the forest for the trees, which appears to be the case for the administration at UND. It seems like it is just as baffling how Chaves keeps his job when the programs at UND are so dysfunctional.

Now can someone please show that list of all the teams that have more NCAA tournament wins than UND during the Berry era!

Seven Frozen Fours and never missing the tournament or home ice?

Thankfully I saved my money for an extra golf outing this summer. The Berry Effect indeed!

So is the game in Austin against Michigan State set in stone. Might be very embarrassing for Berry if they can’t get a bunch of fans in a smaller arena.

So Berry needs to impress on his players every other year how important the early games against Bemidji, et al are? When a program like North Dakota is average every other year, it is a culture problem, and it begins with the coach. Best players play should be the number one tenet of culture.

Maybe Berry knows he is gone and doesn’t care if he is pissed off.

You can’t tell me it isn’t the style of play that Berry teaches. The announcers said the same thing of Western as is the case with Denver, they don’t want to be grinding in their own end, they want to be aggressive.

Other than Bump, don’t know that they have a lot of big studs, but when you play as a team you don’t need almost all your forwards to be drafted like UND.

Ferschweiler takes lesser guys like Slukynsky and Nehring into something while Berry takes guys with talent and turns them into guys that don’t score because of his system.

Will Berry say it is a shame we didn’t get in because we were playing so well.

Once again Berry’s team waits until the other team takes the lead to start to get aggressive. And then he believes it’s time to play Montgomery because that’s what you want, a guy who isn’t playing his natural position and is a fringe recruit to begin with.

Whatever happened to UND’s hard line that could shut down guys? So we have guys that can’t score and can’t hold down guys either?
