Define “this team.”

I kinda like how we fans turn on each other in stressful times. Seriously; if our team is no longer feared, at least we will be.

It most certainly wasn't. Imminent? Probably.

I agree. I'm entirely OK with him being gone, buy he was a good coach. HIs record in NCHC shows that. Ironic that he won the big one right away, leading many of us to think he had "it" for tournament play. Turned out to be his downfall.

It worse than you know. My sources say it's none other than Brad B with a mullet wig and fake stache.

A close friend was a frosh on the team in '71-72 and played a lot on JV, which they had at that time. Gino was coach. Not well-liked by players, according to him. That did not prove to be true when he was HC, though, so maybe it was personal.

My thought as well. He can't stand pat, and he knows it.

I don't know shyt about any of this inside stuff or about other teams' coaches, and I don't have a preference. But if Jackson is hired, it seems to me that continuing the Berry style is the last thing he'd do. He, more than just about anybody, knows how ready the program is for a new direction and has seen up close and personal how brutal the UND HC position can be when you don't measure up.

No. You'll stay in your room for that. Until selection ____day.

We fans enjoy anonymity and complete lack of responsibility, so we can speak with absolute certainty and cite unnamed sources. We don't even have to know how to skate. Great gig.

Is it a little odd that the app deadline is so soon and just before regionals begin? Almost as if they had someone on line 2.

He knows the sword hangs over his head too, which helps.

As good a guy as Berry has been and as well as he has served the University in many capacities, I'd suspect this was handled as a result of ongoing discussions and in a manner acceptable to Berry.

No kidding. A lot of people here were reaching for torches and pitchforks. A lot.

How much will the new canadian juniors eligibility rule come into play in this selection, if at all?

That's actually a lot of talent.

Good post, gf.

Is that because kids are playing for their own personal professional futures (selfish play), or just the result of so much dynamic offensive talent.

Come on, you guys. Those comments are absurd from a fan standpoint. Do we really take ourselves that seriously? We're not playing a full 60 here (myself included). Or maybe we'e just not playing with a full deck.

OK, so Berry has had a few rough years. I feel a few things need to be said here. One, he's a genuine nice guy and sets a good example for his players. You don't see his guys slam their sticks against the boards or skate off the ice in a pout after a loss. They know how to hang their heads without being rude. Most important: losing is hard, but it's a fact of life, and it can build character. BB has built a lot of character over the years.

A very close friend went to Western for his undergrad and MSU for his medical degree. LIke all people who did not go to UMich, he hates the ugly helmets, so its a trifecta for him.

That's what I like about this place. Think you'll find discussion of Sartre existentialism on GPL? Throw in gfhockey, which is another kind of abyss.

Best Hockey Memories, page 7 of Mens Hockey here. A lot there, thanks mostly to Blackheart.

Or guys who are willing to just stay around to be there when and if you need them, like Wilbur.

Will the Universities soon be called NBA/NFL/NHL affiliates?
