  1. ....and then the next April, and the next April, and again and again for another 8 years.
  2. 100%. Denver is the second youngest team in college hockey and uses zero excuses.
  3. This is patently false and out of touch with reality. We've won one NCAA tournament game against lowly AIC (who's about to be a Div II team) in the 8 NCAA tournaments held since then while our rivals rack up titles. THAT'S why people are coming after Berry. Seasons like how this one are going are just more fuel to the fire.
  4. Brad Berry won 2020. I think he avoided a possible embarrassing defeat in the tournament. UND wasn't playing particularly great down the stretch in 2020 going 3-2-1 against WMU, St Cloud, and Omaha....Western being the only one of those three being above .500, but still only good enough to finish 4th in the NCHC. I think the offense punched above their weight a lot of the year, and in the tournament when things get more physical and the ice seems to shrink a bit, I don't think there was a guarantee they'd have the horses to make a deep run. Their defense was great and would have likely kept them in games, but I don't think there was a lot of guaranteed success ahead for UND. Remember, the following year being the #2 overall seed we only managed to beat AIC (Div II) before losing in the following round and also failing to make the Frozen Four.
  5. So we won zero tournament games in 2020 is what you're saying...meaning it's been eight seasons?
  6. 1 NCAA tournament win in eight seasons....and it was against a team headed for Division 2.
  7. For further context, it looks like we added 7 in the portal in 2023 to Denver's 0.
  8. This team has no identity. Without an identity, you're going to play without purpose, and that's what UND games look like. Are we a race horse team beating you with speed and skating up and down the ice? No. Are we grind it out physical teams making the opponent earn every inch of the ice? Not even close. Are we defensive-minded, controlling neutral zone and playing cautious but optimistic? Nope. Are we a team loaded with snipers using puck movement to give our guys clean looks. Haven't seen it. What are we?? On a good night, we play with a bit of energy and have enough skill to overcome. On a bad night, we look totally lost and players have no purpose in their movements other than to react to whatever the situation gives, instead of controlling the game and playing with intent. What does Berry actually coach?
  9. You mean when Hak was coach and we were known as NHL U, right?
  10. Just wait until you see our portal transfer goalie next year!
  11. Holy smokes! Why didn't anyone tell Davis that UND isn't allowed to score on breakaways?
