2024-25 University of North Dakota Hockey Season
Big A HG replied to Frozen4sioux's topic in Men's Hockey
He already sold it year one. -
Used to go to every game I could. If I couldn't go I'd pay to watch, home or road. I'd buy merch left and right. Went on the destination trips, etc. Now? Pfft...I won't spend a dollar on the program until Berry's gone. It's not even close to the UND hockey I knew. And it hasn't looked right for awhile. I don't care about the NCHC "Championships". Even most of those years things didn't look right. But now? Things don't look right AND they're not performing right. When you're a head coach of a team, your job is to leave the program off better than when you started. Brad has basically zero chance of doing that.

Someone needs to lock Berry in a closet tomorrow and force the boys to watch a couple hours straight of Mr Placebo before the game.

At no point does this team ever look like it knows what it's doing.

I have one of these jackets...#9

It's been 25 days since Berry has won a game that counts....Fire Berry!

Flyers are like lottery tickets, except none of them get you to retirement and you still end up losing more than winning. Fun to dabble in, but shouldn't be your main form of recruiting.

Brad Berry probably eats his steak well done with ketchup....there, that better? -

If your steak isn’t medium-rare you’re doing it wrong. Not an opinion. -
Not to be outdone, Boeser joins Pinto with his second as well.

Remember all the regionals where we’d complain that BC had it made by having the regional in their backyard, Worcester, seemingly every year…so UND set up the same arrangement in Fargo and now we never even participate? Pepperidge Farm remembers…

Gino did more for UND with less than Berry has. The end of Gino's tenure was not good, but with a new coach, things quickly turned around again. What I want is to get rid of Berry before it starts looking like how it ended for Gino. He's had plenty of time to improve things, but it's more of the same. NCHC regular season titles are weak sauce and drastically overstated. There's a reason only three different teams have won a regular season NCHC title in 11 seasons. This program is predicated on post-season success, not regular season. -

Of all the resources UND can control, UND has the best of everything. UND can't control if they have mountains to look at out the window. They can't control having 70 degree weather in January. They can't control if the USNTDP is in their backyard. But, every last dollar has gone to giving Brad everything he could possibly want to improve the program. REA and UND have spared virtually no expense. He has the rich tradition and HAD recent success to piggyback off of. He has a great fanbase and UND was known as NHL U...a program that was run like an NHL team and developed kids to be pro hockey ready. No one talks about us in that regard anymore. Also, your own "reading comprehension is hard" quote is quite the bit of irony with your post. For me, national titles aren't an expectation. It should always be the target at a place like UND, though. What I want is to be in the conversation on a reasonably regular basis for one though. I don't think it's wrong to think we should make a Frozen Four on a somewhat regular basis, but we can't even get out of the first round unless we play AIC...if we even make the tournament at all. The title was 9 years ago and it's been pretty rough sailing ever since. Again, in a one-and-done format, you can't ever expect national championships. But, I think you can expect to win regional games more than we have. Honest question @Goon ...What would it take for you to think Berry is no longer the right coach? -

Berry's been saying the same sh*t for years because it's been years since his team has done anything in the post-season. We aren't jumping ship because this is the first bad Brad Berry year. This is one of many and he's had plenty of chances to correct course and it's just more of the same. I don't think NCHC titles are all they're cracked up to be and don't do much to excite a fan base. All it means is you outperformed 3-4 other teams over the course of a 24 game conference schedule (bad teams omitted from conversation). Nobody is saying we should win a national championship every year, that's silly, but we haven't had our name in the conversation of one going on almost a decade. Again, this isn't the first sign of weakness from UND. The team has every resource under the sun and it makes no difference. -

What's negative about what I wrote? 16th in the nation is still decent, but total goals is entirely meaningless when A) Total goals are so darn close, and B) we've played as many as three more games than many nearby teams. Take away our last three games and that puts us in 23rd in goals. I didn't even mention Berry, so try again. #KeepShilling -
That bald ref has it out for UND

Media timeout helps Bama here. A little panic started to set in there.

We’ve terrible luck with the bounces of the rim on our bunnies this half.

It was fun while it lasted.

These guys are flopping everywhere and the one bald ref gives them every call. Frustrating.
