I’d agree with you that the AD needs to be gone and I’d also agree with you that Berry is not a bad coach.

Who knows what would happen to Ryan Day but the fans have every right to be upset with the way the program is.

Exactly. You think any school that has had major success at their premier sport is going to sit back and allow them to underachieve? Look at Ohio State football. They can’t beat Michigan in and their fans are calling for their HC and they are in the CFP.

Again, I think you’re missing the point. It sucks that those schools have won a national title but we want a seat at the table.

Yea, I’ve read some of your blogposts and they are filled with a whole lot of nothing. You are no more of an expert than anyone else here. They are basically your observations, which are basically moot because you don’t want to upset the apple cart. Why aren’t you diving into why they have lost or barely beaten lower tier teams? Why they can’t win the NCHC tournament? Why they haven’t had success in the NCAA tournament? Or why can’t the make the NCAA tournament? That’s not being negative, that’s what a good reporter does. in case you haven’t noticed I haven’t exactly called for Berry’s head. I ask the questions because I have a hard time understanding why Berry can put up a decent regular season but can’t figure it out in the postseason. A lot of us will never agree with one another but for anyone to say that us UND fans are entitled, is unacceptable.

You’re just entitled to think that.

Based on your post it doesn’t seem like you disagree with your “media” friends either. You’re afraid to call a spade a spade and you will defend mediocrity to the moon and back. Being the primer sport on campus and having the best of everything, the hockey team should be held to a higher standard by everyone (fans included).

who here is pissed all the time? It seems to me that it’s you who takes everything personal. We are all fans and we will always cheer for our team but when we aren’t doing good, we can voice our displeasure. A lot of people spends lots of money (clothing, trips, tickets, donations) and just want to see them do well. You think UND fans are entitled? If trying to figure out and asking why we haven’t had success in the national tournament makes me and others entitled, so be it. However, majority of us on here are realistic and don’t think everything is all sunshine and lollipops.

Probably more than you contribute. I’d rather listen to someone who is honest about our situation than someone who tries to keep polishing a turd.

It’s time Judy’s kicked you out. You’re not making any sense

Exactly. No one on here (or our fanbase) is claiming we should be national champions every year. The expectations are to be a top 3 teams in the NCHC, have a good showing in the NCHC tournament and making the NCAA tournament (and having a decent run). For all the talent we have had come through the doors during Berry's tenure, they should have been able to accomplish this on a regular basis. Instead, we are now regulated to "destination" games during the season (which we haven't had success at) and watching other teams play hockey in the spring.

Except most have made it to the FF, FF championship game or won a national title. At the end of the day all of those "blueblood" programs have had more success than UND recently. Like I said earlier, if we take out the 2016 championship, Berry's record on a national stage is way below UND's standards.

You’ll have to throw Lake Superior state and their 4* national titles

All those teams you listed have had a coaching change within the last 10 years, some even had multiple coaching changes. You know why that is? Because the standard for their programs had not lived up to their potential. I also denoted how many times they have been to the FF too.

People keep bringing that up and I still think it's an excuse they use to justify the other bad season. Yes, we were the #1 team in the pairwise but we will never know what the outcome would've been due to them not playing any postseason games. We know that after 2016, Berry has had very limited success in the NCAA tournament (and dare I say, the NCHC tournament too). It could easily be argued that UND wouldn't have won the NCAA tournament that year, let alone win a game in the NCAA tournament. The fact of the matter is, Berry is a good regular season coach but hasn't gotten it done since he inherited Hak's team in 2016. Sure, conference titles are nice, and we can hang a banner, but should we be satisfied with only conference titles? If we exclude the National Championship in 2016 from his resume and based his coaching off everything else, we wouldn't be talking about him now because he would be long gone and that's a fact.
