Was messing around with the customizable pairwise ranker on CHN.com and I switched the Arizona State loss to a win and the Bemidji State Tie to a win (left everything else the same). I didn't come away surprised because those two "wins" would have us at 14th in the pairwise rankings. We win those two games and I think there's a different perspective on the season.

But you and the gobc said he’s fine.

And since he’s only got NCAA 1 tournament win since inning. Consistency hasn’t been his friend and I think that’s the frustrating part. He was quick to dump Matt Shaw when things weren’t going right, maybe it’s time to dump an assistant…

People’s complaints aren’t knee jerk reactions, this has been an issue for a few years now. I think the frustration with Hak was that we were always at the table but we couldn’t finish it off. Getting to the NCAA tournament should be a standard thing for UND and anything less than that is unacceptable.

You are 100% correct that this program really took off when Hak took the reins. People also forget those early/mid 90's times at the old Ralph when the team was so terrible that you couldn't give away a ticket.

Everyone can speculate what will/should happen but at the end of the day Berry has to answer to the AD. I myself am concerned with the way the program is heading. I am not sure if Berry has lost a step in recruiting or if it's his assistants who are crappy at recruiting but something in that department needs to change. When I hear stories about players not hanging out with each other and what not, it concerns me because it reflects with their play on the ice (they don't play well together). It's like what Herb Brooks said, "I'm not looking for the best players, I am looking for the right players" and I question if they are getting the right ones. Also, how many seasons are we going to give Berry before people really get worried? I understand winning a league title is good but not making the NCAA tournament multiple times is a big deal.

So you're okay with the way the program is heading?

Berry has a good relationship with Kris (kisses the ground she walks on) and we all know she runs the hockey program. Berry is safe...

Let's be honest, they don't run anything. He just talks to talk.

That might be what I was thinking....Thanks!

Umm, I am pretty sure he scored a goal in the national championship game.

Understandable that you might be hurting but don't lash out to people who are curious. Also, if you are not intending to explain what happened, its probably wise to not post it on social media.

No need to be a dick about it. It is a legit question that is asked 9/10 when someone passes.

I'm a judy's regular...

A jersey redesign is the last thing this team needs to think about right now...

With the hockey team tanking big time, don't you think it would be more important to get them back on track? Where is their priorities?

Aren't you and the rest of the GOBC putting something together?

Can't do that. Basically, we need a business like Rydell's to pay a goaltender some money (and I believe that amount can be whatever Rydell's deems fit) for being a spokesperson.

That is a better way of putting it, "good young recruits".

Why does it matter that we lose NHL draft picks? A lot of players are drafted and don’t even sniff the NHL. We‘ve players come here and no be drafted and later on they parlay that into a pretty good NHL career (Rowney, caggiula, stecher, smith, Blake).

I’ve been saying it all year, this team is awful. Idk if it’s coaching or the players but they can’t seem to put anything together.

Nope....stay away from that idea...

You're missing the point. The point is that UND cannot come out and play like they did against Lindenwood and expect to win conference games.

The next three series are with conference foes, you really think this team can come out flat like they did against Lindenwood and still pull out a win? I am glad they won and got the sweep, but they were ugly wins.

Exactly, everyone seems to be happy because we are 16th in the pairwise. Well guess what, 16th doesn’t do us any good. This team needs to play like every single game is an elimination game.
