Who?

That was surprising to me as well. What was Chaves looking for in that meeting or what did Berry say that made Chaves decide to fire Berry? At the same time he said he doesn't make decisions in a vacuum so that tells me he spoke about the possibility with Armacost before the meeting. I'm not totally buying everything being sold.

I believe Jackson said in his press conference that Simmer wasn't there because he was on the road recruiting? Or maybe that was just wishful thinking

😄

Not to toot my own horn but… beep beep

Love to hear it, our d core is going to be a force to be reckoned with. Emery has a bit of a mean streak(in a good way) and I imagine one more year of experience will make him more comfortable back there.

The tough part with fans that hate the portal is Jax is going to have to use it to field a team for this year(and maybe the next) as recruiting takes a long time and it sounds like there's significant work to build UND's presence back up on the trail.

Nice work on the questions, did you need to request media credentials or how did you get access to him after the press conference?

Berry wasn't a super polished public speaker as well, he got better as he went along but I remember him seeming pretty nervous in his first press conference. Also, give him a little grace. This is the biggest moment in his professional life for a school he's stuck with through it all as opposed to taking a pay raise or promotion to an NHL or AHL job. The part where he got choked up thanking his family so he ended with it got me. I know that feeling.

I'd ask ChatGPT

It sure can

It's still pretty fresh so give me a little grace, not like I'm re-hashing a logo change from 13 years ago . Also, I just sit in the stands. Adapting isn't necessarily required to drink beer and yell at the refs.

We better be at minimum 5-0 by August or I riot

You too?! I had to step away after the empty net goal as I feared what I'd say in front of my mother and our family friend who got us the tickets.

Anyone else sick of this crap? College hockey isn't even college hockey anymore, it's a completely different sport when you aren't recruiting a kid to develop them into the best player/person they can be. You're recruiting your commits, your recruiting other teams' players, your recruiting your own players so they don't leave. It's wild. All of it points to a GM position like Schloss brought up with Chyzyk, a head coach can't possibly keep up with all of it and still find the time to develop a strategy to break UMD's forecheck the following week.
