I guess, I am confused... After winning an NCAA title, many fans wanted to erect a statue of Brad Berry in front of the Ralph. Now, I am reading comments that he can't coach. Isn't a good recruiter. Can't evaluate talent (even though he's was the head recruiter for Hak). Berry was also an assistant coach in the best league in hockey. Now all of a sudden, Berry doesn't have the ability to coach.
Let's not forget, UND is playing in a conference that plucked the best teams minus the B1G and Notre Dame. And then add the two former CCHA schools. No one is going to run away and hide with that conference schedule. There's a reason the two former CCHA schools have struggled in the NCHC. Why do you think the league's PWR are so high? We're not playing in the WCHA anymore where half of your schedule is made up of teams that are basically a roll over and win game.
A few years back. This was uttered at a press conference.
“I think that coming into the year, one of the things we talked quietly about in our coaches room is that a team could finish two or three games over .500 and win this league,” Former head coach Dave Hakstol said. “I have no idea how it’s going to turn out 10 games from now, but that could be the case. It’s pretty tight (conference race).”
