We’ll make it easy for you: you tell us.

You must have to feed the kids hotdog soup if you can stretch 10k that far.

Seems reasonable.

By that measure of a championship every five years, Duluth would have dumped Sandelin after his 6 year drought from 2011. Who should have UMD replaced him with?

I am thinking that you are a little light on the locker room renovations. And yes, very grateful to a very forward thinking and generous Ralph Engelstad and family.

Hell of a deal. I took it as he was reflecting that they won it this past hockey season. Sorry

Do they not give a trophy for the Ice Breaker tournament? michigan had the best record with two wins against Duluth and Mankato. Providence was blanked.

No doubt it would be good for the wood

Some days I think that Berry has forgotten more about hockey than I will ever know, than I snap out of it and remember how much I really know from the outside looking in

Their coach muts need a few grindaz, every sput can’t be a chippa on a natty team

McKay with a career 34 shut outs and 100+ wins? Holy crap! Congrats to him and the rest of the purple cows! If not the Broncos, go Mavs!

Agree on the soup, it was fabulous ( is the next best now the blue moose?) The free happy hour bar food was nuts, thick side pork and white country sausage gravy, must have been sponsored by your local cardiologist’s vacation fund.

I always waited to hear “Taylor Dickin the box”

Would have only been worse with Berry & coaching staff holding back his scoring prowess …wa dind’t want um unny way, onyl grindaz

Who votes for coach of the year? Coaches, athletic directors, and select media? Berry must be well regarded by a whole bunch of clueless voters and not by certain message board posters.

I was thinking holy sh*t, as a team you just lost a boat load of talent after your 2016 championship and now we just got jobbed by the refs on the game winning goal. And from the bench Jost could see his agent lighting cigars with benjamins from the waiting limo. Despite the outcome that was a damn good weekend of hockey in Fargo. Good venue, second best in the state. Geez we are a spoiled group. Thanks coach Berry and staff!

On average, Berry has won 2 out of 3 games with who he has got playing for him. His winning % is .667 and Sandy’s is .545. I feel that he has met the program’s expectations to compete at the highest level every year. With that said your team may occasionally miss the tournament. There are only so many upper tier coaches in college hockey, and he is one of them. It would be pretty stupid to fire or not rehire all of the 58 coaches that don’t bring home the National Championship every year. We do have SIX titles in the last 41 tournaments. In my 40+ years of watching, that is better than any other team. I would guess that their winning percentage is very near the top also for that time frame. So in my experience, they have been the best team in college hockey. And if not UND, who should I cheer? Who has been better? The increased parity of the college game in the last twenty years will hopefully continue in the new pay a player era (NIL).

Your point is well taken Nostradamus, he was forced out immediately after 12 more years. Probably doesn’t even have a job currently.

Most of us have been around to witness, since 1980, six national championships. Incredible that we can still complain on the ‘down years’. Berry ain’t blowing smoke when he talks about the culture of the program and his and the team’s gratitude for the tremendous fan support.

You are either on to something or on something. With that type of logic, many on here would have to descend off their soapbox and cease and desist with the Berry bashing. We are a passionate fan base. Sometimes we forget to be equally grounded in reality. Up until Tampa in 2016, I was 0-5 at frozen fours and had lost a lot of hope. Sh*t, most programs struggle to get that far as consistently as the Sioux do. Now I am glad that I was there and I have a lot more patience for our team and the how difficult a one and done tournament can be.

As banged up and under manned as the team is, I’m ok with winning the battle to the puck, the next shift, this period, this game mentality. The players all got their man card stamped this weekend. One hell of a showing against the dogs. Lots of pride and a no quit Sioux team first mentality. Was nice to see Berry and Sandelin embrace at the end of the weekend also. Battle tested 40 year friendship.

Currently two of the top five scorers in the BCHL will be 21 year old freshman at Mankato this fall. Seems like good recruiting by the coaches but will their over ager point production continue in a much older CCHA?

I was thinking the banner hangers of scsu. Their teams I usually like, their fans I do not.

If I had my way, Wheeler should have been called for diving against JPL or maybe Lammy should have used one of his windmill saves. Geez, I miss those epic final five games

Is this new? I thought the treatment was bleach, horse tablets, and a club soda chaser
