    If I were Berry's sensei: 

    - end being the friend; time to be coach (and task master) first
    - leave the 6/6 mindset; get to 9/3
    - it's OK to win by 3 or more, winning by 1 is harder so make it easier on the team 

    And finally, grow them in the 'R' months, sort them in the 'Y' months, with focus on crescendo  in the "H and L" months. 

    I’ve posted numerous times that Berry is too nice and that made him a awesome assist. Coach and buffer between the head coach and players but he needs to not be everyone’s friend and be the head coach. Should Schmaltz get the ice time he gets , I don’t think so but he has been here three years do he needs to play according to Berry. He need s to put the best players in the best position to win not just what year your in.

    I'd rather a top nine (expected to score) and a grind. 

    DU had 11 guys with 30+ points; UND had 4. 

    The mindset needs to be more than "up one with 20 to play is good enough". 

    I agree we should play like we are down no matter what the score is , play that way until the final horn.

  3. I think Berry is a great guy but does he have the ability or the will to change ? Hasn’t shown that the last 6-7 years. You would thing he would be under pressure to preform he talks about the pressure to play here , what about coaching. He needs to build some positive culture and stop adding to the negative side.

    For DU to win that natty to get to 10 without a nap room, anti gravity beds, the Penrose and a portal goalie is pretty impressive. 

    You think people care, we win the regular season. The scary part is DU can bring almost the whole team back ,one of the youngest in the NCAA.

  5. But now he can’t even win a post season game , they beat Omaha in St. Paul we play is Sioux Falls in front of a packed house full of UND fans. I think Berry is a great guy just not a good head coach (in the post season #penarose)

    Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, BC, BU. Every blue blood except Denver. Teams with an embarrassment of talent, riches and advantages. And all with a longer period of natty futility than UND, an apparent washed up has been.

    Shut them down. They should be ashamed of themselves.

    But most of those teams have multiple wins in the post season unlike our favorite team. I have said this before I think Berry puts way to much emphasis on the regular season box checking and they have nothing left in the tank. Should worry about playing their best hockey when it counts. His record is his. He has changed assistants , players etc with same results.

    My optimistic look at next year's F group is there are absolutely areas where they can improve over last year. Ultimately, last year's team had really bad depth scoring. Before some get overly excited, I'm not saying these players don't have positive attributes, what I am saying is they have little offensive ability. For arguments sake, let's consider Emerson a "miss". From my point of view, here's the list of the players who have little offensive ability.

    • Schmaltz
    • Emerson
    • Ness
    • Albrecht
    • Montgomery

    That list ideally, should be 2 or 3 deep (3rd being a FR that needs time to adjust). Schmaltz being on the PP / 3rd line compounded the issue. 1/3 of last year's roster essentially couldn't score. 

    IF, Berry goes down the middle like this, they are in a considerably better spot than last year. 

    1C - Berg

    2C - Wilkie

    3C - Jamernik

    4C - Schmaltz

     

    I would have Boisvert as third line center  , with Jamernik and Strinden
