    In a job there are water marks to show how your going , players in is goals , assists plus minus etc. 

    for the coaches it’s performance wins , losses , recruiting. 
    Berry gets a plus rating in regular season but a minus in the post season. He has been head coach for eight years and he is what he is but it’s up to him to change or like any job you don’t produce then a change should be made. I believe Berry is a great guy he needs to figure out how to win when it’s a one and done.

    On your last paragraph, I'd absolutely not pin it all on bad luck. It's also not poor coaching, from what I've seen. We've been in the position to win all of the tourney games we've lost. I'd put it in the category of "that's hockey". What else could it be, honestly? Who should be blamed? That feels like the white rabbit we've been chasing in this conversation for several years now.

    I'd put that goal into bad bounce, yes. Bad decision, but it hit off his teammates skate. Call it bad luck. Of course it's not all bad luck, but there are some on here that think it virtually means nothing. 

    Loss in first round of tourney against BU... outplayed them and bad luck on the offside call that legit led to a rule change. Loss to Duluth in 5OT, carried all OTs, IMO, had several unfortunate bounces not go in, pipes, shots bouncing off goalie onto the top of the net, etc. The first three goals for Michigan, none of them bounced our way.

    Absolutely doesn't tell the entire story, but some tout that 1 win since 2016 thing like UND is getting destroyed in the tournament since 2016. Each loss has been in OT or what happened against Michigan, a one goal game with three awful bounces/bad luck. I'd argue we played better in all of those games and didn't get enough bounces. I'm saying that we've had a crap ton of unfortunate stuff happen over the past several years in the tournament. It's not a controversial take, IMO

    If we don’t go down 2-0 to Duluth and need two empty net goals to get to overtime the game should have ended I regulation. If the team plays the third against Michigan like the first two periods and doesn’t get out shot 15-1 in the first ten minutes maybe we move on, common denominator of all these bad luck losses is the head coach. He changed assistant coach and broght  Karl in , better powerplay same post season results. I think this head coach has to take some blame for his record, great in the regular season not so much in the post season.

    Good news doesn't happen here anymore. If Berry and company can't sell the program, then we are in big trouble now and in the future. I am tired of playing second fiddle to other programs.

    Hey we win the Penrose , the NCAA’s are overrated any way

    UND had last change Friday night. Berry controlled matchups.
    So why juggle the lines when you can put out your choice against McGroarty et al. 

    It's like Berry was reacting when he should've been driving/controlling. 

    Or were we more hurt/ill than we were led on. 

    Thought is was very weird to change lines for this game , and if Gaber is dinged up why put him on the checking line with Jammer. Things that make you go hmmmmmm.
