This is where I see Adams leaving much like WIlkie and Murphy in the past due to playing time and who could blame him when #5 keeps getting trotted out there for a regular shift and was inserted onto the first PP unit! I think Adams must have killed Berry's dog or something as I thought he had one of his best games Friday night in Colorado Springs and the next night he's the 19th skater and the following Friday a healthy scratch. Someone with offensive upside on a team with ZERO scoring punch the past two years and continuously is a healthy scratch.
With you on this, Berry's line ups are drawing names from a hat.
-
Attitude, preparation and effort can and should be controlled by the head coach. We will see if Berry can turn this around or do we have these same talks about scoring and specialty teams next year.

So this year is still going but what does Berry need to improve on for next year, he’s not going anywhere soon so does he have the ability to change and improve? I think he needs to rethink his offensive schemes even with more talent he needs to tweak this. How does he motivate and install some discipline in the team. This team has shown flashes of being very good but also playing down to the competition ie Canisius/Bemidji. Does he start holding players accountable, does he improve the specialty teams? Can he do this with the current staff? I believe mr Berry needs to do some offseason soul searching to find these answers. This team will not win every game will all know that but they should be way more competitive from start to finish then they are. He has lots of resources and hopefully the ability to turn this around. He can also bounce things off his mentors, Blais, Hak and any former coaches . This was not a fun year to be a ND fan but it’s not over yet either.

Well, for starters, Berry’s system wins far fewer games and doesn’t make NCAA tournaments...
A much more simplistic look.

This is just my opinion but Berry’s system focuses on the D men, cycle cycle then back to the D men for s shot. Other teams take everything to the net we kick it back to our defense, on the power play they do this also. When have we worked it down low on the power play ? There has to be a reason these players come in and just lose their scoring touch.

Yup, spot on. Tonight's game a microcosm of the whole season. Tons of shots on goal but only like 1 goal after 30 shots while UNO ties it up on like only 12 shots (luckily that one shot they had 1st period went off the post). How does this proud hockey program with it's recruiting, facilities, etc. have a team with such lack-luster finishing/goal scoring/offensive creativity that equates to a Yugo? So sick of it when programs such as Mia, Neb-O, CC, W. MIch, etc. have more offensively skilled players than we do? It boggles my mind. Just so frustrated after these last 2 - 3 seasons.
Been saying it for awhile, all these players don’t just forget how to score, Berry’s system where D men lead the team in shots and score more goals then the fowards is handicapping their creativity, along with some very poor lineups.

Been saying that Berry is just too nice a guy to be head coach, most penalized team , worst power play and in the bottom of the league in scoring the past two years.

I just turned on the Minnesota Michigan game, i’ve never seen the mariuchi so empty, or it’s a lot of fans dressed as seats!
Looks like about fifty die hard fans.

And people wonder why fans are calling for a change.

No Adams, but Yon, Johnson get spots. WTF.
-
So you can do whatever cause they can’t bench me, seems like the teams attitude.
-
Maybe if we start out slow which we have been prone to do , shorten the bench roll three lines , bench people when they deserve it ( Rhett on sat. Vs Duluth) and maybe decline penalties , just kidding on this last one.

I truly believe Berry has no idea what drives or motivates his team, clueless in his post game comments.

This team plays like they are in poker tournament and playing with house money, no cause for concern, not a care in the world.
if a senior captain can keep playing though he was responsible for 4 goals in the last three games for lack of discipline I don’t hold much hope that they can bear down and get it down.
-
2 in a row is not happening right now, so five in a row may be impossible for this team.

This should be a one and done , my god who does this line up and says this is the best we can do? It seems Berry is so infatuated with local players it’s clouding his vision, I would like the best players playing and don’t care where their from. Bowen, Yon and Johnson wouldn’t play for most D 1 teams yet two are on our first line. I see Gardner got splinters last night after taking another dumb penalty.
Say what you will we need a real head coach not an assistant dressing up as one.

If JBD leaves what message does that send to the other recruits out there?
-
I believe they get a small discount on next years ticket package.

How much is it going to hurt financially to not host a first round series?
This^^^^^^^^^^
maybe the only reason changes will be made( not head coach) but in the staff.
