    Does anyone with any connections know if Berry "gets it" at all?  It is so hard to judge from the coachspeak and softballs from Schlossman and Hennesy.  At some point he needs to concede that big changes are needed.  If he can't see that then all may be lost until he leaves.

    I would like to know that as well, it’s the the emperors new clothes, you look wonderful, every thing is cool. But if you judge him by his lines ups he does not get it at all.

    Its beyond comprehension to be this pathetic offensively.  Shaw should get fired on Monday.  Berry should be informed that he has one year to prove worthy to keep his job.

    Who is in charge? Unless Berry treats his asst. coach’s like his players, well the effort is there but bad puck luck , hot goalie etc.  The power play, penalties klll etc are set by the head coach and the asst. implement them. If something’s not  working Berry needs to fix them and he has not shown that ability in the last two years to adjust anything. Chaves needs to put the fear of god in him,  you fix this or I will. I fear Berry has us on a very slippy slope and we haven’t bottomed out yet.

  3. So if you were a foward and you looked at our systems and how Berry runs his line ups would you commit here? Let’s keep putting the 8-9 D man out as a foward. Look at our commits, yes we have some good ones coming next year but after that it looks pretty thin, but hey and least he takes local boys even if they can’t play D1.

    I can empathize with a lot of your points, but this is college hockey.  You just named three underclassmen.  Yes, each of them should have WAY better numbers and I do believe the vanilla/bland ozone strategy is mind-numbing to watch (as everything flows through the dmen), but they are underclassmen.  In this day and age, if you're only relying on underclassmen to produce you have a colossal team makeup problem.

    I’m not blaming the players, they need  to be put into situations where they can be successful. putting out eggs in the incoming freshman pockets doesn’t sound like the recipe for success so we are going to need our juniors to step up their game.

  5. Two years in a  row being in the bottom of the league In scoring and PP % is a trend and Berry needs to address this. The puck luck and hot goalie excuse is worn out, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity. Adams was a scorer in the USHL, Weatherby in the BCHL and Mismash with the USDT. Berry needs to find a system That balances his defensive strategy with an offense that scores more than 1 goal a game. If he has a third year like the last two he may become unemployed.

    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.

  7. 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.
