SIOUXELEVENS

I believe he puts all the forward names in a hat a draws names for lines.

I sure hope so , the last two years have not been old time Sioux hockey.

Yes I know we have but bringing new players into a system that may stifle their talent would be counter productive to bringing a influx of talent.

I don’t believe our system gives much creativity to the fowards, Berry needs to change the focus if we are to score more the 1-2 goals a game on avg.

Systems, systems, systems

I would also like to offer a pre-apology before the run.

Mostvof us are used to the hockey team playing better after Xmas and the last three years they have not, what’s the difference, Berry. Coach Berry was here for that so he should know what got the boys going after Xmas , so does he not know how to motivate or doesn’t want too.

I’m sure schedules are set a few years in advance so may be tough to get every team we would like to see. Also the meat grinder which is the NCHC regular season some cupcakes sprinkled in can’t hurt.

Some of those games even though the score was close the team was not.

I hope your right , I just want a team that is competitive in every game.

I think Bowen would be better as a wing and with like speed , Johnson and yon are out of their league.

I understand but it’s just so frustrating to be a fan and a season ticket holder since the early nineties and watching this team just go through the motions, IMHO.

We do suck and it’s seems like the emperor is walking around nude and people are telling him how great his clothes are. Berry needs to right the ship and if he can’t/won’t then move on and let someone else. Even sitting through Gino’s last years didn’t feel this bad, this team is hard to watch

If we keep playing like this most of the freshman won’t make it to be juniors.

Adams is going to be s player if they find the right players to go with him. Not sure if our coaching staff gets what it takes to be competitive, playing rope a dope will not get it done, score two and sit on a lead. If Berry can’t adapt time to move on, no reason St. Cloud , Denver or Duluth should be better then us , with our facilities, resources and most of all “culture”

Should have stayed on the couch.

Maybe our coaching staff is underperforming hmmmmm.

This team winning 6-7 games in a row is a big stretch. Reality set in after Xmas, this team is not going any where but golfing.

And replace Hoff with Jones if he comes back, I like those lines.

I believe Berry is very high on D responsibility and this maybe the system is designed around it. The D men are very solid but the forwards struggle and seem handicapped with this system. Maybe Wilkie was a little weak defensively but we could have used his offense this year.

Maybe Bowen, st least he has the speed to keep up with those two, or maybe Hoff , but at least think about the lines. We can’t win every game 1-0 or 2-1 they need to score

My big question is if #22 is a great defensive forward why is he top six? He should center a heavy line to shut down the others teams top line, Adams and Kawaguchi should be on a line with a player of similar speed and someone who creates offense.

I think half the time these players could give two shits, what repercussions are there? Not like Berry will bench anybody. Lots of .players should be looking at doing something different next year. If Berry can’t see it’s not working maybe he needs to get out of coaching.

What I really hate about the last two years is the media spouting off about stats that don’t matter, wins are what will move the needle. Don’t care how good #22 is in the face off dot he doesn’t score, can’t assist scoring and has taken stupid penalties his whole career. We outshoot teams 2-1 but still lose. The last two years we have been last in the league in scoring and almost last in PP %. Berry commenting last night his team need wasn’t ready to go and a senior capt. Putting you down two men twice and giving up two goals. This is 100% on Berry, it’s ok fellas no matter what we do coach lets us play, this is not parkboard hockey where everyone gets to play. No discipline, no consistent intensity and terrible effort at times. Run three lines if guys don’t want to hustle, Senden could double shift on my team. Berry hasn’t shown anything the last two years and doubt he will change his attitude for next year, while the culture crumbled around him.

If we are expecting this team to win 8 games in a row I think someone is delusional.
