SIOUXELEVENS

This team has zero intensity, can’t hold a lead and at time look like the don’t care. Maybe Berry should ask his mentors , Hak and Blais because this wouldn’t fly very long with those guys. North Dakota where good players go to become mediocre.

Why should he be though, the head coach has the systems and which style he wants to play and it’s up to the assist’s to implement those and if their not working the head coach needs to change, Berry can’t even change his pojst game comments , culture, working hard, trust the process , blah blah. No fire from the coach, not ready, on the coach. How long before the teams who draft players start pulling them early or not letting them come at all? Hoff, Mismash, Kawaguchi etc all were scorers before they came here now they all struggle, what the common denominator?

I agree with Goon, 1st year on his five year extension. My question after last year why did we give him a five year deal? Coach Berry we weren’t completely thrilled with your season but here is a five year extension, WTF? I know in my job if I have a terrible year I sure don’t see that. But I think you will see Shaw fall on the sword and move on, the if it doesn’t change next season you may see some kind of agreement to move on.

Hennessy has to keep his job, don’t rock the boat.

No way UND has the $ to buy out 4 years of Berry’s contract

First rule of holes , when you realize your in one quit digging.

Wow, just wow

Reiger >Shaw

I think someone is pulling somebodies chain.

Just speculating , easy to blame other things then say the buck stops here and I need to fix it. I hope he pulls his head out of the sand or we could be looking a a down turn for a few years.

All these things you bring up are issues that the head coach can control or fix, but will he.Maybe he thinks he is doing fine and it’s outside influences affecting the team.Berry is in the first year of an extension so he’s not going anywhere.

We all know it was already, this team had to go to OT twice to beat the worst team in our league.

We can throw out what ever we think is the issue or solution, Berry is in the first year of a five year extension he is going no where. His team had been in the bottom of league scoring for two years, that is a trend and the head coach has to realize that something he is doing is not working. Maybe change up one or both of the assist. and/or change the offensive scheme, you can’t win every game 1-0 or 2-1 you gots to score to win. Alot of these players have been scorers in juniors let’s figure out how to bring that back out. It’s great to be good defensively and to have possession numbers but you have to out “score” teams to win.

With the margins so slim last year and with all the ties Jost was worth at least a point a game which probably swing at least one of those games.

And a D man was our leading scorer last year, I think in Berry’s system the d men have free reign but he hamstrings the Howard’s to dump and chase and cycle along the boards.

They can’t score goals so why not change up the lines, if it’s broken fix it, that’s what coaches do.

Haven’t played well in two years doubt two weeks is going to change much, Berry is steering then Exxon Valdez now.

We are not doing this because of two games, two seasons is a trend and the people who are paying to watch do not like what we are paying for.

Lol

Thus is like beating a dead horse but all these forwards who scored in juniors don’t just lose their touch. I believe whatever the coaching staff is bringing to the table is holding these guys back, where is the creativity ? I think if Berry stays he needs to change his approach all the way around and we all know how easy it is for a leopard to change its spots.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ this is spot on

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Just look at our lines, our offensive schemes, same as last year.

If Berry believes in “culture and tradition” he would do the right thing. As another poster said he has lost this team/locker room. We don’t know all the crap that goes on but if some of the stuff that went on last year with all the infighting and crap. Berry should step down. Maybe Jost saw what was going on and helped him make his decision ? The tail cannot wag the dog, Berry preaches this program is bigger then one person, prove it.

Streak breaker still going strong, maybe a losing record streak starting.

It’s the coaches job to keep the players focused and on task. Berry seems to want to be their friends not the head coach.
