SIOUXELEVENS

So 19-22-14 had 17 points in the last three games why weren’t they together on Friday? lines for Friday I would like to see 14-22-19 16-25-29 8-9-18 10-11-26

Or Berry changes it.

Agree Adams is at least noticeable out there.

So why would Adams even stay with this team , guys like simonson and Olson get second line minutes and he is a healthy scratch for a D man who isn’t in the top six. The coach who is making this lineups had his head up some where. Adams need a to be on a line with guys who can skate.

2-2 tie

What happened to the team from oct-Nov that got up and down the ice playing fast playing hard

How many quality shots ?

Looking at the standings right now we could end up in seventh, seventh!!!!! that would be cool to go to Denver for the first round. Next year no 14, no 19 (maybe) and no 24 pretty bleak IMO.

If most of these players were working for most companies they would have gotten their walking papers for poor performance. But let’s look at these players, Adams, Mismash etc all we’re touted recruits out of juniors and now all of a sudden they all all duds? Hmmmm what is the theme here? Just keep switching lines , putting 19 on Simos line wtf. Before Gardner was hurt 22-14-19 were a dominant line so 22 comes back and put 25 on that line , makes no sense. 0-6 on the power play against a very poor PK that’s on Shaw. Berry better figure this out fast because an empty Ralph does not spell long term job security. In 2016 he had lots of players who could lead and hold other players accountable, Berry needs to coach not have a kumbaya culture. We all could not believe Monty calling out his players but he seems to get results, be a head coach not their buddy.

So why did it take till the end of the game to put 22-19-14 back together , naw just give 10-26-11 double shifts. If it’s not working change something. Nope just keep rolling four lines like you got a 5 goal lead, if the Ralph keeps looking less and less full no choice but to put coach Berry’s job on the line

Why is Berry in love with the Simonson line they do absolutely nothing with the puck

Didn’t seem to work as we gave up an odd man rush with 2 d out there. Do you play to win or just stop the other team? # 24 is like having a foward out there. I think two F and one D is how you should play.

Thome will be a good goalie but he is also the same guy who was overplaying shots and sliding out of position. Cam has issues as all goalies do but he has earned his playing time. Thome gave up 4 on Friday and 5 on sat in Denver. People have to have a goat , Brian Lee , people though he was worse then a bag of pucks but he had a great career in the nhl and played very well when he was here. He isn’t physical enough blah blah blah. Every year they pick one and he becomes their wipping boy. All those young men give in all for North Dakota and we should show support for all of them.

If Berry can’t put 4 lines together stack three and let them go, no shots until four minutes left wtf

Unfortunately Smith will sit a game, last night was a five but the one in Denver should not have been. Big question is how does Berry react to having his go to line broken up.(and yes he had not been suspended yet but with Monty screaming and you could hear it on CBS it’s the same fnnnn guy)

# 10 single handedly killed numerous odd man rushs for his own team , someone brought up lack of puck skills and he should be the poster boy, one that sticks out is a three one one and he passes it behind the streaking player to kill it, great penalty killer and energy guy but not a top three center.

I say we go 7-3 our last ten and st least get Home ice.

Simonson is a great fourth line center, kill penalties and give some energy while out there.

Or Berry becomes the next Rube Bjorkman. One flaw I see is he gives big ice time to guys who don’t score 10-26-11, they are a great 4th line but the should not get top six minutes or power play minutes. Yes I know 26 went on a run before Xmas but when you need a goal is this the line we really need on the ice. Maybe Berry is too much of a players coach, this team might need some tough love.

This team just does not play well as a team,some good individual efforts buts that’s it

Berry has a long leash, but the assistants maybe not.

Maybe Berry’s 16 season was more a product of players and not coaching.

Score?

But game time he never adjusts unless they gab an injury, sometimes you need to adjust on the fly.

What’s up with our last two head coaches , things are going bad how about switching up the lines , run with the nine forwards who want to play and two d and run it like that, status quo doesn’t work all the time.
