I worry he might be too nice of a guy, its one thing to be a volunteer assistant but an assistant coach is going to require a little more tough love. Hopefully, he has what it takes to find that balance. Best of luck Karl, I sure hope you can help out in positive ways and compliment the other coaches.

I like Karl, hope he does well. Didn’t expect this hire and not sure about it but he is the new assistant so let’s hope for the best.

I like Smaby but I am not sure how much of a recruiter or how well he will work with the special teams. Although no mention of special teams requirements from the job description.

What crap selections. Come on Super Chex.

I swear it only happens at UND where a coach leaves to take a D3 position. Good grief.

If he is anything like his dad he will be fun to watch.

Haha. He does have an eerie resemblance to Mr. Bean.

Like I was saying.

Not if that Assistant in the NCAA is a good path to a HC in the NCAA. I would assume with the right program they would make more and have more exposure than in the AHL.

They better stomp on them and leave no doubt.

What are others thoughts on maybe someone like Rico Blasi? I know he was a HC but do you think he will just step into another HC position? I know it would be a huge pay cut for him. Who knows what his other options are at this point.

Haha, I knew that would catch someone's attention. It was more in jest then anything else. Because he knew how to score!!!

No disrespect but no to Karl G and no to Smaby. They are both fine people but need more time in the coaching ranks. We need a solid recruiter as well. Eades will never be back at UND. I am not sure who the best option would be but I could see maybe Mannino. As was mentioned it would be nice to see a large search take place and not just friends, alumni. Anyone know what Tony Hrkus is doing these days?

I think I agree with that.

UND will be looking for a new Assistant Coach, Matt Shaw out at UND.

Matt Shaw out as Assistant coach at UND. Berry is listening.

I still have no idea how Shaw can still be employed. Instead of our power play getting slightly better over the years it has progressively gotten worse. Either he needs to be let go or have someone else manage the power play.

Congrats to Duluth, they earned it.

Clearly Duluth is benefiting from NCHC conference play. Taking it to UMASS right now

You're gonna get lit if that's the case.

Well best of luck to both teams, they both deserve to be here. I sure hope we see UND back here in the next year or so. I am talking to you Brad Berry!

Duluth has been far too lucky for this long. I think their luck runs out today. I could be wrong but how many 1 goal games can you play and win, the law of averages has to strike tonight.

Well this is pretty close to check mate.

Didn't know him personally but any Sioux fan is a good person in my book and my condolences to his family.
