    Per Schlossman's article, the players had a player-only meeting after the game last night.  I seem to remember that happening a few years ago.  I can't remember the specific year, but I remember Grimaldi making some comments about the total honesty regarding teammates calling each other out about their need to step up, etc..  Hopefully this team responds post-meeting like that team did.  It really was a turning point in that season.

    Why does this have to happen every to every other year? It gets old, same with the slow starts. How is it that other good teams figure it out day one and not half way through the year.

    There are some quote I don't agree with, one being from Berry.

    Quote

    "I thought we battled and competed," Berry said. "The players did a lot of what we asked of them—blocked shots and competed and played a 60-minute timeframe. Obviously, we were short a goal to win the game, but for the most part they played the way we wanted them to and with the effort we needed."

    They didn't show up at all this weekend except for one part of the third in Fridays game. Berry needs to stop with the "coach talk" and come out and say they lost to a bad team and looked past Michigan State, and thought Michigan State was a easy win.

    This from Wolanin.

    "It's not that we're young. It's not that we have no leaders. It's just a mindset we have to develop."

    So where are these leaders? Because I haven't seen them yet. If the guys with letters on their jerseys don't want to lead then give it to someone who does.

    I don't think we hang #8 in April if Berry is too much of a players coach. I think this is just a very young team trying to figure out how to win at this level. I remember the 2005-06 team looking worse than this early on and look where they ended up.

    They are 15 games into the season, the "we have a young team" excuse doesn't apply anymore. Just like the underclassmen excuse, Sophomores are not undreclassmen to me they where here last year so they know how to get it done.

  3. All three goals Cam should have had, yes the second goal was because of a turnover but if Cam doesn't slide out of his net it's not a goal. At some point Berry needs to send the message to Cam that replaced when he doesn't stop the shots he should have had. Right now Cam knows no matter how he plays he will not be pulled or one of the others will get a start.

    It doesn't look like these guys don't watch tape to see the mistakes they make over and over. Passing is terrible, forcing the puck to someone, trying to make fancy passes, and shooting when a pass is the better option.

    I don't know if Berry is a players coach, but after this weekend time to be a hard ass, this is an embarrassment and a joke.

    I feel that there needs to be a change in the D-pairings put the Poolmans together and Saw or Wolanin with Gage.

    Right now this team should feel embarrassed. Time to figure it out because playing bad now can make you miss the NCAA's at the end of the year.
