Geno left most recruiting duties to his assistants.It’s no surprise recruiting took a nose dive when Dean Blais and John Marks left; culminating in 3 sub .500 seasons a few years later (early 90s)
Just curious does Berry leave the recruiting to his assistants also?

I wish I knew how to do that. Sorry @NDSU82.
Not to rub it in, but it was a good interview. Gino said that the '82 team was the toughest team he ever coached.
Gino is a great example of a coach who understood the types of players he had to bring in to have a winning team. We are in a different era and I think Berry needs to rethink his recruiting.

This is truth.
Karl hung around and learned from the TBL system and Jon Cooper.
Brad hung around CBJ and WPG and Scott Arniel.
Not the same.I see Karl as our future. I think he would take us to the next level.

Ever think UND and the Ralph put a LOT of pressure on these players to "PERFORM" when there's a big "reunion" of alums or destination fans? That undermines the program or at least the future of it imo
SO SORRY you went to Nashville or Vegas - spent a lot of money and the team "RUINED IT" when they lost after you partied your drunk ass-off and had "slightly" less than a great time. F*ck you? YES - Blame the team? okay...they had the skates on and lost - ask them.
It's great to recognize old players and teams. EXPECTING the current team will RISE to the occasion and WIN just for the alums and (again) the drunk fans also doesn't help the bigger picture of why we don't have a better hockey team. It's just more sh*t they have to deal with rather than trying to better HOCKEY players.
Maybe we should get a team of hockey players who do care about these things. Tradition and carrying on the lineage of the past players have built.

Probably - but according to the "Bubba Extension Factor" put forward by our AD there is absolutely no pressure to produce a winner. Look at the overall state of UND athletics and I can't remember a time when things were worse overall.
Most likely football makes playoffs

I agree with this a 100%.
And then can we get a high end goalie on campus. Since Adam Scheel we haven’t had a goalie recruit to the caliber of this freshman call. Since Karl is an assistant who is a goalie coach, hopefully he can get a USNTDP or high end Canadian goalie at some point.
Karl is on a different level as Bubs as far as hockey IQ. Karl is a hockey savant.

The team needs to quit having their team meetings at Joe Blacks during happy hour.

Pairwise free fall if this score stands
Can I predict the post game press conference. Their goalie was red hot, we always gets every teams best game, we need to play a full 60. Hack always said too many passengers on the bus. Can Carl be coach now please.

Boy they’re in a pickle now. Need to get two by the end of the period
3 goal lead is the worst lead in hockey. Just saying but our team sucks though currently. 3 goals seems like Mt Everest.

Everyone wants to keep calling out the def. On Sat night how many pucks got turned over in the neutral zone by fwds or fwds flying the zone without full control of the puck. All 5 players have to play accountable in the d zone first.
Last year Denver was in almost the exact same position as we are right now. They were able to right the ship and hopefully if our coaching staff can get some stability to our line combos we will also be able to right our ship.

Pairing 9 & 22 with more responsible defensive players just enables irresponsible defensive play by them. Put them on a line along with 26 and force them to grow their game defensively.
The offensive upside is definitely there if they can grow their defensive game and play 200 feet.

We already have enough def issues. 22-9 are -11 for the season. Fwds have to be responsible in the def zone as well as defensemen.

I just don't know who's going to sustain play on this line. James has shown a little bit of the "getter" mentality, but not consistently. Blake, McLaughlin, and Hainer, maybe?
McLaughlin's vision along with Blake's slipperiness in tight. James would have to show some grit but I would like to see this line combo. Hain imo belngs with Senden and Jammer.

At the very least, the bottom 2 lines should be set in stone as Senden-Jammer-Hain and Albrecht-Ness-Portz. That gives the forwards a solid defensive foundation (if they play to potential) who can play against any line.
It's a total waste to bring someone like Senden back and play him in a role he's not suited to play (like with McLaughlin and Gaber saturday). Hell, it wouldve been better to keep Adam Calder instead.
I am all for the all freshman line also. Blake Mclaughlin and james. They would imo create a lot of offense.

Senden hasn’t played like he used to since the Saturday night game against the Gophers. Something is really out of whack with these guys right now.
Senden is much more at home on the shut down line. Last season the Savoie line went 0 for the series in our building. Put Senden back in his comfort zone which imo is playing shut down with Hain and Jammer and capitalizing on mistakes by the other teams top line.

Berry drawing up line combos…
Here's my take on lines. I think barring injuries we go back to Senden Hain and Jammer as our shutdown line, Ness Albrecht and Portz on a line, Blake Mclaughlin and James on an all frosh line and lastly Schmaltz Gaber Caufield (possibly Kunz or Constanteni) and stick with the same lineup and let them get some chemistry instead of making wholesale line changes every week. I can't take all these line changes every single week. The players are probably frustrated and they're playing like they're frustrated. No chemistry and it's the coaches fault for making all these lineup changes every fricken series. I know we have talent. More than last year I think. Skate the piss out of the team too cause they look out of shape.

Every game Berry puts all the forwards names in a hat and draws the line combinations for that game. I imagine Senden is getting frustrated. Last year his line completely shut down DUs top line all weekend and this year he’s playing with 2 completely different players. Some lines work and senden hain jammer works so does ness albrecht portz.
Having a shutdown line like Sendens helps to give your better offensive players more favorable matchups

Albrecht portz ness was another good line last year so Bubs gets cute and busts them up
Buns can take his cute line combos and go stand in the unemployed coaches line with all the other coaches who love cute crap every game

Last year the Senden Hain Jammer line shut down Savois line so Bubs breaks up that line. Why does bibs try to be so cute with his lines. Put a freshman line together because we do have some talented freshmen. Bubs needs to quit being cute and get back to our meat and potatoes a good Senden shutdown line
