    Early Departures 2016 Edition

    I hope he has an extremely successful career. Sucks seeing him go, but like others have said, he has literally nothing left for him in the college game. With all the draft picks on the ice each night, he was still the best player more often than not. Good luck Troy. I hate the Canucks, but like the Flyers, I'll be watching and cheering you on.

    How is this related to his injury?

    It wouldn't be necessarily related to the injury, but if he hasn't been attending class, then that means he won't be back next fall, and the injury question was posed in a manner that it (the injury) may keep him here. 

    I don't know these guy's classroom habits, but anyone that's been skipping the spring semester means they are gone.

    FACT: Berry delivered number 8.  Something Hakstol didn't do in 7 or 8 Frozen fours.

    I guess those of us who felt it was time for a change of coach have a different definition of success.  I'm amazed in reading all these posts that Hakstol  gets more credit for winning this year's natty than Berry does.  Look, we all want success for our hockey team but why is everyone so afraid of what will happen to our program without Hakstol.?

    It was successful before him and so far it is successful after him.  

    Way to twist my words buddy. Now granted, I'll admit I wasn't a fan during the early 2000's, when most of you seem to be so upset, but I look at many of Hakstol's teams as overachievers. Pony Express year was the last time I felt a team really should have won it. Is that game on Hakstol or the potent offense that didn't score a goal? From then on, strictly overachieving teams. Even last year, could they have won a championship, absolutely, but you can't tell me that when you lose your best offensive threat that it isn't going to hurt at some point. Then to have your Mike Richter Award winning goalie self destruct, but according to the haters, that's Hakstol's fault.

    I love that we have a championship, and I'm not saying it's either continued success or a championship here or there like you implied with the quote, but how quickly are you going to turn on Berry if he doesn't have the regular season success? How quickly will you turn on him if we don't make the NCAA tournament every year? I'm going to say it won't be long.

    Yeah, IIRC he threw UND under the bus a bit a few months ago for his development.

    I wouldn't call it throwing UND under the bus. He more or less stated the college game wasn't for him. At least that was the way I took it.

    I heard that as well and just wondered if he meant until that point, or if it was a slip on his part because he knows LJ is leaving.

    For what it's worth, I've heard a lot of chatter from pretty connected people, at least to LJ, that he would be gone after this season.

    As far as Cam, he would be smart to strike while the iron is hot if he's getting real offers. Let's not pretend than playing in front of an NHL quality defense didn't probably inflate his stats this season. Next year's defense could be a question mark if we lose what is looking to be a real possibility this off season.

    My personal opinion is that with Boeser staying, that would incline Schmaltz to stay also. His brother playing all year in the A probably isn't reassuring to him either. I'd bet money he's back.

    Thompson almost left last year, I think he probably thinks he's ready, although watching this season, he's probably the least trustworthy defenseman outside freshman.

    I agree on the "here we go again" part. I call bs on anyone who denies it didn't cross their mind even if just fleetingly when Denver tied it up.

    With that said, it is obvious no side is going to win this discussion. Should all just agree to disagree and continue celebrating that UND won the national title!

    I was firmly on the here we go again thought process, but still hopeful. I didn't post anything on the forum though (who has time for that?). Anyway, I nearly laughed when Denver iced that puck with a minute to go. Like I said before, I looked at my wife and said this is karma coming back around. Sure enough, 4 seconds later we were up one with less than a minute to go.

    I know its the last thing on anyone's mind but at some point we will need to discuss who we think and who has signed early. Kind of a scary thought and I just want to enjoy the championship for a while before we hear anyone leaving early.

    Unfortunately, I think we see a lot of faces gone over the summer. My worst case thoughts are Cam, Brock, Nick, Luke, Paul, and Stecher. I think we see Tucker for one more year. Cam will strike while the iron is hot and he has a lot of hype.

    Good post, up until the end.  You just had to throw that last stupid comment in there, didn't you?

    He does every time. He won't post all season long until after the season is over, then takes nothing but pot shots at Hakstol to troll. His last sentence tells me that he would be absolutely fine having this program go the Duluth route following this title. Not to take anything away from Berry, he was behind the bench for a young team that was able to accomplish the ultimate goal, but in reality this is Hakstol's team. He picked the recruits, maybe Berry helped with getting them here, but it reminds me of the early 2000's when Tony Dungy coached the buccaneers. He built the team, took them to the NFC championship game, lost, was replaced by Jon Gruden, who then won the Super Bowl with the same team. I love that Berry got us over the hump, but will it be worth it if we don't continue the success we've had the last 15 years?

     

    And again, he loves to bust on a guy that went straight to the NHL, possibly coach of the year, and turned a franchise around in one year into a playoff team when absolutely no one expected them to be there. Yeah, awful coach.???

    On a night as great as this. You're still a douche. I'll take my temporary ban if need be to call you on it. Always lurking to pounce at the slightest sign of trouble. Didn't get the opportunity, so you're going to go after arguably the NHL coach of the year. You must be a real treat in person.
