    I'll grant you that.  Yes.  

    UND's OL losses shouldn't break the offense like our OL losses did after the spring season.  This time around, there is tons of time to find OL transfers to come in and contribute.  I understand that you said it "might" break the offense, not that it "will" break the offense, however.  Coaching staff needs to hit on some OL and Defensive transfers this offseason, and I'm not super confident yet that they will.  

    Unlike many teams our O line recruiting has been very talented and deep. Yea I’m worried about replacing starters with guys who have never played but I think we have a full stable of guys that can step up! O line recruiting has been one of our biggest strengths!

    my biggest concerns are still on the defensive side. I think our secondary can step up but are our d line and linebackers ready to step up? Is it scheme? Either way I hope we have it figured out

    What kind of questions do you ask? I doubt he'd say that Berry would be in any trouble if Bubba was given an extension.  I am more concerned about the state of the football program. Think about this, our O-Cordinaro, a UND grad left for a conference foe.  We lost his replacement to NDSU. This program is a dumpster fire. We can’t win anywhere but at home. That concerns me more. 

    Yet UND Football still makes the playoffs just to go one and done. That’s all we expect from our top programs………

    All the coaching concerns are tied to $$$$$$. Why stay at UND when you can get more money to leave? We should be more worried about the state of the defense. The defensive performance last year was horrendous and I haven’t seen any changes to how they are going to fix that.

    It says they plan to announce within the year what they are doing with land. That was 2 years ago.   Did they ever announce anything?  The new fargo hospital was built along interstate.... 

    future is expansion once GF grows big enough for 2 full size hospitals

    I wasn’t that concerned about the OL going into next year. Now I am… 

    Offense wasn’t a concern but now I guess we can add them to a list

    Cam Johnson said he saw everything that was written about him. There's that. 

    Should individual players be called out for their performance? No, but it’s going to happen if you actually have a fanbase that cares enough to go on a message board. Some of the criticism is out of line but some really isn’t. They could have proved me wrong down the stretch by playing better defense and back checking harder but I guess they rather just prove me right…….

    And in two years, some of the fans here would be calling for that coach to be fired, too. You can bank on it. 

    We went through this every year Hak was coach, too. Before Hak left I went on Jared Thomas’s show and he asked how long before the program fires him, and moves on from Hakstol? I said, Hak will move on at time of his choosing. Which he did. 

    I said, “the university isn't going to fire him.“

    Just for the record, players and their families read the message board. 

    Regardless on how the season ended, I'll follow them no matter what happens. I’d be more upset with the current state of the football and basketball programs than hockey. 

    Players and their parents shouldn’t read any fan board. Same goes for any sport football, basketball, etc. That’s player orientation 101.
     

    What a waste of their time unless we really are the experts we all claim to be and maybe they should listen. Easy way to deal with criticism is to not read it!

    And replace him with who? I hang up and listen. 

    Berry isn’t the best coach in the country, he is replaceable. We could get any of the top coaches in the country to come to UND and make a top salary with the top facilities in the country. Berry could leave tomorrow for the NHL and many of us would be elated.

    Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, BC, BU. Every blue blood except Denver. Teams with an embarrassment of talent, riches and advantages. And all with a longer period of natty futility than UND, an apparent washed up has been.

    Shut them down. They should be ashamed of themselves.

    All teams who have had more success than UND in the past 8 years. Also all of those teams except maybe the bostons have fanbases that could care less about hockey. UND needs to get back to winning playoff games before we can ever expect to win a championship again……..

    I was one who wanted Hak out.

    I still believe that had he stayed on as coach there would not have been a Natty.

    Call it bad luck, a hot goalie, but something ALWAYS got in the way of a Title.

     

    I never called for Hak’s head once. He had us as a top team in the country every year. Can the same be said for Berry? No. We may not be buying Berry out but if he can’t make major changes we need to move on!

    I don't live anywhere near GF, so I don't know the kinds of questions the local media asks Berry after a loss. Do Schlossman or Hennessy ask him tough questions & does Berry ever take responsibility when they lose a game? Or is it a big circle jerk?

    One question I would very much want asked of Berry: "What are you going to do differently next year to get the team ready for the playoffs so you avoid another early exit?" Seems simple enough & Berry's answer would be very telling about where his mindset is at.

    Schlossman won’t ever address the elephant in the room. He wouldn’t even go on Dom Izzo’s Hot Mic show for a season wrap up . Did the Powers not let Brad go back on because they don’t want Dom to ask the obvious glaring questions we all want addressed. Soft as the Fargo media is on Fargo football!

    DU with the textbook game plan to beat BU.  Executed very well.

    Gotta admit that's well played.

    Luck , good coaching had nothing to do with it. Got lucky in all 3 of their games.

    I mean, everyone can have an opinion, but saying Blake didn't show up in the playoffs is pretty easily refuted with real stats lol.

    Yeah I didn’t do any actual fact finding research to come to that misinformed opinion. I missed his assists in the frozen faceoff game. I didn’t even consider the Miami series as part of the playoffs. My feelings from the playoffs weren’t backed by facts. I just wished this team would have stepped up and tied it up to those Michigan goals.

    Don't confuse Sioux> with the facts Stoney. He's our version of LakesBison and DrunkHockeyGuy. He has an opinion on everything, usually negative and always unsupported by a factual or evidentiary basis. 

    Wow that’s kind of an honor to be held to such high accord as Lakes. I’ve finally made it to where people actually know who I am and actually read my posts!

    Ludvig shoveling the puck into Pehrson's skate which deflected it into our own goal didn't help either. 

    Not putting that goal on Pehrson. Such a weird situation to be in. I’m not one to blame goaltending for either tournament loss this year. We should have responded instead of fading away.

    Ha!  I LOL'd at this.  :D
    You think they're not liking his development into a NCHC player of the year and Hobey Hat-Trick finalist?  :) ;) 

    Yup same guy who was non existent in the playoffs. Wouldn’t know a hobey baker finalist was on the team if you had just tuned in for the playoffs. Will Blake be as memorable of a player for years to come like the other UND superstars? Not for me. Carolina obviously wants to sign him regardless otherwise he’s gone. 
     

    I did misread that initial post on why Carolina was in such a rush. He would be dumb to turn down a big offer. Blake had all the leverage in those negotiations.

    Honest question, do you think the name change has hurt recruiting?

    Absolutely not. Name change is just for show. Maybe a little distraction because of the fight to keep hawks off everything but that shouldn’t affect any of the players.
