    Being Perrson has never beat CC in his career maybe it was time to put Hobie in , these are the reasons we question coaching. 

    I’m not big on throwing him under the bus, defensive failure is the biggest coaching failure in my opinion

    Comparing hockey and football is silly, especially in the NCAA. Much harder for the lesser team to manage an upset in football than hockey.

    Question for everybody, what % of hockey games does the better team win? I can think of some games this year where UND was not the better team, but found a way to win.

    Better teams should win 2/3 the time or more

    I am confused reading the comments on the fan message board. I’ve determined that the UND coaching staff is average at best. Keep in mind, the head coach just surpassed the 200 win mark. He's 200-100-33 (.656) as a head coach. That’s absolutely brutal. Why hasn’t he been fired yet? 
     

    I’ll drop this here. 

    Winning 2/3 of your games is pretty good and the expectation if you are UND football. That not good enough for the hockey team. Making the tournament should be the bare minimum every year. Making a deep run is always expected. This coaching staff has under performed and it is remarkable all the people who come on this board to make excuses for them. We might as well shift funding to football if we can’t see any results!

    Winning 2/3 of your games might be good enough for some programs it isn’t here. We barely have made a playoff run in the last decade. That’s not good by Sioux standards……

    Maybe the 3rd best coach in the NCHC

    I can't believe all the empty seats.  First time ranked in how many years and they can't even get butts in the seats?
    That said, their chant is accurate.

    Because tickets were over $100 resale, they thought UND fans would still buy them. Well they didn’t ……

    When you've been as successful as Sandelin has in building that program and bringing it to the vaunted standards they've achieved, it's easier to tolerate a couple of down years.  Even around here, people weren't calling for Berry's head a few years after the title because he just won the title.  The problem is, the title was 8(!) years ago now and we've won 1 NCAA game since.

    2016 4 wins
    2017 0 wins
    2018 Missed tourney
    2019 Missed tourney
    2020 Covid
    2021 1 win (against AIC)
    2022 0 wins
    2023 Missed tourney
     

    Berry's first year, with Hak's roster, was the only outlier season among a lot of seasons of basically no success in the NCAA tourney.  Of the last six seasons, Berry is just as likely to not make the tourney as he is getting in, and when we do get in, we can hardly win a game.

    UND is just an average hockey program, we should be happy with the success we were able to achieve. No on has the right to question Berry or anything going on with the program

    The woulda coulda shoulda folks come out in force every time a little adversity hits.  I love that old worn-out pitch that if you aren’t panicking and pointing fingers of blame its because your “standards” are too low.   We set our own standards in our professional and personal lives, not on the games played by someone else’s college-age kids.  

    This isn’t high school hockey. Supporters and donors expect wins otherwise their money can go elsewhere.

    Did you even read what I wrote?

    Quit making excuses for berry and co. We should have the same success as Denver and Duluth , but we haven’t shown that anywhere close

    This isn’t a fair comment nowadays because there is sooo much good talent and so many great coaches. Add in the ability to use video for breaking down shifts and pre scouting the other teams/players and it makes for a more even playing field. We should and do expect great things but ripping Hak for never winning the big one and ripping a loss here and there (although we did play reeeally bad last night) isn’t always fair. Missing the tourney on 3 of the last 5 years was a painful blow but we are back on the upswing. 

     

    Another example of how many good teams and players there are now: look at the bubble teams in the pairwise at 12-18ish and you can safely say any of those teams could legitimately make the frozen four. There will absolutely be “upsets” this year as there always are in the tourney but this season they should hardly be considered upsets in a one and done situation. 
     

    sorry for the rant: I understand if I get the TLDR response haha 

    I get there is a ton of talented teams and coaches out there and that it’s not easy to win it all every year. Would I take the Hak years back instead of the berry era of course. We had teams that could have and many times should have won it all. If he had just won one title he would have shut many people up. Other teams like Denver and Duluth have shown you can win multiple titles in 5 years. We have the top program we should be able to too!
