Goon Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 That is a pattern I have noticed as well. I would urge current college players to listen to the voices of experience and think twice about leaving school early. Unless your last name is Toews, Parise or Oshie, it isn't worth giving up your college years (which will never, ever come again).College was fun... The best seven years of my life. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scpa0305 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 My point is he isn't the first player in the last few years to come out and say he probably should have stayed at UND instead of jumping to the pros.Do you think he actually meant that? From what I've heard Mcyntire was pretty set on going. It was also his time, he was ready. Same story with Schmaltz. Every good player loves playing in GF as they are pretty much celebs, but both of these players was ready. For their development, it was better for them to move up.

Whether he actually meant that is not something I think is even arguable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodbuster Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Got to meet and chat with Coach Berry and his daughter Brooke at a benefit in Mayville last night. He was as nice a person as everyone has said and his daughter was easy to visit with, too. And, gosh, he is a big guy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Got to meet and chat with Coach Berry and his daughter Brooke at a benefit in Mayville last night. He was as nice a person as everyone has said and his daughter was easy to visit with, too. And, gosh, he is a big guy!Berry is an awesome guy, my family live across the street from him for a few years when he was first at UND and I was in grade school. He always had kids around the neighborhood over and told them hockey stories while providing candy and pop. Upon leaving UND and moving away he handed me a hockey stick he used in his NHL playing career. I'll never forget that stuff, still have the stick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually now that I think about it, Cary Eades was the same way. Edited December 9, 2015 by Emerald joker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scpa0305 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Is there a reason he signed a two-year deal?Didn't he sign an entry level deal? That is pretty typical. 2 or 3 years I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fargosioux Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Interesting statistic .. UND goalies have more shutouts so far this season than Zane had in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snova4 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Interesting statistic .. UND goalies have more shutouts so far this season than Zane had in his career.It's obviously that Berry is a better coach than Hakstol. Right Cratter?

Cratter Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) It's obviously that Berry is a better coach than Hakstol. Right Cratter?Yet to be determined. I don't think its too far stretch to say Zane was a better goalie than Cam right now, although Cam has amazing numbers. A lot of it has to do with defense. Where coaching comes to play. Maybe Shaw's the best coach on the team. .....This defense made a walkon goalie look like Aaron Dell. Hoping Berry's teams don't peak too early.Hakstol always had them playing the best when it mattered most. Also hoping Berry doesn't peak early in his career like Hakstol.

Cratter Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) At the Final Five? He did win it four times. Now if you're talking about the Frozen Faceoff, I'm still waiting to watch UND win one game at the Target Center. I do like how Berry keeps emphasizing winning two games in a row, which is critical in the NCAA tournament.

That's a good point, Cratter. They let Duluth control play in the zone much of the night, but that D corps really understands how to plug up prime shooting lanes and the garbage zone in front. Cam's positioning was extremely good all weekend, but it's partly because he knew where the pucks would be coming from. Maybe because it's a momentum-driven, energy game, hockey is oversimplified by us fans--me at least. Good D depends a lot on forwards playing good D, something that is easy to appreciate with the best offensive line on this team. Good offensive production depends a lot on good transition, which starts with the Dmen. Whether the coaching can be described as good, of course, depends on whether he has won a natty or not.

brianvf Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 You must've not watched them beat Western Michigan 5-0 in the third place game in the 2013-2014 Frozen Faceoff. That game was meaningless though because it (along with UW's win later that night in OT) only allowed UND to get into the NCAA's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
