If we have another disappointing season this fall, it's hot seat time. If it happens two more years......time to make a change. -Same goes for WBB and MBB. Bill Chaves is the new sheriff in town.

We, as fans, are just contributing our opinions. As I said, whoever is named captain, has a job to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBB just had their worst season in about 30 years. "Fine?" I don't think so. Jones I agree with you on. He is down to his ninth of nine lives. Bubba needs to bounce back this season or his seat will get very warm. Berry will need to get back to the NCAA tournament next year or his seat will get very warm as well.

Popular Post Sioux90 Posted March 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2018 Calling for Berrys head is ridiculous and moronic. He's had control for only 3 years and only a few of his own recruits on campus. Adding injuries and some guys not stepping up, makes for a tough season. If the boys won even a third of their overtime games, everyone here would be happy. Most of you don't understand the logistics of hockey. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not how it works in a Division I program like this and you know that. And there are a lot of up and coming coaches who would kill to get this job.

The team looked undisciplined, unfocused and was inconsistent throughout. That is on coaching. Whatever the problem is (and there are some theories floating around this forum), it is up to Berry and his staff to figure it out and fix it. I think a house cleaning of the roster may be in order. If there are some attitude problems, they need to be sent packing. It doesn't take too many rotten apples to spoil the whole bin. Having said all that, I think we can bounce back next season. We lost a lot of close games this year and had 10 ties. Even a slight improvement puts us back in the national tournament. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are responsible for whatever happens in the program no excuses. I remember a couple years where injuries were much worse than this and Hak and staff found a way to get the team in the tournament. Blown leads, no shows, and a team that seemed to play worse in the 2nd half off the season are very concerning to me. If next season is anything like this one and ends with us at home watching the tournament instead of playing Berry should definitely feel the heat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of not winning any of those overtime games and blowing multiple 2 goal leads late in the season is on the coaching staff though. Some people wanted to crown Berry and give him all the credit for the National Championship and not give any to Hak. So if people wanna give him all the credit why doesn't he deserve blame this year? You stack back to back years together like this and it is big trouble. Now hopefully Berry can adapt and make the necessary changes and improvements to the program to get it back where it belongs next year but lets not act like there weren't some issues this year that were troubling and can't continue to happen. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald joker Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 No one should leave the team yet, not even Wolanin or Gersich. Wolanin needs another year to work on his defensive game and if Gersich leaves early he’ll be an AHL lifer If he’s not going to be already. If Wolanin stays I’m sure he’ll be the captain, if not then Rhett we probly wear the C. I wouldn’t mind seeing Jones be the captain but he should at least wear an A along with Poolman 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't.....but being a captain means you are basically the sheriff of the team. As long as people are doing their jobs you are in the background. When they screw up (or start sleeping with a teammates girlfriend) you lay the hammer down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Looks like Hain, Senden, Weathersby, Scheel coming in.....didnt care to look much harder. @brianvf is the guru here. Losing: Cam, Olson, Pogo, Simo, and probably Gersich and Wolanin. Goaltending: Scheel having a great year in BCHL....Thome the guy early. Defense: Please stay Poolman.....but a good core group of guys come back. Forwards: Ohh boy.... Who are your top six? Jones, Rhett, JJ, Gooch, Hain, Adams??? That's if you keep Hoff at center....or he is in the top six at wing. Need big summers from some guys in the weight room with Poolman.
