The fact that we will finish lower in the NCHC than we were projected to finish for the 3rd straight year is concerning to me, but I'm not ready to pull the plug. Next year will be a tell tale for me, especially if none of the talented freshmen put up any numbers, because that would suggest to me there is more going on than just talent level. I absolutely see the cause for concern. It's the START of a trend that, if continued, would be concerning. Quote

All those things aren't great and I'm not ignoring them, but moving a coach based on this is absolutely irrational. Our problem the 1 and 3/4 seasons is scoring. We are bringing in 4 heralded recruits and our pipeline is incredibly highly touted. Bailing on a coach puts that pipeline at risk. So, to fix our problem of scoring, we need those players, but you want to fire the coach. Got it. The shortsightedness is within our fan base is incredible. #ifonlyJoststuckaround Quote

Do I think missing the tournament two years in a row is acceptable? No. Do I believe they've fallen as far as some want to believe? No Do I believe they will be back next year? Yes What my problem is currently is nobody is asking the tough questions and putting any pressure on this coaching staff. The local media just makes excuses for why things are happening. The latest "look where Michigan, Boston and Minnesota" spin really pissed me off. Ultimately, I fell there's no accountability being taken by the coaching staff and there's nobody that will but pressure on them. I agree, I agree, I agree, I agree hahaha. I disagree on the accountability. The town and this board are great examples. If we continue to struggle, the pressure will continue to amp up. Quote

It's too soon. Right now, people are disappointed, but we don't have broad enough experience to identify problems with any confidence. We know he can game coach a banner. Whether he can establish and maintain a consistent winning culture, we do not know. We also do not know that he can't. I tend to have confidence in him. They have been very close both these last two years. Quote

The article talking about older recruits seems a little odd, considering a great number of our current players have played a year or two of juniors and came in with a lot of junior experience. Quote
SIOUXELEVENS Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Then Berry is the head coach he should address it , nothing has changed in the last two years in the teams attitude and or performance and the buck stops with him. I know Berry isn’t going anywhere but he needs to right the ship and it’s still listing to port. Quote

The past two years have been very frustrating, but it's just two years (and this one isn't even finished) and we're close. We're not talking about a 10 win team here. Quote

A few days out from the injury and that's the response indicates not so good new coming. Or are they waiting for the swelling to go down? Quote

tnt Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 The one thing that has impressed me is that Berry doesn't seem to have lost this team. Yes, we lost Saturday against Western Michigan, but what I saw last weekend had me thinking we could really make a run, as the players seemed all in. The Scheel injury has really put a damper on that for me though. Here's hoping for the best possible news. 2 Quote

I have confidence that Thome can get it done, but Scheel has just been awesome this year. So impressive. I don't think there's a question with effort level. Sadly, they didn't show up in the two most killer games this season. Quote
SIOUXELEVENS Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 So there’s no question but they didn’t show up for two games? It’s ok fellas we can’t skate hard for two gsmes m, you gave it all yesterday, come on man!!!! Quote

The big worry isn't UND is going to miss the NCAA tournament back to back years. It's Bubba is going to miss the NCAA tournament in back to back years in only his 4th year as head coach at UND. Quote

To your point, they finished in the exact same spot in the Pairwise that they had in previous years and made the tournament during the streak, the chips just didn't fall in their favor last year, yet somehow we need to jump off a ledge. Not to mention #14 in the Pairwise had made the tournament every year since 2008. No one is excited about it, but to pretend they hadn't been in the same spot before and got a bounce or two go their way to get into the tournament is just putting your head in the sand. 1 Quote

They had a bad weekend at the worst possible time, no doubt. But, this team works hard night in and night out. Quote

SIOUXELEVENS Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 So we shouldn’t question the effort when they get swept by the 54th place in the country, hmmmmm. Quote

Who is saying this?! I JUST said they laid an egg on that weekend at the worst time. You can certainly question them on this weekend. All yours. I'm telling you I think it's silly to question their effort level based on this. Quote
