SiouxScore Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I struggled to watch through the end of the 2nd period and I won't be paying much attention to the 3rd and I don't think that has really ever been the case for me with Sioux hockey. Duluth has basically bullied UND the last couple of seasons physically. The lack of talent on UND's roster is absolutely unacceptable and it has become pretty clear in the last year and a half that Berry isn't close to the level of coach Hakstol was when he was here. Hak would find a way no matter what the roster looked like to have his team competing for the conference championship. The last couple years we lose 1 top player to an injury for a while and can't recover. This team looks so undisciplined, unprepared, and unfocused it is an absolute joke. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recruiting has to be fixed. No more role players, skilled players only. You have to have role players on your hockey team. The Gophers and Terriers are a perfect example of this.

He was also great at getting the team ready for the second half of the season. He just didn't have the ability to drive them to a championship. Makes you wonder was Berry being the HC in 2016 a real difference maker to UND winning the title or would have any decent coach gotten it? To me, it looks like if Hak stuck around. He would’ve finally got one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it, it looks like if Hak stuck around. He would’ve finally got one. Brad was a great assistant because he could provide the connection on a human level to the players. At the Pro plevel, Hac is dealing with "professionals" (for the most part). So they get it with his style. Brad could never be a pro coach, IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many role players work for you? The amount they have now that has turned this team into a non playoff contender. Is the Junior class your favorite? 5 for 5 on role player forwards!

Frozen4sioux Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hate the smallIQ people that think it made a difference in 2016 to have berry there... I dont see a ton of difference between the 2011 team and the 2016 team... the difference... The team got the bounce in the semifinal.... berry coaching in 11. hak in 2016 the real difference was a bounce either going our way or not in the semifinal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are players that are talented, but are also responsible (see Gardner / Jones). Those should be your role players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we are all down on UND, your use of CC hockey humor is always on point. Also shows that, some programs have had it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
