I thought I read that UND had the most draft choices in the NCHC? 

Yup, I thought I heard/read that too recently.

We all need to realize Berry is a good asst. but not a good head coach, time to change before this goes way to far down the rabbit hole.

You got it. Part of me agrees in general that as a coach you don’t air your dirty laundry but look at guys like Jim Montgomery who wouldn’t hesitate to call a spade a spade in his post gamers after a rare DU loss.

I don't think anybody expects Berry to name names....but he doesn't come across as having any sort of urgency in getting this figured out.  That's the frustrating part.  

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever envision teams like Duluth being light years ahead of us, even with our worst teams.

Really this is the best assertation that we can make right now... nothing else really needs to be said.

Skilled players can kill penalties too

I'm aware of that.

I believe CC didn't lose tonight.  Rough looking up at the whole league

Totally agree with your sentiments. Just hearing some anger and/or urgency from Berry would be a little reassuring.

  Thanks for reminding us....not sure we'd win an ACHA title with this group.

Not sure we would win a beer league right now!

CC lost in the OT shootout so they garnered a point. Wow, who would’ve seen this....UND in last place.

In a matter of just a few years, Berry has dismantled a legacy of over a decade of success. He can't recruit, certainly unable to take the position of head coach, and has most assuredly lost the locker room. 

The fisrt game against Manitoba has always served as a litmus test to how the team will do. Put up 8 goals, we contend in the NCAA finals ...need OT to win and your season is tanked. 

This is a very sad state of hockey. We've been bad before, but we went bad quickly after being so good for so long. Please bring Hak back...I want us to be marginally good!!

Now we know how rodent fans have felt like lately. Not a good feeling

Agreed, though if he gets replaced, let just say by Hak for arguments sake ... would he ever be willing to take the demotion to Asst?

"They'll be better tomorrow night, I can guarantee" says the announcer.   Will they?  I have my serious doubts at this point.

Oh, yeah, they will.  We'll explode for 2 goals and only give up 3 goals to Duluth and we'll also edge them in SOG 27 - 24.

[Big A HG]

The worst of it is....the best case scenario is getting back on the horse where we belong takes a few years to straighten out with a team this bad.  Every year that a coach brings in this little amount of talent makes it even harder to get to the top.

While Berry's time may be limited here, remains to be seen though, Haks ain't coming back no matter what happens in Philly.

This pretty much nails it! I may not even have to watch tomorrow.

[Oldguy]

At this point, having ANYBODY score more than 10 points before Christmas seems like a stretch!

Don’t think any head coach would do that at the same institution.

I would love Hak back....never was on the bandwagon of disliking him.  If not Hak, there's a proven Sioux alum with coaching and recruiting ability.  He was on the other bench tonight.  You pay him to come home.  If a coach can do what he's been doing in Duluth, imagine what he could do with REA and its facilities and tradition.

[SiouxFan100]

Tonight’s hockey team made our football team look a lot better!

Why do you say that? I believe he still has a residence in GF. He certainly is a UND guy. Again, if he is let go from Philly, he will be the top available college coach on the market. Why wouldn't UND look at that?

Its not like he left UND easily, that took some work on Philly's part. The guy has made some nice money and could settle in for another 15 -20 years if he wanted. Again, IF HE EVEN WANTED TOO.

Ouch.  A sad state of affairs this year indeed.

First time since 2003 that I have turned off a UND hockey game early. 

Wife was going to take a uber from the airport, told her I had time to get her.

[Big A HG]

Hak may not even be done in the NHL if he gets let go from Philly.  Heck, even Yeo got a second chance and Hak is not a worse coach than Yeo.  Hak has an almost .500 record with team save percentage in net of .880 (at least of a couple days ago).

It would be nice to get Eades back on the coaching staff!
