Hennessy saying the better team lost this weekend.  "Puck luck" kind of thing. 

Maybe he should just stand up and do his best Harry Cary impression and sing "in heaven there is no beer...."

Because he’ll be hired by another NHL team this spring. 

Sure, that's possible but no one knows if he still wants to be in the NHL. He may prefer NCAA now that he's done both. UND would be less pressure and more job security. 

[franchise]

BSU certainly doesn't have more talent, but they even seem to get more production. And all of their PP seem to produce at least one good scoring attempt. UND can't even keep it in the zone while passing to the point.

How many see exactly the same thing happening with hockey as football?

Bubba many other places gets his walking papers.  Instead, we fire the assistant coach everyone hates and he is given one more year to prove what we likely already know. 

After they miss the postseason does Berry give Shaw his walking papers and a new guy is brought in and Berry is given another year to prove what we already know?

character assassination   seems to be your trait...ya, 15 straight years are doubtful these days, but some conferences are really weak.......get a grip on 'reality'....times have changed....I see by your location...where you are from...so am not surprised by your thought process....Dynasties are a thing of the past....

Assassination? With you it’s more like suicide.

For those interested, Canisius College has scheduled the “HOLY CRAP!  WE SWEPT NORTH DAKOTA!” banner-raising ceremony for January 11th, at 6 pm Eastern time, about 30 minutes prior to face-off against Mercyhurst.

Does anyone have a legit reason that Hak wouldn't come back? 

I get that Eades is unlikely, but other than some guess that Hak wouldn't want to step on his friends toes or something? If Berry was fired, I don't see why Hak wouldn't be interested. 

Why is Eades "unlikely"? A Division I coaching job is a step up from the USHL. The idea that he would turn it down is not very credible.

The idea that he would EVER be offered the position is likewise not very credible.

A guy who has had big-time success with the Fargo Force would never be offered a job here? Just seems half-butt backwards.

Of course, that could describe the current state of UND athletics and the direction it is going in right now.

Maybe, but I got the impression Hak didn’t want to uproot his family for Philly. It took a lot of convincing by the Flyers before he accepted the job. No guarantee he will want to do it again somewhere else. Never know what all goes into a guys decision.

Certainly dark times for UND athletics. Time for Chaves to earn his salary. 

To be fair, Chaves hasn't been here that long yet. Not enough time to put his stamp on the athletic department.

That being said, he better have all the coaches minus VB on notice. UND hasn't been this irrelevant in a long time (especially with the "My Oh My" show 80 miles to our south).

[Cratter]

It's just parity folks. We've been told for multiple years this is the new norm.

If you knew the whole story, you would understand why.

That story is more reason to hire The Legend!

That story hardly makes him “legendary.”

If it’s the story I’ve heard there is nothing legendary about it. It’s sad and terrible.

Enough about Eades.  Motion to move on with the discussion...

This team needs Gersich back to sleep with one of the players girlfriends to light a fire and get this team back to mediocre.  

Doesn't really have to be Gersich anybody could probably step in and do the job.

Chronic underachiever???

JJ was out as well from Friday's lineup.

I don't know the back story with Eades, but maybe it should be minimized and amended?    cough bohl cough cough

JJ was probably more interested in watching the World Junior championship game anyways...

I learned from Schloss today that undisclosed is another word for healthy scratch.
