siouxkid12 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Just now, Blackheart said: She gets to stay on as an “advisor” to the program…not exactly sure what that entails but it probably pays. Gofer womens hoops team has been BAD for a while; guessing B-Rad has a little more slack at this point. That seat on the bench may get a little warm if Sioux start out slowly next season, though. Staying on as an advisor entails that there isn't a riot for firing a god that came from the program. Obviously Brad has more slack than Whalen but getting rid of a "family member" can be done when the program isn't up to par. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, the coward's way: If they fire her they have to pay her. If she steps down she's likely owed nothing, and she may even owe them. By publicly asking her to step down they appease the noise makers and make her a pariah for staying under contract. I'd expect nothing less from Goldie, and I expect so little. Now back to hockey.

The Sicatoka Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 If the record and the results look like this in 365 days it means the overt issues were not fixed (goaltending, defensive zone play) and at that point the calls are warranted. Until then ... tick-tock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he deleted it because he got ROASTED for it. Rightfully so lol. I have no problem with people calling out poor play. Totally justified. I know the guy who created the group and when a different mod was deleting negative posts about the team, I was all over him for it. No need to censure opinion. Can't stand that crap. With that said, when a guy gloats how he's gonna confront Berry in person, that deserves a significant ragging and he got it lol. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with your assessment - however, taking a step back to look at our program, what does it say for our recruiting when for the third year in a row we will be depending on a portal goalie? To me this is just a stunning turn of events - Third year in a row which doesn't make this a one time problem but a long term problem. I don't know what's going on with recruiting but this should have been addressed long ago. Staff needs to get it together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90siouxfan Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Perhaps the staff thinks portal goalies are the way of the future. Is it not common opinion that goalie development is longer term than F/D? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what's going on with recruiting but this should have been addressed long ago. Staff needs to get it together. I think maybe there's a sense that we can get away with it since the portal is there? Had we done it with a guy who could stay two years, would we like it better? I sure would. I also see a concept of "win now" involved. Thinking of the past two years tendies we brought in, both had significant amount of NCAA games under their belt. With the premise that they could be the "final piece of the puzzle" maybe the coaches were thinking, we've got Hequist in a couple years, so let's try and go all in on a portal guy. DeRidder has performed well down the stretch, and I guess we've got a few games left and hopefully a fun run. But overall he's been a miss. I thought Driscoll was very good for most of the year. From what I'm seeing from his stats, I think Hequist comes in next year and we try and make him our No. 1 ASAP. With that said, I'd love to have another guy in the pipeline right now. 5 minutes ago, 90siouxfan said: Perhaps the staff thinks portal goalies are the way of the future.

Especially now that Karl is on the coaching staff. But even aside from Karl, it's my understanding that every competitive hockey team needs at least one, and preferably two, competent goalies. How is our goalie pipeline essentially non-existent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustnyou Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I seem to be in the minority as most mention the need of a portal goalie next year and I don’t see why we can’t bring in a good freshman tendy. There are a lot of good junior goalies out there playing a position with the least amount of future job opportunities open. A lot of Good goalies won’t have a place to play after juniors. UND’s current goalie situation and pipeline is definitely a head scratcher. Top 5 blue blood hockey program and we don’t have the most important position on the ice taken care of. Imagine Alabama football not having a future 5 star QB recruit in the pipeline. Crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
