Are we looking for one great goalie and mediocre ones to fill out the rest of the roster? Are our goalies just not fighting each other in practice? I remember the days of lammy/ parise, dell/ eidsness, Saunders/McIntyre, McIntyre/ johnson. Hell I remember when Brandt went ballistic on blais when he tried sitting him for a game (I think it was Duluth). I just feel like our current goalies are like those guys.

I’ve been one that has been pretty anti-Berry but like some others on here, I believe he deserves one more season to clean it up. If it’s anything even remotely like this season, buh-bye!

I dunno about that but it’s amazing seeing the pivot from Hakstol being excoriated for not winning a Frozen Four in what, seven chances, to defending Berry for missing NCAA tournaments altogether “because three straight Penrose Cups.”

I guess I wasn’t intending on defending Berry. I would be more than fine with moving on. I just really don’t see it happening after this year.

North Dakota has 1 NCAA tournament win since 2016 against someplace called American International College.  1 post-season win.  Now ask yourself, would Dean Blais or Dave Hakstol have survived that statistic?  I doubt it. 

That is a far more useful metric than asking how many banners he's won, IMO.

Curious if you think it is the same persons "pivoting" in thier opinions,  or is a different point of view now grasping the bullhorn?

I didn’t mean you in particular in terms of defending Berry and this season certainly isn’t enough to part ways with him.  The trend however. barring a miracle run to the NCHC championship, has definitely not been upward.

Probably the best comment I’ve read on this board in a very long time.
