when the thread devolves into crappy low humor memes it's time to shut it down....meh! 

ALSO I don't think an internet poster named SIOUXKID12 will have any credibility in deciding a UND coaching position until he updates his handle to one that doesn't make you think of Chris Hanson coming into a room with cookies and a transcript.

I’ve seen enough of Berry in seven seasons time for a fresh face/approach. He had a preseason top ten team and worked it into a no home ice no ncaa team again , since 2002 we have been on the road twice for the league first round both under BB. 

And since 2002 we've won one NCAA title, also under Berry. Along with the what if season of 2020. That paired with a 50 percent succes rate in winning the regular season title in the toughest league in college hockey.  Not sure what your expectations are but Berry's tenure has fallen largely in line with the programs history overall and hardly been some colossal failure.

If next season is like this season, it will be time for a change. Wisconsin went down the sewer fairly quickly and it could happen to us just as easily.

So missing the ncaa’s 3 times and one win after 2016 is ok with you because he wins league titles? Players come here for national titles.

…and now Wisconsin isn’t even competitive every four years.

They play a shutdown brand of hockey.  Will he change that philosophy with a different recruiting base?

That is the old Mankato. This year is down a little averaging 32 shots per game and 3.2 goals but the previous 5 seasons they were 4, 3.6, 4, 3.5, and 3.8 goals per game. They aren't just a clog up the neutral zone and play defense team, they get up and down and have had plenty of speed/skill.

Sounds like a coach we used to have whose initials were DB. :)

This year has been disappointing on so many levels. What I'll say is one of the things that is uniquely disappointing about this year is let's call it development for a handful of young, talented players. There are four underclassman all talented, that at different points in this season have been buried. Either scratched completely for large portions of the season or play so few minutes where the games played is deceiving.  I hope they don't, but I wouldn't blame any of the four for transferring out. This has been a year of lost development. 

My personal opinion, and it's been something that has been frustrating to watch. Let's use #6 as it's the most obvious example. It would be one thing if the other 6 (or 7) defenseman were lights out. This is the same for the Forward group as well. There are a handful of locks in the line-up that I cannot believe are. The inconsistency is crazy to me. Player X makes a mistake and sits for the rest of the game, player Y makes the same mistake and doesn't miss a shift. Then makes it again. 

Also, the mismanagement of the Goalie situation when there's only one legitimate D1 goalie on the roster was insane. Remember when DeRidder didn't play at all when Western was in town? 

For me, not just the wins and losses. This has been a really bad season on so many levels.

Hard to say with hockey as a bad bounce can turn a game and in a 1 game eli mination that can end the season.

If i was a betting man, wait I am, I would have had UND at 2-1 to win the national title in 2020 and Cornell at 4-1 and the field at 20-1.

That was definitely a head scratcher.  If he wanted Johnson to get some action the week prior versus Lindenwood would have been the time to do it.  DeRidder had just played extremely well at Western and then doesn't touch the ice a couple weeks later....
