Time to Boo Berry?

Sounds like the sentiment around here is we are now comfortable missing the tourney every 3 out of 5 years

I think that is who he is talking about.
He misses the old days of tPenaltyBox forum.

Wasn't there something going on with a player? I vaguely remember hearing about it.

Yeah, among other things, apparently.

What are “the old days,” exactly?    All of the 70s?   The years from ‘88 to ‘96?  ALL of the Hakstol years when they nearly always made the tourney but many, including you, continually called for his dismissal because he couldn’t win the last game?

Pretty sure that group only expects to go undefeated and win a national championship every year.

They’re the “we just hope both teams had fun” group now.

Keep digging. It wasn't all about his performance. 

Yeah, no one is saying that bolded part. Why do we do this? Who said we shouldn't expect to make the tourney?

First paragraph:  you’ll have to spill your secret.  From everything I have heard, it was 100% performance-related.  

Second paragraph:  just read some of the comments.  Some of the folks who screamed about having Hakstol fired for not winning a national title have little problem with missing the NCAA tournament half the time now.

I should clarirfy--or qualilfy--that post.   You are a committed and long-time Sioux hockey fan, which is a very good thing.   You have a sense of humor, which is always appreciated, especially during frustrating times.  I often seem sarcastic about things you post, but I'll readily concede that you know more about the Sioux hockey program than i do, so take anything I say with a big grain of salt.   Which I'm sure you do without my encouragement.

Is culture better then winning 

[SIOUXELEVENS]

How about the culture of winning.

I don't think they're mutually exclusive.

But I thought Barry always preaches whole culture is in the locker room, so I beg to differ in his words that culture doesn’t amount to on a success because we have sioux culture apparently

A UND sweep this weekend gets them back to .500 to finish the NCHC season.

Or, that everyone loves each other no matter what otherwise you're a bad fan, the team plays hard, and they are good people. 

It's downright embarrassing.

They probably didn't like Hakstol because of his stone cold demeanor and how he treated his players like adults. 
They like Berry because he coddles his players and treats them like children. "You get a turn, You get a turn, everyone gets a turn" (in my Oprah voice)

14-13-6 on the season and 0-3-1 in games I personally attend.  The good news is, I won’t be in Grand Forks this weekend.

According to you and the GOBC, Berry is secure in his job and nothing will happen.

When's the next meeting of the minds at Judy's? 

[90siouxfan]

It would be quite a pickle if Berry  hangs a banner shortly....

[The Sicatoka]

If this team went on a season-ending seven game* heater ... 

 

*It's not eight, it's seven: game three + two at Final Five + four NCAA = seven

That would be great, but shocking.
