Given how well you handled playoff losses under Hak’s tenure, I’d imagine the past two years must have you pulling hair out of your head. 1 1 Quote

(sarcasm) This mentality has infected all of our programs. And as long as it is in place, we will win nothing of significance ever again. #hadenoughyet? Who’s mentality do you speak of? As a fan, mine and yours, and everyone else on this forum, our mentalities have zero effect on the outcomes of games and seasons. Don’t make the jump of a fan’s mentality vs a mentality of a program trying to make this point as your opinion is likely far from fact. I’m sure you’ve been in the locker room all year to know too.

SiouxFan100 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 We might need a shake up. Not knowledgeable about what but need something changed. Quote

The players gave it all but the coach’s need to implement systems to help the players succeed. Instill some discipline and maybe a different offensive scheme and power play and we get the output we need. Agreed. At the end of the day....it's better luck next year. That's all it is. Team greatly underperformed but I guess that does happen. Quote
crb1 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I can accept a bad season or two but what is really hard to accept is the lack of talent we seem to be missing. There really is no excuse for that. 1 Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Have we peaked? Will we ever (will any other college team) dominate anymore? I mean dominate every year - year after year? Are we in a new normal? Quote

Not much different than Paul Allen and the Vikings. They have a lot in common, that’s for sure. If you are being objective you would have to say that hard work will most likely be successful more often than not if players have enough talent and are put in a position by coaches to be successful. Either we don’t have the talent or the talent we have isn’t put in the position to succeed, either way, that is the coaches responsibility. Quote

Popular Post tnt Posted March 18, 2019 Popular Post Posted March 18, 2019 Goals scored have gone down each year under Berry. 162, 127, 117, to 93 this year. The further away from the Hakstol era, the worse things are getting. That is a pretty significant decline to just blame on puck luck. 5 Quote

tnt Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 ...and since Brad won’t touch this, 10 goal scorers each year since 2004-2005 have been 6,6,6,4,6,6,6,5,5,4,6 and under Berry 7, 4,4, and 1 this year, and that one only came about because of an overtime goal last weekend. We had a few years there when guys like Parks and Macmillan were key players that we weren’t overly talented, but still managed quite a few guys that could get to ten goals. Quote

That might be the most telling stat I’ve seen about the last few years. I don’t think its just lack of talent either like some are saying. I mean a guy like Mismash, who was a point per game player for the U-18s, isn’t even sniffing that kind of production here. Hoff and Adams were both high end offensive talents in the USHL and they can barely stay in the lineup. I don’t know what the answer is but that just doesn’t add up to me 1 Quote
