fightingsioux4life Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 While I am a little tired of playing second-fiddle to other programs (first Boston College, now Duluth), talk of replacing Berry is pre-mature. Duluth isn't going to win titles forever, nobody does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will reload and we will have Gaber, most likely Sanderson and Kleven and a host of others along with some newcomer. It is not the end of the world. Jammer also logged a lot of minutes and comes back as a freshman next season. The sun will rise again tomorrow and UND will still have a good hockey team. 1...how about getting out of the regional first... 2...what good is reloading if we don't do anything with them other than beating aic? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. The standard in Grand Forks is NCAA titles. Nobody remembers who makes the tournament and bows out early. Having said that, it is premature to start calling for a change at the top. I think Berry will reload and get us back to the top of the mountain again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't reload with good talent you won't even get into the tournament. Our program is very good at developing talent and we will be back next year. I really believe that out of the top 4 NCHC teams anyone can beat anyone on any given night. The teams are that close at the top of the NCHC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is why we attract so many quality athletes and players; people want to be part of something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, winning both of those league championships are hard and show an overall body of work but that's not what anyone plays for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Green Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I've always been of the mindset you shouldn't even have the chance to play for the national championship if you did't win the Regular or Post Season Title. How can you be a national champion if you are not even the best team in your conference. I've always hated at large or wild card teams. A team has a mediocre season and plays lights out for 2 weekend of a whole season and we are supposed to anoint them national champions. Makes not sense.

A team has a mediocre season and plays lights out for 2 weekend of a whole season and we are supposed to anoint them national champions. Makes not sense. Neither SCSU or Duluth won their conference or tournament, and I would hardly say they had mediocre seasons. If Miami would have come out of nowhere and won the NCHC tournament, would that have made them fit your criteria? They have a terrible season but they play good for 1 week, so they make the tourney, but a 2 place team like SCSU or Duluth shouldn't? I'm just having a tough time following the logic here. Just my opinion, but I wouldn't say most teams in the national tourney have had mediocre seasons. It could be argued that a team like AIC that had a good season on paper, is still far more mediocre than many second or third place teams in other conferences.

Sandelin took over a program that was in shambles, with facilities not much better than some high school arenas. A little different than what Berry walked into. That being said, I'd hope UND doesn't turn into a program whose fans are happy with results from 15 years ago and/or one where compiling wins is more important than greatness. No sane person would argue that Don Sutton was a better pitcher than Sandy Koufax.......but Sutton did have alot more regular season wins. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
