Cornell @ UND -- Saturday Gameday

[Godsmack]

Just turned on the radio. Did Hennessy already interview Berry? If so, what did he say?

And we were 16th before the ASU losses, so things are still very fluid.

Exactly! Thank you for bringing some levity. UND has plenty of opportunities to right the ship, just like Cornell has. I’ll be following the Cornell-QU games.

No, they're really not.

Cornell looks like a solid middle of the pack hockey team.  A 4th-6th place finish in the NCHC.  We look like a slow team that lacks some offense skill and can’t figure out how to play in the defensive zone.  Our margin of error is very slim and we can’t afford to make as many stupid plays as we did this weekend.  This team needs to quickly figure out the way they need to play to be successful or they will be sitting out the tourney for the third time under Berry.

Wasn’t Cornell ranked number one in the last year or two?

Take the Kelly green glasses off and give Cornell some credit

not saying we played up to our ability

This really isn't a very talented UND team and that is the bottom line. Cornell is a very average team, just like this UND group. I think both will be trying to just sneak into the tournament come March and get a few breaks to go their way to make a run.

5 forward recruits that need to come in w/ only 3 Seniors. Berry needs to get some guys to transfer (9 & 11 being the two). Need to upgrade the talent.

They were right with us during the covid cancelled tourney but what does that have to do with this team? Our team looks nothing like last years group or the the previous year.

They're not very good. Problem is, we're not either.

Bottom line, we should not have been swept at home by Cornell. This weekend was an unmitigated disaster.

I can't remember a time when I saw a team that had such little skill at forward. People can rip on @gfhockey all they want for his "grindaz" comments, but he's not exactly wrong.

So were we.
Doesn't have much to do with the existing teams though since both teams lost a bunch since then.

His constant slobbering over UMD is what irritates people the most.

i turned the radio off bc i didn't want to hear bubs and his heavy breathing

This looks nothing like Sioux hockey , no fire from the players or coaches. Gaber needs to shoot more pucks and quit missing the net.

Really?? There was the dreadful Canasuis (sp?) season... that was bad...

[SiouxForever]

A successful season for this years off team is to make the natty and see what happens. Despite leading the NCHC now, Idk if that’ll happen. 

Fast forward 2-3 years from now and it’ll be sad with Pinto last year and Sanderson’s 2-year career that UND couldn’t compete in a frozen four.

Good point, but at least that was on the road.

That team had multiple forwards who've played in the NHL. This team? I'd be shocked if any do.

Who is in charge of recruiting now , where does the buck stop? This team looks like nothing Like Berry took over, Halliday, Rizzo , morrow etc maybe these players saw the writing on the wall , this team will be down early this year. 

[Username Taken]

Let’s be honest, with a tough non-conference schedule, Cornell is one of the least skilled teams they will play all season. Cornell is not a top 10 team and neither is UND. Kudos to Cornell for great defensive play and goaltending and for picking up the sweep. This UND team will likely be ranked where they should be now…on the bubble.

Technically, Berry is in charge of everything, but I imagine both assistant coaches do some recruiting as well.

I agree on the bubble is probably where we belong if even there. I have a feeling we will also not be in 1st place in the NCHC in the not to distant future.

This is one of the most embarrassing weekends we have had in a LONG time

No!!! I went to buffalo for the Canisius series two years ago......Brutal!!!

[Old Barn Guy at Home]

I wonder about the effect of having so many "mercenaries" come to the program.  Maybe one or two at the most should be considered in the future.  Also, recruit a top-level goal tender if the team is going to be so short on offensive talent.
