We're talking 4th liners and 6/7th defensemen. Is it necessary for Schloss to dig into this? Sometimes there are no behind-the-scene stories. Lather, rinse, repeat conversation about Johnson. Nothing to see here , never mind the man behind the curtain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed johnson is gone, nothing more to really discuss. I’m guessing they’re trying not to make it a distraction. I mean, they can’t trade him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXELEVENS Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 So they bring him in over Morrow because Morrow has baggage and this kid plays 36 games over two years and the rumor is locker room issues , hell we could have had Morrow with issues if that’s the case. I know this is a dead horse but it looks like this is Berrys culture. Two other examples come to mind Chris Wilkie and Jonny tychonick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Barn Guy at Home Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 An observant person could say that Berry's "culture" includes winning 3 consecutive Conference Championships (plus a National Title a few short years ago). Sure, many rabid fans want the National Championship, who doesn't, but the goal tending this season has been a big reason for the lack of wins. Expectations of the coaching staff probably exceed that of the fan base. At least the coaches have the credibility in their repertoires, rather than the lack of it in many of the complainers I have read on this board. Some of the comments make me laugh at their simplistic absurdity. Everyone who thinks they have the real knowledge to make a coaching decision should first read Teddy Roosevelt's "The Man in the Arena." It pretty much sums up how I feel about this situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb1 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 The final regular season series is already upon us. Hope the team can get two wins this weekend and end the regular season on a high note. I must say this year has gone by pretty fast and has been pretty hard to watch at times. Let's hope with the ending of the regular season we can start fresh with the playoffs. Time for the boys to put the past in the past and move forward in the playoffs and gt to MSP to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They choose to go with veteran players. Rumor has it that 6 already has multiple offers from several top 10 programs for next season. So if he’s not any good why the offers from top ten schools. Maybe the coaching staff needs to change how the evaluate talent IMHO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means he may run into the same issue at a "top ten school" if he transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He turns it over too often and is easily outmuscled in puck battles. Sometimes getting drafted is a curse because family and family advisors think they need to rush development and get kid to next level to get to their goal of playing pro hockey quicker and many times this ends up stalling their development instead of expediting it....and NHL teams swing and miss on draft picks quite a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not like he wasn't given a chance to play here at UND. He played in 28 games as a freshman and 24 as a sophomore. He then transferred to UNO and played in 23 games the first year and 24 the next. He actually played in less games in his first two seasons at UNO than in his first two seasons at UND. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even imply that. I'm only saying that there could be more to the story AND AGAIN, we're talking about a fourth liner (who will be very good for us through his career) and a 6/7th dman. Just a waste of energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That feels like a simple answer because frankly, he didn't play well when he got in. 49 minutes ago, brianvf said: Oh maybe he's just simply not playing/practicing as well as the top 6 dmen so he hasn't been able to crack the lineup.

Where would this team be if the Coaching staff decided at the beginning of the year to ride DeRidder like they have post Western Michigan series (remember the one that they started Johnson and he gave up 7)? The Coaching staff deserves a lot of criticism for how they handled the goalie situation. Not hindsight either. He's the only D1 goalie they have on the roster. You could pivot though, this team has given up 3 Goals in the last 3 Games and they have 0 regulation wins, so scoring is an issue also. Take your pick, this year has been a disaster.

An offensive stud. I highly disagree with him playing defense. Maybe in pieces, but the dude does not play D consistently. We're a team that's struggled all year with gap play and getting out of position. He is consistently out of position. He's a -1 this season after being a +10 last year. I think Ty Farmer had A LOT to do with his success. Anyway, it was just a shot at the obsessions with the kid as a side effect of Bubbs' problems. Plus, we're in the wrong thread for this lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMASS is struggling this year really bad, so the -1 isn’t that bad. I mean he leads their team in pts (from the point) all while having one of the best +\- on his team. -1 would be really good on our team…go take a looksy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
