jk Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 The sad part is they were a pretty good team at the end of the year. In this game, they had a series of glorious chances late in the second that didn't go in, then SC pushed back in the third. But you can't have such a tough start to the year, because there's no margin for error for an outcome like tonight's. 2 Quote

Exactly usually when a season ends without a championship/frozen four usually I'm sad/mad and thinking about what could have been but this year the feeling is more like yep this was expected. There was never the feeling of hey get a bounce here or there and this team could be in the frozen four. You look at the speed/skill difference of our squad compared to teams like Minnesota and Denver and it looks like Varsity and JV in 2/3 of the roster and quite frankly that is unacceptable for a program like North Dakota. This years team never showed the ability to put consistent performances together 3-4 games in a row. The staff didn't trust guys enough and give them enough opportunity to get the most out of the talent on this roster. Lot of changes need to be made and it starts at the top we will see if the people in position making those decisions realize it. I'd be perfectly fine with letting Berry go and bringing in a new staff and that is actually the move I'd make but I see that as less than 5% to happen. So realistically Berry and the staff need to realize what they are doing isn't working, how they are playing isn't a recipe for success. You need to trust young players early in the season and give them opportunities to play into to bigger roles even if it seems they may not be ready for those roles let them grow into it. There is no reason James and McLaughlin weren't in the top 6 at the end of the season. There is no reason Constantini was yanked out for every mistake early in the season and James as well, while veteran guys could play awful and get PP time the next game out. There is no reason Strinden wasn't getting regular PT these last couple weeks. Need to implement more freedom offensively, preach playing with speed and creating off the rush instead of chip the puck in and play along the boards. 1 2 Quote

Moore and James probably thought there was help on the backend. Hell idk, this whole season has been FUBAR. I for one have already turned the page to October. Quote

A fitting end to the year. Quote
Wilbur Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 The replay guy gives the fans in the rink false hope.... Just a kick in the nuts end to the season. Blah....kind of like the Minnesota Vikings....get us excited only to let us down. Guys battled. They did. 2 Quote

It was a three on three and James got beat by the guy in the middle. Quote
SIOUXELEVENS Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 This team has no speed and lacking an offensive system that works , airmailing the puck and hoping someone skates into isn’t cutting it 1 1 Quote

Can’t win consistently like that. No you can't. It's just disappointing that it wasn't an odd man chance. Numbers were even coming into the zone and they gave him a free one. Quote

ChrisUND1 Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Tough season. Congrats to St Cloud. They can relish that they ended UND’s season and some guys’ careers. Props to them. Quote
BusinessSoot Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Now we wait and see who signs and leaves early and who hits the transfer portal. I’ll set the total over/under at……..5. Thoughts? Quote
