SIOUXELEVENS Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Ok coach Berry you got your ass handed to you last night in all aspects of the game , what do you change for tonight? I would guess he doesn’t want to step on any toes so rinse and repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say that for the entire group honestly. Can't remember which d man watched the Wisdom kid skate in and get two shots in on Hedquist and score his 4th when it was 5 or 6 to 1, but that shouldn't happen if it's 20-1. Haven't read any comments from Bubbs, but I would hope the film session today is a good lesson on how not to play in your own end. I think the toughest job will be to flush away a 7-1 thumping. And CC is going for blood tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scpa0305 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 5 hours ago, Scratch said: I'm with Big A HG. Let's say we end up a top 2 seed at the tournament. Win the Atlantic/CCHA bye, then lose to the first real team and miss the frozen four in our backyard (for the 7th straight year). Will that be enough for anyone here to denounce Berry yet? The only thing I think Berrys proponents can point to is league championships, in an 8 team league where there are only 3 contenders year to year. WCHA there were 6. Does anyone hold a Penrose akin to a MacNaughton? I have no insight to UND's NIL situation, so I don't know if Berry has any responsibility for its complete absence, can anyone enlighten me why we are doing nothing to compete with Bostons/Michigan/Minnesota? The next two years are the supposed upswing for Berry's recruiting--look at any of those school's recruits for the same time. It's "maybe our guys sneak into the first round" vs their guys "will they be 1st or 3rd overall." Our facilities are really nice (the best) and our tradition/fans base is awesome. But the fact is….recruiting to GF is a lot harder than it used to be. We also have some really nice recruits coming in. Some of the big 10 teams and def those Boston teams are just pulling in so many blue chips. It’ll be interesting how things evolve over the next 5-10.

hockeytherapy13 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Hedquist should get the start tonight and some lines better be jumbled. A message needs to be sent that nights like last night (and like Friday in Oxford, for that matter) are unacceptable. The way we have lines set up, johannes or not, is not the answer for this team. Our 4th line was the only line that created 5x5 chances last night. But then again CC had a response for everything we tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Hot take. They were going to lose at some point, might as well get embarrassed. Cause a complete reset of their mentality. I would also like to see some different line combos. What we’ll see though is 13 & 5 switch. No other changes. It is what it is at this point, but it’s so crazy that not only is 8 not 4C, but that you put him with 18. How is 18 supposed to flourish playing w/ someone that has no offensive ability.

Benny Baker Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 9 hours ago, tnt said: Didn’t get to play with one of our best teams, outplayed both BU and Duluth in regional games, so in a one and done it is sometimes a crapshoot. Ask Minnesota with guys like Nies, Cooley, Snuggerud, Faber, LaCombe and Johnson. That said, they need to realize that in those situations they absolutely can’t get behind the eight ball and think that they will win in the end, as we’ve seen teams hanging around are dangerous. Sometimes though, you can’t control how your goalie or the other goalie plays, and that could be the difference. Need four games where your goalie and special teams are clicking. I don’t get the Minnesota comparison? They’ve won 5 NCAA games the last 2 seasons; those players got their team to overtime of the national championship last season. North Dakota, on the other hand, in the last 7 seasons, has only beat AIC in the national tournament. That’s it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 This team needs 13 / 28 back and healthy. Great team guys, but 5 imo is the clear cut 14th guy. 11 is the clear cut 13th guy. With the 3rd line constructed as is, when 5 & 11 are both playing, it turns this team into a two-line team. Need the 4th line back to 29/21/13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I wasn't able to watch or listen, but looking at the stats the 20% PK is what's most worrisome. Any insight (preferably from someone not suffering an existential crisis after a single loss)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any insight (preferably from someone not suffering an existential crisis after a single loss)? I’m only paraphrasing Bubs in his postgame when asked about the PK but basically he said CC was allowed to snap pucks all over the ice, UND wasn’t getting sticks in lanes, weren’t pressuring the puck carrier, etc. To me, UND looked tentative on the penalty kill. Almost scared as if we respected CC’s powerplay unit too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing up the lines is 50/50 chance of success or more missed and blind passes to opposing team. I would like to see a solid heavy line against their best. Throw Gaber and Blake together, I think it would increase the opportunity for them to score. MY 2 cents…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I talk switching lines, it’s code for, move Schmaltz to 4C. I’m a broken record with it, because I’m convinced he handicaps the 3rd line (Perron in particular). Since it wont happen, really relying on 13 being a full go. I’m going to go against my normal instinct and hope 32 is back in net. Big one to tonight! Need to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop trying to force something that isn’t going to happen. Put him down to 4th line with ness and Albrecht, get strinden on 3rd with jammer and Perron so that Perron can flourish. or maybe really go for offense and get Perron back up with Gaber and Berg. Then have Kunz with Jammer and Strinden for a heavy line with great defense that can also be a threat then the 4th line is still Albrecht schmaltz and ness. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldguy Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Looked back at the championship season. The worst showing was on the road at Denver in February, 4-6 and 1-4 losses and swept. Every team stumbles, but yesterday was particularly disappointing, given that they should have been motivated by two OT losses at home. These guys looked like world beaters vs. DU, but that seems like ancient history now. Expect more of the same tonight, but hope to be proven wrong. Oh, and please BURN the black jerseys after whatever that was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
