It has nothing to do with "jiggering the numbers" or spinning a narrative; he's making a valid comparison between 3 coaches. No HC making close to half a million/year is above criticism.

Hell, for two consecutive decades between ‘97-16, UND would more often than not being playing in the frozen four. Now, we’re closing in a decade without even making it. 1 hour ago, 90siouxfan said: interesting choice of years, why 97? why not 88? 29 minutes ago, The Sicatoka said: Always spin the narrative to your favor. Why not 88? When things started trending in the wrong direction?? And UND replaced a 3-time national champion coach during a run a no NCAA tournament success??? Thanks for helping make my point, gentlemen! The question was always whether UND's national tournament performance is trending in the right or wrong direction here? For two decades, the program had success in the national tournament. That trend of success started during the 1996-1997 season. Has that trend of success in the national tournament from 97-16 continued during 17-24? No, it hasn't. And your efforts to avoid the question only confirm that you agree.

The Sicatoka Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 If you're going to complain in the TRANSFER PORTAL thread at least let it be about roster make-up/shape/design. UND needs to keep moving from "top 6, bottom 6" to "top 9 plus grind line" design. If the other team has no fear of offense from the bottom six they'll focus all the more on the top six defensively. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I don't know if his friend is a super reliable source so take it FWIW maybe she misunderstood that he going to the NHL eventually? Sounding like his friend is reliable.

tnt Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Gone are the days of players making a pact to come back to finish the job. Of course, most of the time that happened in situations like Minnesota's where they fell just shy of winning a title. It's not like UND can say "we were so close". Obviously, Blake was being pressed by Carolina, and I can understand their need to sign him so they don't lose him next year. Just sad that Minnesota is holding on to players, where in the past guys would stay around here because they wanted to make another push for a championship. So this obviously is going to give Berry even more grace, because we lost Blake and Berg, so we lost our top scoring threats. You know, if you are going to lose guys anyway, might as well recruit like Michigan and BU. Very disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to get him within the program to get him on track Blake's turnaround from December to March was impressive. He went from being a constant defensive liability to becoming reliable almost all of the time. Sure he was easy to knock off the puck if someone got contact. But his 200 foot game improved big time this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
