Gameday threads vs. general threads - the expectation should always be different. I'll be rational and measured after I get my cathartic rant out of the way! Quote

At this rate, Berry could go 0-fer on the season and people would still defend him at some point. UND fans, in general, are a fickle bunch. And I'm saying that as a lifelong UND fan. I recall the threads calling for Hak's head every single year even when he brought the team to the Frozen Four only to lose again and again. Berry certainly doesn't have the postseason success as Hak did, even though he got that elusive title. But I'm guessing that even if a new coach was hired, the same UND fans would be calling for the new coach's head if he didn't win the natty at least every couple years. It just goes with the territory. 3 Quote

I mean, Q lost 3-0 to #45 today. If UND plays this methodical game next week, they'll have a hard time against anyone. In the NCAA every opponent can beat you. Even UND could beat someone next week, hard as it is to imagine at the moment. 1 Quote

It just goes with the territory. Just because there was a big thread about "Fire Hak" doesn't mean I was a participant...nor does it mean anyone calling for Brad's head was a participant of the Hak one...though I won't argue that some would overlap. I am a big fan of Hak and think that young recruits, players, other programs, and the hockey landscape as a whole thought incredibly highly of UND while he was coach. You don't hear those same things nearly as much anymore and we're not recruiting elite talent like we used to. Quote

Big A HG Posted March 23 Posted March 23 I would guess Mama Gaber was playing with the crowd on Flakebook if that counts. Quote
tnt Posted March 23 Posted March 23 The fact that we got swept by two teams this year and haven’t played with an edge the next time we played them doesn’t scream out the culture Berry touts. Get it together for the tourney or this will just be another huge disappointment. I can handle it if you play with a passion and lose, but it certainly hasn’t been the case lately! Quote

tnt Posted March 23 Posted March 23 With Berry’s record of performance away from the Ralph where UND has had huge followings, maybe it’s a good thing we won’t be in Sioux Falls. Quote

Very little confidence in this team as they limp into the NCAA's, with a starting GT who hasn't played in weeks. Quote

I did a quick search, found the last Fire Hak thread from 2015 (like a month before it was announced he took the Flyers coaching job). A lot of the same posters, for sure. And yes, you were a participant in that thread. No worries though, as I said...it is just how things are around here. 1 Quote
Popular Post Godsmack Posted March 23 Popular Post Posted March 23 Every team is different but I’m hoping UND can stew on this for a short while and then flush it and get back to work for the national tournament. I remember DU losing at home in the first round to CC about twenty years ago and then going on to win 4 straight in the national tournament. 1 6 Quote
