The sweep at home by CC, followed by the sweep at CC and then Omaha and the loss at the Frozen Faceoff, again to Omaha, were all pretty bad signs that we were trending in the wrong direction. It upsets me that this now seems like the norm with BB. I I hope he along with the rest of the coaching staff have some real difficult conversations b I’m normally really nervous leading up to and during the games. Didn’t have that feeling at all tonight. I didn’t think we would for sure win so wasn’t going to get worked up with high expectations. Sad that I didn’t have those expectations for this super talented team. Knew there was hope we could pull it off after getting down 2 goal all the way until those last seconds clicked off. Sad day I don’t expect us to make any deep runs anymore…….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s insane (for a program like ours). Yes, and most of us that have been defending Berry have pointed out some unusual circumstances and nice performances and said we’ll see how he does next time, especially in the tournament when that has always been the point of contention. Well, this game they had a chance to win one period and move on. Like I said, Berry knows the pressure that comes with coaching here, and he needs to own it, that they have peaked too early on many occasions and that his class management has been nothing short of horrible compared to Hakstol. Thankfully, it looks like it should be back on track with a few guys playing an extra year of juniors, and not needing the portal as extensively this year, but he still needs to find a way where they are playing so good at the end of the year that they can roll through league playoffs and a realistic run at the National Championship. We get that Berry is a players coach, but there needs to be more accountability and playing less favorites. Schmaltz playing in the last 3 minutes when you need a goal to tie seems a bit odd, considering his output. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 And there's no such thing as "get them next year" or "We have a young team" It's now: every year is basically a new team because of all the transfers. This year was not an exemption. It was the rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waiting for that In all seriousness I am not in the axe berry camp…because I’m not sure who they’d even replace him with (and he seems like an awesome guy). But can completely understand why someone would want to assess the situation. Some of the kool aid drinkers are hilarious.

Sioux>Bison Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 45 minutes ago, Big A HG said: It's never been about being right or wrong. It's about holding UND to the standard that it should be held to in the college hockey world. Just look at what Brad inherited and look what we've accomplished since. I can appreciate some NCHC titles, but I just don't those matter a ton. I'm not even expecting titles...too much puck luck in one-and-done format tourneys. What I want to see is having top-tier talent excited to play for our program. I want the national pundits to rave about UND like they used to. I want the fanbase to be excited out of their minds for two weeks with another pending trip to the Frozen Four even if it ends in tears. The Penrose is a slow burn that no one thinks about until you have the trophy. Hak also constantly lost elite talent to the NHL every year! Who has Berry lost early in comparison? Berry has his pick off the portal every year and still can’t win a tournament game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That used to be a staple of our teams and “culture”. Lesser talented teams have to "grind/cycle." Skilled teams use skill and don't "grind," it would be a waste of talent. All 8 games were more or less skilled vs grind teams....all close games...with all non grind teams winning. (Cornell vs Maine and Michigan vs UND = tossup....evenly matched) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still need guys that are hard to play against and can wear the other team down. We have a few, but not many Rylan Kaip or Rory McMahon types. Even Minnesota figured that out.

Seems worth it. Pretty much nailed it. The building and the amenities inside have eclipsed any accomplishments on the scoreboard. And yet nothing will change until attendance dwindles and interest wains. But why would attendance ever dwindle? The game night experience is second to none! It’s a weird conundrum.

Popular Post jk Posted March 30 Popular Post Share Posted March 30 Well, sometimes I think I was watching a different game. First, MI is really good. It's easy to see that their guys have that polish that points to an NHL future, just so fast and slick. But I thought through two periods UND had played a terrific defensive game. Not perfect, because the other team is good too and will have its moments, but how often did you see a developing chance for MI get thwarted by a backcheck or a seam pass get deflected? And how many times was Ludwig asked to make an exceptional save? I'm thinking it was never. This was night and day different from the last game against Omaha, where Hobey faced so many great chances. This'll be the more controversial part, but even when they got caved in to start the third, they actually still covered guys in the defensive zone and limited great chances. MI was going to push at some point, and they did, but the point is to survive those stretches until you can work out of it. MI's fourth goal was pretty, but their first three were hockey bounces, which UND got none of. I thought UND played solid playoff hockey tonight and deserved a better fate. The whole "have to play sixty minutes" thing is a joke. What is that, you have to dominate the other team for sixty minutes? Momentum changes in hockey, sometimes you have it, sometimes the other guys do. They got caved in by Denver in the semis in 2016 for the first 14 minutes of the third period, but they kept playing and came out the other side and eventually won. This team also turned the tide in the last third of the third, and had some terrific one-timer chances (that were better chances than almost anything MI had all game), but could not get them to go. The difference is that Denver didn't get a bunch of hockey bounces like MI did in this game. So, to summarize, I disagree with many here and thought they showed up and played hard and well against a very good team. I was down on their recent performances, but felt like they really turned it around tonight. Despite that, it wasn't meant to be. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky8701 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 That was the kind of game where a championship team gets a goal from a Schmaltz, Jamernik, James, Strinden, or Perron. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
