Has a year to prove me wrong. So if another year isn’t going to make a difference in development, why not start getting paid in the AHL or another league before deciding if you would want to go to Europe or something. Even those scenarios pay pretty well compared to what the average guy makes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think he may be a better fit for pro hockey than Blake is at this current point due to his physical capabilities 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a nice shot though. To me, I can see why Blake would sign. I can rationalize it. If Berg signs, that would make absolutely zero sense. Basically means he doesn’t want to do school anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxweet Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 For those who want Berry gone. John Calipari has a blueprint of how this can happen.

After feeling not appreciated leave for a lesser job(Calipari going to Arkansas, Berry goes to Bemidji to coach their women's program? ) Berry is the epitome of Calipari in hockey. They both can recruit great talent for universities with a rich history in their sports and both have all the bells & whistles at their disposal for player development and comfort. Unfortunately they both are 1 and done when it comes to the playoffs. I'll take a coach like Nate Oats from Alabama or Sandelin from UMD. They get talent, and not always the best talent on paper, but are somehow able to get the most out of their players when it counts. That's the mark of good coaching - but it's just my opinion. This next year will be Berry's test as he is most definitely on the hot seat. With a pretty good class of recruits and returning players, they should have a good run into the NCAA tournament. Any scenario that has the Sioux missing the playoffs or losing in the 1st round, I just can't see him coming back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the point of the comparison of Berry and Calipari is that the Kentucky's alumni where looking to move on from Calipari, and he made the jump before it came to fruition. Berry might not get canned, but who's to say he might not move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 If the other Bubba got extended, chances are Berry would be too. I think we could go down the same path for the next 6 years and not win a tourney game and there wouldn't be an impetus to change as long as we make the tourney half the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCAA Hockey Tournament is the biggest crap shoot out of the 4 major sports. The 2019 championship Duluth won, they got a goal late to tie Bowling Green and beat them in OT in the first round. In 2018 they needed help to sneak in the tournament and then bounced Mankato in OT in the first round and then went on for 3 consecutive 2-1 wins. One bad bounce in each of those years and we aren't having this discussion that Sandelin is the savior. My point is not always the best or most talented team wins in the college hockey playoff format. Look at UND 2010-2011 team had 32 wins, third most at the time in program history, outshot Michigan 2 to 1 in the frozen four and ran into a hot goalie. UMD is dumpster fire with other issues off the ice. I would much rather be a Sioux fan... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunate for us, but it’s been proven with this AD & administration that performance doesn’t matter. All we can do is hope for the best.

I'll give you that, but personally I think with all of the recruiting advantages and the portal advantages, I can think of a handful of ex-UND players that could produce the same results we are seeing now.
