If not, then your claim has no teeth. Has nothing to do with a pissing match, genuinely curious why Berry is a great coach in your eyes. I agree also that Berry is a good, but not great, coach. Appreciate your honesty. I really don't have to do anything, no. I'm not trying to argue anything. I just don't want to talk about it because, for a third time, whatever my opinion is doesn't really matter because he is absolutely not going anywhere.

Was simply looking for what qualifies a D1 hockey coach as great. If a person can make that claim about the current coach but not back it up, then they prove nothing. And double-spaced is fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that this extended wait is going to hurt even more should 1 or both sign. It gets our hopes up a little, then BAM, the depression kicks in all the harder. Like someone mentioned earlier, just pull the dang ripcord already so Sioux fans can start worrying about where the offensive production will come next season!

The Sicatoka Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I'm spending my time perusing the portal page pondering possibilities and potentials of players possible to put in an appearance playing puck profoundly for UND. And I'm working on my alliteration skills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thUNDer Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 3 hours ago, RhettRingers said: You're comparing basketball to hockey.... 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... Here’s a comparison for ya …… NC$$ D1 basketball has 351 teams & counting, D1 hockey, 64 & counting. C’mon people, enjoy what UND has. Kentucky only has bouncy ball really and IMO, their alumni can’t hold a candle to ours in support of our Alma Mater, be it hockey, fb, bb, or whatever.

Kentucky has high expectations of their MBB program, just like UND has high expectations of their hockey program. Calipari's one-year freshmen NBA Lottery Picks weren't yielding the results they had hoped, which is probably one reason he is no longer there.

thUNDer Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Just wondering where allegiances lie. Know several alums, on this board & around the Midwest are offended from bashing individuals (players/coaches) & the negativity + sense of entitlement some choose to hold on to. Time to move on, it is what it is, our storied hockey program will go on with life in general. My only entitlement is that dinky social check 1x/mo. I’ll hang up now & listen.

If the alums you know (on this board and around the Midwest) are offended with criticism of the program, then they probably really don't care about the program. The ones who criticize the program are fully invested and want the program to succeed and what is a good measurement of success? winning post season games and championships. I would like to think that most fans understand we are not going to win a Natty every year but winning post season games should be the expectation and the program has not done that. For a program like ours, we shouldn't have only ONE victory in the post season (against AIC) since 2016. Currently we are the "lousiest of the best and the best of the lousiest" and that just does not cut it at a program like UND's. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, now listen to this: It is totally fair to point out our postseason meltdowns. If the coaching staff is offended, then they need to get into a different line of work. My position is it isn't a lack of talent, it's from the neck up. Berry and his staff need to figure out why this team loses its edge after clinching the Penrose. And if that makes me "entitled", then so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
