There's a lot of guys that carved out pretty good college careers at UND and got an education years back that probably would have been jettisoned for a bright shinier toy with the portal as it is now.

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.

Ok, I get it, never said any coaches would be offended but alums. Class of ‘77 here & proud of it as are my classmates, friends & family. Got no beef with you personally, all good.

Fair enough. Class of 1998 and 2000. Love UND and always will. Long live the Fighting Sioux/Hawks.

Over your head.  You probably weren’t even alive.

Come now, Mr. Agnew, good vibes only.

 Asking for a definition of what a great college hockey coach is was an innocent enough question, or so I thought, & I was genuinely curious in reading people's opinions. It had the opposite effect of triggering some into thinking their coach was being attacked. Funny how the mind works sometimes.

Try again. Just all done with the same conversation on the repeat for 15 pages. It's really not a hard concept.

Lol. I 've been chuckling at some of the responses to your question.  It did, indeed, seem to trigger some folks.  They refuse to answer because they don't want to "go in circles" only to go in circles with you about why they don't need to answer.

If you can't answer the question, why such urgency to respond and go in the circles you wanted to avoid in the first place?  Repeatedly.  Lol.  Yes, funny how their minds' work.

Every postseason thread since 2017 has been going in circles unfortunately.  ;) :) 

It's nauseating,  makes me wonder why I come here...   I hear this Instagram thing is a good time, #alternatives.

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? ):D

Scanlan stepping down as head coach of Bemidji State Women’s Hockey program - Bemidji State University (bsubeavers.com)

 

Do you have inside knowledge? :D

If one can keep a lighthearted approach, there is comedic gold to be found in some of these replies. Like most here, am focused on the Blake situation but got sidetracked into this dead-end.

Agreed, and by the same token, players are voluntarily leaving programs who could carve out a pretty good college career and get an education because they believe there is a brighter shinier toy elsewhere.

Maybe he's anxious to start his pro career.  I can't blame him for doing what he thinks is best for him.

That doesn't mean it's going to work out like he thinks. He is now just a piece of meat to be used however the Hurricanes want. I would have held their feet to the fire and demanded a rookie maximum contract. He had all the leverage and he gave it away. He needs an agent that knows how to negotiate contracts.

I hope he is successful, but I am a skeptic at this point. He is not Jonathan Toews.

What do you think? Do we get another portal forward with Blake signing today?

I would sure hope so. None of our younger commits are ready I don’t believe.

They don't seem to have a choice. They do appear to have only 3 Freshman that are truly ready to go next year. Love Klee's upside and I think he'll have a huge year in the USHL, but I would send him back. Same with Littler. His development this year probably wasn't what anyone expected.

My ideal F roster, given where we are today.

SR. (5) Berg, Kunz, Jamernik, Schmaltz, Wilkie

JR. (4) James, McLaughlin, Montgomery, Strinden

SO. (1) Perron 

FR. (3) Boisvert, Croal, Swanson

 

Additions. (1) Depth Freshman Forward (2) Highest Portal SO / JR you can find
