2024-25 University of North Dakota Hockey Season

Hopefully @brianvf will at least see a OT shootout win next weekend vs WMU when he travels out of this PHX weather to the cold in GF.

Berry has had nine years to put his stamp on the program, #culture #berryswoon, lots of firsts from Berry with his team and most are not good.

Call it a feeling. Felt this with Bubba and the football program as well this year. The social media spin (for Berry, regular season titles) won’t work anymore. Pattern becomes too obvious to ignore. It’s been too long and it’s beyond obvious it’s not working. 

Playoffs or we’ll see a new coaching staff next year. Long or short term gratification. We all know what’s best for the program long term. Loss by loss.

We’ve had some good portal players but I do agree. UND has been too reliant on the portal. Also go back to developing goalies instead of continually grabbing rentals. I’m not going to blame Hedquist one bit if he jumps ship from this dumpster fire at end of the season.

When we got Karl on staff I thought wow- will we develop the goalies - sadly it's been the opposite.  Time to clean house.

He put his stamp on the program....   if I knew how to make the 💩,  hey I found out the emoji thing...  now if I could coach I would apply.

So tonight is a must win to balance out the Pairwise drop?  More importantly come out and play 100 mph for a full sixty minutes.  Do that and we likely have a better result.

Petition the NCHC to wear the business suits at home next weekend after tonight’s sweep at the hands of ASU is complete?

Step away from the ledge...

[SIOUXELEVENS]

That ledge has broken off and fallen into the abyss.

This squad is offensively challenged.  They get shots but a lot aren't of the dangerous variety. Really lacks finishers outside of #9.

Jammernik on the breakaway last night was a good example of your last statement.

Well that definitely sucks.  Where are the Ledgies supposed to go?

Not sure the portal is the problem -maybe player assessment is

And especially player development once they’re here.

I'm just crossing my fingers for fireworks at least one of the nights.
Against 1st place WMU though?  Not looking good.

UND where good players come to play worse , Berrys style is 20 years or worse old, need an update

In the immortal words of Tom Petty.....     Free Fallin.   And it's already featured on MafiaMan's ipod

At this point a suspension for fighting would be a welcome change.  Maybe check a ref or something.

Blais must have been silently fuming in the stands last night.

he could get the team's attention I bet...

Wasn't the prettiest, but now a 3-way tie with ASU/WMU for 1st place in the league.  WMU in the driver's seat having played 2 less games.

Next weekend will be huge with WMU visiting the Ralph and ASU going to struggling SCSU for a pair.

Arizona State has only one win in the state of Minnesota

Maybe we need more Jammer like roughness: get in fights-get back to 3on 3 for more minutes. Seem to do well in league OT 3X3 so maybe try during regular minutes. (Sarcasm)
