InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 56 minutes ago, SIOUXELEVENS said: But most of those teams have multiple wins in the post season unlike our favorite team. I have said this before I think Berry puts way to much emphasis on the regular season box checking and they have nothing left in the tank. Should worry about playing their best hockey when it counts. His record is his. He has changed assistants , players etc with same results. Yeah I'd much rather have been to the Frozen Four a few times and lost to Quinnipiac in OT last year vs winning our title In 2016. Is that what we're saying? Feel like I'm being gaslit every time I come on this website because the bolded is exactly why everyone wanted to run Hakstol out of town. Now we're content hanging some postseason win banners even if it means a 20-30 year NCAA Title drought? 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I was one who wanted Hak out. I still believe that had he stayed on as coach there would not have been a Natty. Call it bad luck, a hot goalie, but something ALWAYS got in the way of a Title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXELEVENS Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 But now he can’t even win a post season game , they beat Omaha in St. Paul we play is Sioux Falls in front of a packed house full of UND fans. I think Berry is a great guy just not a good head coach (in the post season #penarose) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s just plain luck that DU beat SCSU in the Frozen Faceoff semifinal in OT, UMass in the regional semifinal in 2OT, and BU in the Frozen Four semifinal in OT while Hak is just cursed with bad luck and it was good that he left? But yet, there are plenty of Berry defenders blaming Covid, a game-delay against BU for a review, and UMD not having to play Michigan and getting some rest and parading these out as VALID excuses. Seems like something is ALWAYS getting in the way of an NCAA tournament win these days — or even a tournament appearance in 3 cases. But excuses are OK now ‘cuz 2016. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Oxbow6 Posted April 14 Popular Post Share Posted April 14 For DU to win that natty to get to 10 without a nap room, anti gravity beds, the Penrose and a portal goalie is pretty impressive. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think people care, we win the regular season. The scary part is DU can bring almost the whole team back ,one of the youngest in the NCAA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If fans were calling for Hakstol’s job due to lack of frozen four success it only makes sense for them to call for Berry’s job due to lack of NCAA tournament success altogether. In their eyes, the program has taken a step backwards. I haven’t seen anyone advocate for post season win banners, lol. They would, however, at least like to see the program get back to winning some NCAA playoff games. I know it’s the buzzword of the day, but I don’t see this as gaslighting at all. Their arguments are consistent. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams with an embarrassment of talent, riches and advantages. And all with a longer period of natty futility than UND, an apparent washed up has been. Shut them down. They should be ashamed of themselves. I was never in the fire Hak crowd, as I loved being relevant every year and having North Dakota being in the national spotlight. It certainly helps recruiting when you are in the Frozen Four every year and the media raves about the program. How many times do you hear North Dakota even mentioned during the tourney as a team that was going to be a significant threat? It also keeps the fanbase involved knowing their team is going to be competitive every year. People would make plans for regional tickets early on, and while many still do the same, most are making plans on how to sell their tickets because UND doesn’t make the tournament, or implode so they don’t get to their desired regional. So as long as the above schools don’t win a title, even though most of them have been quite relevant, we should be fine with not making the tournament or first round exits? No wonder people are fine with Denver winning it all, they have relegated themselves that UND will never catch Denver and Michigan to allow them to be considered the premier program in the country. Maybe we should cheer for Denver every year to make sure none of those other schools win it, so we can say 10 years down the road that at least those schools haven’t won it either. I get it, there are a lot of things that need to go right to win 4 games in the tournament very often, but there needs to be some expectation for a program like ours to make a run and win a couple games consistently. I don’t consider Air Force to be a team that we should need to catch for tourney wins over the last 7-8 years. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burd Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Before this thread dies out, congratulations to one of the best college hockey fans ever: Puck Swami. He has been a diehard Pio fan and a fan of all college hockey programs for a long, long time and is probably feeling pretty good right now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it consistent to under Hakstol saying we could never win the big one so he has to go, then turn around and say look at BU, BC, Mich, Mich St, Wisconsin, and Minnesota and at least they have tournament wins! You gotta follow the conversation, I wasn't comparing Hakstol to Berry but to all these other blue blood programs that haven't won a title for up to 26 freaking years. But at least they have some tournament wins, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Rieger Lorenz spent his whole post game interview where he could have talked about his goal instead praising his coach. Carle clearly connects with his players unlike anything we've ever had. Simpson is our equivalent alum ascendant in the world of coaching, please hold on to him.

The expectation should be have a good regular season, be in the hunt every season for the Penrose, in a 10 year span make 3-5 Frozen Fours with at least one title mixed in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJHovey Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I think Carle is a good coach. But what I’m reading here is virtually identical to what I read here about 5-6 years ago about Sandelin, who apparently became stupid and bad again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To your point, when people read ESPN today, they will be left with the understanding that college hockey titans are Denver (10), Michigan (9), Wisconsin (6), and the Boston schools tied at fourth with five titles a piece. I guess I’ll hang my hat on the fact they forgot Minnesota too, but no mention of North Dakota’s 8 titles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many coaches would love to have our budget, fanbase, and facilities. A big problem is that we don't see anything changing - just culture, culture, culture. Case in point - we have a top notch goalie coach yet we are on our 4th portal goalie. Meanwhile in Denver they had a goalie who developed in their system lead them to a championship. And I know we have a high school goalie in the system. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all that matters is national titles...all those teams have had the same success as UND in that timespan. Unless we're hanging banners for tourney appearances and tourney wins now.
