I'm not here for you, buddy.  I was going to go off, but I won't.  If you have pride in a team that plays in a league that nobody cares about, that isn't truly D1...good for you.

Fascinating to see how much is BS vs legit. By all accounts, this off-season will be a complete disaster if Berry is retained. Only chance they have is to move quickly from him. Start the clock at 48 hours.

So nobody cares about UND hockey and the nchc isn't truly D1 ??

Nationally there is a big bias towards hoops and football.  NFL talent like Carson Wentz...how about NHL talent like Johnny f'ing Toews

Because NFL football is MUCH more popular than hockey. 
Example: they have whole events and talk about the NFL draft for months and you’d be lucky to hear about the NHL draft.

Nothing to do with either....was about FCS and NDSU FB if I'm reading the tea leaves correctly.

Everyone is a little ornery today. I get it. Things are not good right now.

Worth noting, this is not normal. Completely different than any other year I’ve seen.

Berry & company are bringing in talent. 

however   

Berry & company are not doing a good job of coaching and developing talent   

 

IMHO new blood in coaching will still bring in talent and probably do a better job of coaching talent.
 

Time for a change with folks outside of the UND gene pool.  
 

Again,  just my opinion

We have now missed the NC$$ tourney in 4 of the past 8 seasons, including 2 of the last 3.

It is definitely time for a head coaching change. Berry’s had 10 years and multiple chances to fix things. Instead the program sinks further and further from elite status.

Chaves screwed up with keeping a football coach too long and he’s doing the same with the hockey program. Great leadership.

I’m had to apologize to a few people for being ornery last night, it’s understandable. Tough for another season to end this way. 
 

My prediction: Berry gets 1 season to make a frozen four or he’s done. One of my friends said he has a weird feeling they get rid of him, no reasoning just a feeling. We shall see

If they're gonna get rid of him before next season...it needs to happen soon, like in the next week.
Then you need to have a replacement lined up (something that would have already been in process if the admin was serious about making a change), then work on retaining players & recruits.

I agree with @InHeavenThereIsNoBeer, I think Berry is given one more season to ride out the end of his contract.
We'll see how this goes.  I'm not very confident in anything with the program at the moment.

These white banners are starting to feel like "participation banners" with Berry's record in the NCAAs and missing the NCAAs. 

A change is needed and I'm all for someone with no ties to UND. But having an actual national search is needed not like when Hak left and just promote the associate head coach.

I mean… I’d take a national title in their 1st year 😁

NDSU doesnt play big time football...they are 2nd tier.  Imagine NDSU vs Michigan or Ohio State

Yeah but they have produced way too many 1st round NFL picks that it’s hard to say they are second tier. Their name, their brand, has become statewide and nationwide while UND has become irrelevant.

Sadly more people watch that second tier league than d1 college hockey……

And let's be honest, college hockey is so irrelevant in the national picture there isn't enough interest/teams to even have a "second tier."

Only 60ish D1 schools. The same amount of teams in March Madness.

And there's no D2 hockey, so "second tier sport schools" get to play "first tier hockey" only because of lack of national interest.
