Are we certain they chanted this?   I heard some were chanting "We want Hobie"!     Did they chant both things, or did people hear "Fire Berry" when it was actually "We want Hobie"?

How do those 2 things even remotely sound similar that one could confuse them? 

Both things were chanted.

I wasn't there, @Oxbow6 was the first to report this as his seats are right by the student section.  @brianvf may have riled him up though.

I kept telling him over and over about how the xG showed that UND should be winning 4-2, but yet UND was losing 5-1 on the scoreboard.
He went ballistic.

So, essentially, if Berry is still coach, you're writing off next season already as well?
Just don't want to get my hopiums up for no reason.  ;)

There's an old saying that you can't fix problems with the same people who created them. 

If the team has been having problems with consistency going on 10 months now, what gives anyone the impression that it'll be magically solved next year with the same coaching staff? It's baffling that no one on the staff can fix this core issue..it just goes on & on & on...These disappearing acts for many minutes at a time have become an entrenched pattern with the team, not just a couple of isolated incidents. 

Another issue I have with BB is his line-ups. Last Friday he could have dressed Croal & gotten a solid 8-10 minutes out of him that night, with him shadowing & possibly neutralizing Bump. What does he do though? He dresses Montgomery who players under a minute. It's BB's job to put the most talented team on the ice every night, & he failed to do that Friday.

He also has been showing a clear preference for TJ most of the year, not developing HH who has better numbers & who possibly has a higher ceiling than TJ. Finally, not disciplining Kunz last weekend sends the message to the locker room that there will be no consequences for players who cause the team to lose. A head coach who is unable to discipline players fairly & evenly across the board when needed will eventually lose respect from his team & be viewed as a paper tiger. These examples call into question his decision-making, or his favoritism, towards certain players.

I was in 106 and Oxbow is correct. They chanted both.

How do we know that Kunz wasn’t disciplined?

well it didn't impact his ice time.  Of course, Jammer's major against ASU didn't really cost him either.

The student section has quite the dilemma then, because the next coach might not be as receptive to the "Sioux Forever" chant!

So now the tail wags the dog ? If that’s how Berry coaches no wonder we are in the shape we are. When Blais was recruiting Ryan potulney his father said you need to take Grant or you get neither, Blais told him I decide who plays here not parents.

So if Berry did that, and our biggest rival won two National Championships because of it, you would never let him forget that.  Probably lost out on 3 great college players because of that, because UND probably would have got Danny Irmen as well.

was a head scratcher, for sure..Grant was a solid player, a little older than average, but solid...seems like taking him to get Ryan would be a no brainer.  although, i believe, that Ryan regressed at UM way more than any one could have ever foreseen

When did Ryan commit to Minnesota, because I believe he was 16 when Grant was already with the gophers.

that im not sure...i remember him being one of, if not thee number one 16 year old prospect at the time.  not sure where Grant was at that time.  He was a bit of a late bloomer, in the hockey world
