UVM 2017/18: A Gutt Check

Re: UVM 2017/18: A Gutt Check

Carlson's a good shout, I forgot about him. Colton seemed to like him quite a bit, when I talked to him before last season he gave a lot of credit for his drastic improvement to him.

Or as I said elsewhere, maybe the guy from Brooks in the AJHL, we recruit very heavily from there.

I just don't want another case of "choosing Sneddon over one of the best coaches of the last 30 years in Jeff Jackson"

Guys are gonna need to have college degrees which rules out lots of canadian junior coaches most are ex-CHL guys - also the Brooks guy is 33 unless hes a Lincoln Riley or brad Stevens he probably isn't a guy!
I would have loved to know how that committee passed over Jackson it better be Jackson said no because I agree that is real bad!
Gutted for Lamb injury! great player but at least I have some confidence in the basketball team's coach to keep them competitive!! No faith on the coaching on ice!

I also want to let you know that was a great job on the article! Ducharme worth the call as you say if he says no its okay but the call need to be made glad you took the Rolston idea to me he is going to be a top target for lots of programs and players like kids with experience in the pro game and even if he been out of college for a while has worked with the age group and at higher levels other schools have made it work and he'd be a great choice! Douclon and Fingerhut aren't going to be considered great at their level though for sure - the junior guy that gets the consideration be someone like Mark Carlson from Cedar Rapid of USHL
Maybe someone else like Don Granato who is an assistant with Blackhawks right now his brother is HC of Wisconsin and team USA where he was an assistant also was Head of USA U17-18 team and his niece is on UVM women team.

Left the game early and googled more hockey names sad this might be the highlight of the season! what do you take over/under team wins 3 more games whole year?@ if someone makes one of those online petitions to fire Sneddon Ill gladly sign it

Re: UVM 2017/18: A Gutt Check

Vlad really looked good. His linemates weren’t at his level. UVM out-chanced Harvard but couldn’t finish, I’d guess...8-10 quality chances on the doorstep. Wait, did Kaufman not dress?

He didn't, a decision that baffles me. This season is a lost cause. Why not play the guys who are going to be on your team in the long haul?

Re: UVM 2017/18: A Gutt Check

Yeah, they're just ideas with varying degrees of realism or risk. But hey, if I'm going to say "these are problems," I may as well offer possible solutions.

With Ducharme, there's always the chance his stock plummets if Canada flops in the WJC medal round. I see a lot of people blaming him for not playing Makar more at WJC and blaming him for taking Comtois (whose dirty hit changed the game yesterday) over guys like Glass and Tippett. I agree it's a long shot, but it's worth a shot, right?

Do agree HS coaches won't cut it in HE, I was largely spitballing guys who have a past with UVM, plus Rolston and Ellsworth whose names came up a lot this summer. Maybe Ryan Papaioannou from Brooks in the AJHL? We've taken how many recruits from there, why not add the coach too lol

WRT Quinn's BU assistants, I'm unsure. Yeah they can recruit, but BU gets caught up in playing pond hockey a lot where they try to just out-skill the other team. That might be more on Quinn though.

I'm listening on the radio and it sounds like Vlad and Frechette are playing well

Re: UVM 2017/18: A Gutt Check

So Brian Bowen is a healthy scratch...huh. Vlad looks good anyway. A few of these it’s who dress every game do basically nothing on the ice.

Sneddon said midweek everyone was healthy and accounted for

Blogpost taking a look at Sneddon's last 2+ years and offering some options for who could replace him. Shamelessly stole some from a list someone (VTALUM I think) posted in this thread.

Just read this. Agree with the other commenter -- great article!
