UVM 2017/18: A Gutt Check

Re: UVM 2017/18: A Gutt Check

Just listened to the Coach’s show on 620-AM with Petty Sneddy. Why doesn’t anyone ask him serious questions? Like...why were you making your second leading scorer from last year’s team watch games from the stands? Do you realize he and Colton had the same number of points last season? Do you punish players with which you have a personality conflict? What do you think of Brady Shaw’s comments on Twitter about your extension? Have you given any consideration to resigning given the current state of the program? Why do so many of your players leave the program early? Why don’t your players progress from freshman year on? Do you believe line chemistry is important in hockey? And if so, how can you expect your lines to gel with you constantly shuffling?

This is by far the best line of questions assembled yet!!! Totally agree!!! Any chance you can get in the next session. :-)

Who was the host?

I won't say his name out of respect for him as I'm not sure what his current relationship with the station is - but he is a very passionate, 30+ year season ticket holder. Oddly enough, when I spoke to him recently he seems to have become a Sneddon defender or at least points more of the blame at the facilities and his perception of Vermont hockey as a once in a blue moon type of program.

Got it. Facilities I get. The once in a blue moon attitude is the small town UVM thinking I hate.

Totally agree. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.

In the end that's what upsets me the most as an alum and 30+ year fan. I'm not even asking them to succeed......I'm asking them to convince me they are trying to succeed.

Re: UVM 2017/18: A Gutt Check

i don't even think that argument holds up at this point. Since '09 they haven't finished in the top half of the HE standings even once. That's consistently being a bottom feeder even during the recent 20 win seasons where they were frequently ranked in the polls. In those years they would beat lesser teams and couldn't win against good teams. That is NOT success. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but yikes!

Women are at Minnesota for 2 games. Can be seen on BTN for $9.95 for both games. I believe it is the first time these teams have ever played. https://www.btn2go.com/game/vermont-...ta-on-01122018

They've been in a lengthy winless funk but they've looked decent after the holiday break (won 3 games in a tournament in Montreal and took a point from a very good Providence team last weekend). And that was all without Picard who *should* be back

IDK, I tend to be more positive towards the women's team, because under Plumer the program is at least going in a positive direction. This year's team is pretty young and has had a slew of injuries.

Only line tonight that has played together in a previous game is the Blanleil, Lodermeier, O'Neil line. The other three lines are new combinations.

I wonder how Bowen and Colton would mesh toget......nevermind! I’m watching online and really hoping these guys can overcome their coaching staff.

I chose to listen to the women's game instead. Much better use of my time.

Vlad watching from the stands. Unreal.

I've chosen right, men are (predictably) losing, women just went 1-0 up

Shulman is narrating a facilities improvement begging campaign between periods. Where do I send the check? Directly to Sneddy at the local watering hole?

Any fan who bought it is getting their money's worth.

Right now, second period... UVM 4, Minnesota 0. WOW.
