Interesting. I'm surprised to see St. Louis discussed as a possibility. I've never seen him discussed as a possible replacement, except by the UVM fans on this board. He's coached youth hockey and, of course, played under many talented coaches. How hard would it be to transfer that to a D1 head coach position? I don't know, I think it's certainly possible. I also think it would be a huge boon to recruiting. What young kid wouldn't be super impressed to have the legendary Martin St. Louis tell him "You're my guy. I want you, no check that, I need you at UVM!" It's a definite long shot, but it is an interesting possibility.

St Louis was doing some special teams consulting/coaching last year for the Columbus Blue Jackets

Such a long shot, but we can dream. Recruiting would be instantly through the roof. St. Louis, with Torrey Mitchel and Peter Lenes assisting. I’d pay just to watch the practices.

Best game I've seen UVM play this season. Nice effort on the back check to slow down Providence. I thought Dzhioshvili should have gotten the first star. Dzhioshvili /Boyko/Bouquot is going to be a fun line to watch next year.

The defense stepped up big after losing Evers in the first period to an unfortunate circumstance. A Providence player fell as Evers was hitting him going into the corner. Left the game and was in a sling in the stands for the 3rd period. No way for Evers to pull up from hitting.

I hope they keep the Connolly jerseys for the rest of the season

I am curious since you seem to be pushing Blasi's name a lot here is this based on anything? I don't see anything appealing in hiring him because he had one good season since 2013 and benefited a lot from the pre-NCHC era. Had a great run in CCHA but that was a long time ago and even if it was much better than Sneddon's run that's still someone living off accomplishments from 10 years ago like Sneddon did to keep his job for as long as he did. He would not be my first choice for the job and probably not my second or third personally.

What's the story with the Connolly jerseys? I saw that, but didn't hear the explanation for it.

Blast singlehandedly coast Miami the championship in 2015 by not taking a timeout. He explained his rationale. He was 100% wrong. He was never the same.

I think Jamie Sifers would be great. He has so much experience, is incredibly inspirational and just and all around great guy. I do think having a UVM alum would be great. Maybe he and Torrey. They both live here! They have had many coaches so know what works.
