Re: UVM Catamounts 2019/20

Glanced at the game every now and again as I watched the Yankees game. Seemed like a typical UVM game of the last several seasons — we played pretty well, probably should have won, but ended up losing. Haven’t seen the stats, but the one thing that jumped out at me was the number of face-offs we lost.

truly typical indeed! heck even if they won remember they beat a rank Michigan team and we all thinking wow maybe they would be good and that did not turn out! of course tonight they get a team they should beat up on as PC hang 6 and shut out on St Lawrence but that could easy be a close game than think
Also notice on Clarkson Harald Egle - he played for Green Mtn Glades and was UVM commit and then UVM said he could not make the grades so he ends up at CLARKSON! haha okay Sneddy. Kid had a nice career there so lucky him!

Didn't watch because there were a lot more better sports options on last night but it looks like they had a hard time getting the win and were outplayed much of the game. Was 1-0 until an empty netter. Win is a win but that isn't convincing especially against a team that likely won't win many games in SLU. If they don't nab any wins next weekend I'll go out on a limb and say the apathy for the season will be already in late-season form.

First period was the worst period of hockey I have ever seen at Gutterson.

With Sneddon remaining at the helm, things will only get worse.

According to burlington free press Ted Ryan he says its because he has no NHL picks to help with the skill and thats why they lost this mans excuses keep being insanity! whos fault is that Sneddyboy? way to once more throw your team under bus the team you put together! just shows you the rumors are true he does not watch these guys until they arrive on campus probably! If they do not get it together against Quinnipac the season is already over! they might not win a game until December!

Re: UVM Catamounts 2019/20

I am really tired of hearing about how many shots the forwards blocked as if that is a good thing. Kind of like being excited that your safety is leading the team in tackles. A blocked shot has never won a hockey game. Goals win hockey games.

Regarding NHL picks, Misley is one as I recall. He came in with a lot of fanfare and has done squat under Sneddon’s tutelage.

Plus one NHL pick decommitted after KS elected to ditch Wallack. He's going to Harvard after winning the USHL scoring title. we could reaaaaaaaaaally have used a guy like that

Blocked shots are good... situationally. Like if the goalie's down and the net's ajar, you're obviously going to try your ****edest to keep the puck out. If you have a high volume of blocked shots, you don't have the puck, you're not generating chances, you're getting outplayed...

Just another lame argument from the guy. Since 2007-08 here are the draft picks he's had on his rosters:

Joe Fallon
Viktor Stalberg
Kyle Medvec
Drew MacKenzie
Matt Marshall
David Pacan
Connor Brickley
Michael Paliotta
Brett Bruneteau
Nick Lukko
Liam Coughlin
Ross Colton
Jake Massie
Bryce Misley

Fallon was great. Stalberg is still the best player he's ever gotten. Colton was very good but made the right call leaving the sinking ship. Paliotta was basically the reason that 2015 team has remotely decent. Brickley was squandered and guys like Medvec, MacKenzie, Massie, Lukko and Bruneteau were all very good to solid college hockey players. Matt Marshall absolutely stunk, and Misley is looking that way too. Pacan only lasted a year and got booted.

His Frozen Four year he had an undrafted NHL player in Miller and then count those guys like Strong, Carlson, Lenes, Vock, Brayden Irwin, Roloff, even guys like Milo and Jack Downing as forwards plus you had Dan Lawson along with MacKenzie and Medvec plus Pat Cullity and even Josh Burrows. Those are the guys who are the reason your team was good and they were skilled without being drafted. He stopped finding those types or basically stopped developing anyone like Shaw, Puskarich, Bradley, Bowen, etc. He can say all he wants the game has changed but if he hasn't adapted and is still holding onto another lame excuse that anyone can rebuttal it's just stupid at this point. The guy is just trying to use the same old tactics. I can't wait for him saying that Gutterson being under construction is hindering recruitment or player development next.

Right. NHL picks don't tell you who the best players are, they tell you who has a pro ceiling. Look at how good, say, Mankato has been with one or two draft picks on their roster at most vs. BU who has a gazillion. They're nice to have, don't get me wrong, but they're hardly indicative of what makes a good college team.

Good post!

Re: UVM Catamounts 2019/20

Thank you for posting that! could go back even far back to show good Cats teams didn't have the big picks and still did well..best players in program history were not drafted! Sneddons damage to the program beyond point of repair! UVM never rely on big draft pick kids but he cant even get into conversation with them on recruit trail because those kid family advisers know he is NOT the man to help them get to next level and will ruin chances they have at being NHL pro! worse the talent kids who do not get draft picked also are told do not go to UVM because you will not get your game better to be a chance to sign as free agent NHL pro! Kids want to play at next level and he cannot get them there so they do not choose UVM unless they have no choice like getting over recruited by a BC very clear coaches have no idea what to find on recruit trail and cannot build team that has consistent identity that grow! every senior class gets worse outside Lekkas none these seniors will probably get anything more than AHL cup of cofee when your progam has 1 everyday NHL player that played for Sneddon which is Kevan Miller who is hurt right now but he is usually a a guy who plays most games
Modern college coach has to be trusted to prep men for the pros and make them better players so they have more playing chances in pro at highest leagues and obvious NHL and advisers do not believe he can do it and hes shown proven results he cannot because the program suffer for it!
