Re: 2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread : The Sequel
I was at both games this weekend and the word that was going around was:
Milo sat because of a attitude issue, not sure what.
Stacey is most likely gone for the season due to a high ankle sprain.
MacKenzie was out because of an illness.
As far as the games it was a terrible exhibition. Sneddon got out coached. He made his defensemen chase around a cherry picker all night eliminating them from any kind of offensive play. Totally the wrong call.
That is pee-wee hockey, when you get to the college level everyone knows that you take the the man advantage and make them pay. Score a goal and they will stop that crap. The chances of Merrimack hitting that long pass under the duress of playing a man short is miniscule, and even if they do the guy still has to beat Madore with a bunch of our "D" bearing down on him, and that isn't the easiest thing to do.
That style of play only works if you fall for it and Sneddon did. C'mon Man!
Sneddon keeps making the wrong moves with this team. Long shifts and selfish play are holding this team back.
Sneddon is clearly playing favorites, Burrows, Stacey, Higgins, Leonard, Downing and Lawson to name a few, have struggled this year and they have been benched because of it.
Cullity and Miller are clearly struggling and Sneddon seems to be okay with that. They are excellent players that need a major wake up call. I think Miller was on the ice for every goal this weekend and you would have to check but I think he was on the ice for every goal last weekend as well.
The coaches have to pick it up and start fixing the little things, stop with the **** favortism. Hold every player accountable to the same standard.
The players have to start playing better hockey. I would love to hear how many turnovers we had this weekend.
This team can do it. They just need to put aside their egos,
