Re: Lowell @ UVM - Jan 11-12
Congratulations, you guys deserved it and "should" have won both games. In fact, I think I'll add every other team in HE to the list of teams that "should" beat us, except maybe Northeastern and Maine. While, I do believe UVM has some talented players, they weren't prepared to "win" coming into this weekend. They won't be able to beat anyone with undisciplined play, defensive breakdowns, poor penalty kill, and allowing occasional soft goals. While Hoffman can be a good goalie, I think for right now at least, he needs to rotate with someone. Apparently Faust is not ready for prime-time and can't fill that role. So for right now, we have to live with Hoffman having some off nights. Overall, you have to put the responsibility for UVM's poor performance on the coaching staff, and Sneddon in particular as head coach. I've been down on Sneddon in recent years, and if they miss the playoffs again this season, I'll most certainly be calling for his head. In fact, at this point, I'm kind of feeling that the only things that are going to turn this program around are either a new coach or a new rink. Don't see either of those happening any time soon, so for now I'll have to be content with mediocrity, or worse. Although you won't need it, good luck the rest of the way.
