The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

Re: The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

I remember reading an interview with Sneddon a couple of years ago saying how much he loved the state of Vermont and the quality of life that goes with it. I don't know if his feelings have changed but I am surprised by all these defections/suspensions. I watched Kevin play for four years at Harvard and he was one of our steadier defensemen. Not spectacular but he never panicked with or without the puck.

As a diehard Crimson fan, I wouldn't mind Kevin coming to Cambridge to coach the team but only if he was free to do so. I would not want him to break a contract. I've met and talked to Teddy D on a couple of occasions and I know how hard the losing has been on him. He admitted in an article written in the Boston Globe that running a D-1 program was more than he anticipated when he took the job. Perhaps someone with Kevin's experience in a tougher conference will help us if Harvard decides that Teddy can't handle the job anymore.

Yup, clearly he is leaving after the season. Heck probably won't even finish the season, just up and quit with a few more bad losses. I'm sure Donato is trying to enjoy his last few days on the bench...

You have been bantering about how he signed in August, I merely was showing you you were incorrect. Tell me why it's unreasonable to show you were wrong. His last extension was signed before the last year of his deal. He is now in the last year of his deal. If it was such a done deal he would have signed last August. He didn't. I am not saying he is leaving, but I don't understand why the extension was not done last summer.
 
Re: The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

why would anyone wnat him? His team is awful this year and he keeps kicking guys off the team. That doesn't sound like someone I would want in charge if I was Harvard or anyone else

Right, and you also weren't saying that he can't recruit character guys, wasn't disillusioned, and wasn't feeling the call of Harvard. In fact you weren't saying much of anything. On a positive note we can all agree about that.

Jerk*&^ he signed in August before the final year of his contract. This is the final year of his contract. If we followed your theory, he would have signed in August 2010. So when the season ends in March of this year he has no contract. You are a tool.


I didn't say he couldn't get character guys, I said he would get higher character guys at Harvard. Their standards are higher then UVM's (i think the entire board would agree with that). I think he may be feeling the call of Harvard. His family spent the weekend of Northeastern in Boston with the team. I go to many away games. First time I have seen her there. Coincidence that it was Boston???? I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

Where do you get your info? I heard from a good source he is signed to 2014?
 
Re: The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

nice effort and execution tonight for the fella's. They seemed more engaged tonight, seemed more excited about the goals scored, and real happy at the buzzer with the W. They have a long climb and will have to continue to outwork teams for wins but maybe with the tension of the Stacey issues behind them a weight has been lifted and they can play loose. what a difference in the team when Lawson gets involved, if he could only be a dominant force every night like we've seen from time to time he can lift a whole team.

If i could find something that says he's good to 2014 I'd be more comfortable, but with all these sites, USCHO, INCH and College Hockey News not one has any mention of an extension to 2014.

:confused::confused::confused:

Grantfan, hopefully this will end your nonsensical speculation

"Corran confirmed Friday that Sneddon is under contract until Dec. 31, 2014, "

Re: The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

Much needed win by the Cats. Hopefully they continue the strong defensive play and come out swinging tonight and grab another 2pts.
 
Re: The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

I agree with the comments that the energy looked better last night. I have been waiting to see Brickley show us more and last night he seemed to just want it a bit more than the past. Madore continues to look very good. Agree on the comment about Lawson.
 
Re: The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

Poor outing for the Cats tonight.

I though goal one was a defensive lapse, at least from my seats. Goal two looked a bit soft, Goal 3 another defensive lapse, Goal 4 Madore had no chance, goal 5 ughh

Team struggled from the net out, Madore was on his game, the D left way too many people open out in front, and the offense showed brief spurts but was pretty ineffective for the most part. Vazzano wasn't really tested but made some saves and got some ice time. The thing that really stands out to me is the lack of accepting a pass. UVM really has a hard time with a clean tape to tape pass.

Any UMA fans that read this... Does Dainton stray out of the net all the time? He very nearly gave away a goal on several occassions and got a little battered in the process. I used to cringe when Spillane did that sort of thing. The cats really need to be better at crisp clean passes, settling pucks and shooting if they can't make good passes.

Positive note, nice to meet Martin St Louis Fan and Catlover.

Also, on a positive note, I really like the play of Matt White, he plays a solid game and shoots the puck. Brickley is high energy, physical and gritty, but he also has alot of skill but he needs to be more offensive minded. With the season more or less shot, Sneddon needs to start working in next years players. Mackenzie and Franzon will be around along with Bruneteau, outside of that there will be some Frosh that need contribute. Right now Griem hasnt seen a lot of ice time, would seem to a smart move to get him some ice time so there are 4 defense man that are ready to go.

Great to meet you too! Glad you were able to win MacKenzie's jersey without too many people bidding you up!
I was able to score DeCenzo's jersey, and Cat Lover won Burrows. What a great fundraiser and a better cause!

Congrats to all of you guys for getting those jerseys and especially JC for getting that Mackenzie jersey he (or... his daughter) was really hoping for. And also congrats for helping raise funds for that great cause.
 
Re: The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

No one answered my question as to why Harvard or anyone else would want your coach--the team is doing poorly and he keeps booting good players off the team -- basically treating young men who love the game of hockey like expendable pawns. Why do people have such great respect for people they don't know personally. If you don't know someone it is dangerouus to assume that just because they got to a position of some authority that they are great people and are making good decisions. From a distance Sneddon seems like a very decent and balanced guy but that's true for most college coaches. We don't know the real story and the history of rejecting players when times are tough is casue for concern.

Why do you assume I don't know him personally ? I have spoken to him numerous times. After home games, , at the hotel on road trips, etc.. Burlington is such a small community, you see him everywhere, and he is always willing with speak with you.
I may not be buddies with him, but he loves talking to fans, and you feel like you know him pretty well from theses experiences.

Here is Sneddon for you.........Back during Sneddon's first season with Vermont me and Martin St Louis fan were making our annual roadtrip to RPI/Union,
we arrive at our hotel the afternoon before Friday's game and are at the front desk checking in while the team is all sitting in the lobby waiting to bus to the
game, Sneddon seeing us in UVM sweatshirts comes up to the front desk and talks to us thanking us for supporting the team. Sneddon has always shown he
has time to talk to true VT fans and I am been lucky to talk with him on several occasions home and away over his time here.
