UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

Re: UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

Big one tonight!

Hope the house is in order to start the New Year!

I see a big night from the P-P-P line....they are just about to catch fire!

Go Cats Go!
 
Re: UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

Now that non-conf play is over time to look at the season as a whole versus last year.

Record 13-6-2 (15-22-3)
League 5-3-1 (6-13-3)

D1 Ranks

Offense #15 3.38 (#53 2.15)
Defense #13 2.38 (#28 2.67)
Powerplay #20 19.8 (#57 10.9)
ShortHand #18 84.9 (#49 78.8)

Lekkas #12 GAA 2.12 92.3 save %

No player in top 75 in scoring
14 players between 15 and 7 points
Colton 15
Darrar 13*
Puffer 13*
Shaw 13
Mario 12
Privitera 12
Lodermeier 12
Hamilton 10*
Bradley 10
Forgione 9*
Alvaro 7
Muscoby 7*
ODonnel 7

* Already more than last year

Great start from the freshman class 17g & 35a

The only place that you could say they have underachieved is the scoring of the upperclassmen which can be partly blamed by the loss
of the first 4 games but also fault of the players themselves,

Several big wins so far 4-5-1 versus currently ranked teams and Michigan/Northeastern as well.

13 games to go I would think 7-8 wins gets VT into the tourney and 16 of 26 points gets the Cats home ice.

Re: UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

Nice win last night. A little ruff in the third but decent play in my opinion over all. How long has Bunyon been reffing? You wouldn't know it watching last night. Tough to get a good view as the live feed does not do replays. What gets me throughout the league is they call the ticky tac borderline penalties then fail to make the obvious calls and then wonder why the games get chippy....

I agree, nice win. This team has already matched its league wins from a year ago and we're not even halfway through the HE schedule. They've positioned themselves nicely for post-season so far. Hopefully they can keep it up. Go Cats!

Also just a win period away from last year's total (15)

His last name is pronounced "JEE-awsh-vee-lee," roughly. Джиошвили in Russian, the cluster Дж makes a sound similar to the g's in "Georgia". His brother Maxim plays in the Vityaz Podolsk system and played 4 games in the KHL this season.

...I'm a Russian minor and close follower of all things Russian hockey =P

Pronounced roughly "JEE-awsh-vee-lee" (it's Джиошвили in Russian, Дж makes a similar sound to the g's in "George"). His brother Maxim plays pro back in Russia in the Vityaz Podolsk system.

Re: UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

Den was definitely the right choice. Might've stop supporting UVM if they had called it The Ice Box.

Excited that we are entering the stretch run in Hockey East. This team really has a shot to make the tourney. Lekkas needs to keep it going (his save percentage is coming down to earth lately) and the PK seems to be having some problems. Great to see the balanced scoring and the freshman producing.

Is the coaching staff looking to add another D for next year? Seems like they only have 5 returning, plus Owen Grant coming. I would think that you'd want 8 D on your roster. It just seems strange that we could come in the year with 30 players and end up paper thin at a position.
 
Re: UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

The Den also had the backing of the SGA VP, so it was always going to win. A lot of us had informally called ourselves The Den since I got to campus (fall 2014), so this was a formality. Though getting a flag was pretty cool.

And I'm excited, but nervous, for this upcoming stretch. All the rest of the home games look winnable, but the road games worry me. PC coming up, they always seem to give us problems BUT they're playing their third and fourth games of the week, so they may be a bit tired
