Re: UVM Offseason Thread- Summer 2013
You should come watch a few games. There are some nights where the Power play averages less then a shot/man advantage. If they are trying their hardest they are confused about how goals are actually scored. There are no points for passing it back and forth.
I agree, chemistry is absolutely key. That's another key aspect of "coaching" the power play. Systems are meant to be broken, but you do need to at least start with one in order to be able to break it.
I believe I speak for everyone on this board when I say I sure hope that our AC's have great success through coaching and recruiting that will allow UVM to have even a mediocre power play for the up coming season. But, I'm not holding my breath. History has a way...

With all due respect, lets not take "Peter" Wallack's advise on what makes a good power play and deflect it all off of the coaches. UVM has plenty of skill and talent right now. We need a deeper investigation here to make certain this is not counter intelligence.
If this guy is truly "Peter" and not someone else, say with a name like Kyle, Bob, Kevin or something like that, then there is a reason he is coaching hockey in Florida because a genius mind of the power play such as he is proclaiming to have surely would have risen to coaching greatness unless of course he just never had any talent to exploit. I think we should get Gary Wright's opinion...after all he is a Catamount. I have contacts that say the "Peter" Wallack that they know would never participate in hockey board bantor and never proclaim his son to be the architect for Yale's NCAA Hockey National Championship so I am just a little suspicious. But this sure is fun. Anyone know Gary Wright? If so lets get a statement and "clear" all this air.

Re: UVM Offseason Thread- Summer 2013
It's not at the expense of the rest of the game, it's just THE GLARING issue that consistently plauges the Cats no matter who they have on the roster. Even though 5 UVM players from the past 6-7 years have stepped out on to NHL ice, we havn't seen a PP over 20% since 2006, and average less then 15%. In no season that Sneddon has been coached has UVM averaged a power play goal / game. I wish the information was handy, but I'm willing to bet a pretty penny that UVM takes more shots / min off 5 on 5 ice time, then it does during power play ice time. Heck, I'd be willing to bet a crusty, old tarnished penny that there are more shots on goal / min short handed then on the power play. It's just glaring.
That said, the club has other issues to work on, defense needs to be better... a few guys need to step it up, but all in all it has the makings of a solid club, with a little extra push from say the power play and...

NCCA Compliance must have stepped in
..like I said, I don't think Peter was actually Peter. History has a way of repeating itself.

Probably not. He did interject some liveliness into a dull time of the year though

Re: UVM Offseason Thread- Summer 2013
That is very true! I think "Peter" was actually someone very insecure with a name like "Kyle" or something like that.

Re: UVM Offseason Thread- Summer 2013
I'm kinda missing that ****** bag UMLFan.
It seems to me that if your team is really really good or really really bad that's when there aren't any flamefests. Sadly, we aren't really really good... and the only teams in our section of the league fired both Cronin and Whitehead... so theres not even good material to use in a flame fest any ways.
Alas, its a long summer...

What did UMLFan do to you? He's a pretty nice guy, actually.

Oh and apologise to UML Fan I do indeed like him...

***... here I was thinking we were finally cool after your first few (rough) months on the board. I'll be sure to include you at the top of my worst elephant walker list.

What is all this bashing going on. It is so unbecoming. Can't we assume good intent, talk positively and factually? Yes opinions are okay without name calling, etc Let's focus on supporting our team in any way we can. I'd like to think
this is the reason we have this forum.
