Vermont Hockey: Taking No Prisoners In 2012-2013

It's harder to score on pp when your best guys are not out there. Both Fallon and Reynolds were on bench for 5-3??? Joke. Complete joke
Paliotta needs to be tough before the whistle blows. That would help his effectiveness.

Why would Sneddon reel it in... They weren't winning the series, are you suggesting they should have rolled over and let BC skate up and down the ice? If you aren't going to win, you battle it out...play HARD! Wear on your opponent and exact A price for the win. Not goon it up and take cheap shots, but that doesn't mean you should give an inch either. Not having seen the two at Conte, I can't comment too much,however I haven't seen a game where the Cats actually took a bunch a cheap shots throughout the game. Playing aggressive is what they needed to do and they did it. The refs this year have been pansies with penalties and at times its like watching a women's game. You do however have a point, they need to adjust to the way the game is being called. However, if your shot at winning is grinding, hitting and wearing the other team down do you adjust or take the penalties and hope it pays off before the game ends? Sneddon may have made the wrong call, but I'm sure he had control of the team and a strategy, even if it wasn't working.
Yes, 12" of snow today and the courses are in fact covered. Maybe down to grass by Sat. but won't be playable for another month at least.

I didn't see Saturday's game, but I'll have to disagree with this characterization, at least in terms of Friday's game. Both UVM goals in the 3rd period were good wrist shots that clearly beat Milner, as opposed to shots they managed to "chip in." And actually, I thought they had plenty of good scoring chances the first two periods, but in typical UVM fashion, weren't able to cash in. I had a feeling it was gonna be one of those games when Polesello failed to score on two shots early in the game when he was all alone at the side of the net and just had to lift the puck over Milner. Like I said, I didn't see Saturday's game, but from the description, it sounds like it was a lot like the Saturday game from the week before. If so, not a very smart style of play by the Cats in my opinion.

Re: Vermont Hockey: Taking No Prisoners In 2012-2013
Who else? In the past, hasn't there been some talk of Paliotta leaving early? DeCenzo maybe? Brickley maybe? I totally don't see Brickley leaving, as he's never been much of a factor at the college level. Any other possibilities? Personally, I'll think we'll have everyone back next season.
Speaking of which, who do y'all think are potential candidates for early departure? The obvious one is McCarthy since he's a senior. But he has a year of eligibility remaining and wasn't honored with the other players at senior night. As the clear MVP of this team, his loss would be every bit as devastating, if not more so, as the early departure of Sebastian Stalberg last year. I think he'll be back.

well, stick a fork in this season. Much better than last season though. Most of the games were close and better hockey than last year. Not losing much too graduation and as long as McCarthy and Fallon stick around I think we will be better next year. Need more depth at forward still (what happened to Massar???) and a couple of extra D (we were lucky no major D injuries all season with seven on the roster). Need some help up front from next years freshman class. Also would be nice to see Hoffman get a bit quicker side to side, if he gradually improves over his career he could be a .920 save % goalie. I look for them to move up into contention for the last home ice spot next year. Good luck to the seniors. I don't see anyone leaving early and other than McCarthy and Fallon I would not be worried about it anyway brickley's game dropped off a lot this year I thought, injuries have taken a toll. I hope he comes back and puts together a huge season next year.

Sneddon would be my choice. Sadly, I just don't think he can bring a winning "culture" to the program. Maybe if he gets some new ideas from an assistant there is hope but up to now he seems to frustrate his players until they either rebel or leave.

Just a figure of speech. All 3 of UVM's goals this weekend were right in front of me.

Also fair to say Friday and Saturday's games were very different despite the similar scores

Re: Vermont Hockey: Taking No Prisoners In 2012-2013
I did not see Saturday's game but it does sound like a different game. Friday Vermont played pretty well 5v5 and just had a pathetic power play. BC actually had more penalties than Vermont on Friday. Not sure I would have changed the game plan to what sounds like a extremely aggressive checking game? Usually that leads to UVM picking up penalties and taking themselves out of position because they are trying so hard to dish out hits. I will also say in watching HE games this year the refs call pretty much anything that even looks like close to a bad hit. A lot players turning their backs last second and folding like paper machete. Sneddon needs to adjust for that as it has been called this way all season unfortunately (not necessarily for the betterment of HE).
On departures my only concern would be if any leave thinking they can get better development in the minors than at UVM (Brickley, Reynolds???) since they haven't blossomed to this point.

They released a preliminary Hockey East League schedule for next season today in Boston ... The league goes to two games vs each league opponent next year instead of three ... 14 non-league games instead of seven ... Vermont will open Hockey East play by hosting Notre Dame's Hockey East debut the first weekend of November at the Gutt ... the Cats are also apparently on North Dakota's schedule for a trip out there in October ... the preliminary schedule is below!

Well at least we get to ease into the season with the game versus "First allowable day to practice" thou I've never heard of them.
Also want some fun go look in the BC thread and see the BC fans complain about diving. Poor Johnny.

Regarding Notre Dame, I'm really looking forward to having them in the league. And, again, have we ever played them before? I can't recall having played either team. Hopefully we can make their first visit to The Gut something they'll remember, and not in a good way.
Thanks for the info PuckVoice. It sounds like the coming season will be the "Year of ND" for us, with the two games at North Dakota, and then our first league games against Notre Dame. Have we ever played North Dakota before? And I wonder if we can assume North Dakota will be making a trip to Burlington for two in 2014?

Johnny was very bad
Made a dumb play that was sad
And J.D. is here to cry
As BC kisses the league title goodbye
Its now plain for all to see
Thats the fault all lies with J.D.

Re: Vermont Hockey: Taking No Prisoners In 2012-2013
I absolutely detest the decision to add UConn however. It makes no sense from a hockey standpoint, but I guess I can understand it from the standpoint that they're a state university and will fit in nicely with some of the other schools in the league. Hockey-wise though, I'd sure prefer Quinnipiac or Union. Oh well....
Yeah, I think it can't hurt adding a school with such a high profile nationally. They have a beautiful new rink and, right now, they're playing hockey at a high level. What's not to like about that?So you're the one?
