Re: Vermont Women's Hockey 2017-18

It took Plumer five and a half. It took Miller 10. And the program was in shambles when Plumer took over. Bothwell won double digit games ONCE in his six seasons and Miller did it twice in eight D1 years. Plumer's already got both of them beat. And UVM usually schedules tough. In OOC this year we played Clarkson, Minnesota, and a road set with Quinnipiac who is very good on home ice. And last year the team was just a double OT goal away from the Hockey East final and given that they didn't lose to Northeastern in the regular season they could've taken them in the final.

He's not a perfect coach - no one is - but it is undeniable that the program is going in the right direction.

Call It seems to be a complete and total idiot, I wouldn't worry too much about anything he says.

Vermont went down tough. 1-1 after two periods, and the Gophers played way better today. Couldn't bust through the Catamounts defense and Scobee despite a bunch of good chances. I thought Vermont played well again today.

There was over 2100 people at the game today and a really good atmosphere. They kicked the Gophers butts yesterday, played a good game with a fun crowd today. Despite the dam breaking in the third period I hope they enjoyed their trip to Minnesota! We'll see you in Burlington next year

Looking forward to it. This team can compete with anyone, I think they just got a bit tired toward the end. Lots of respect for the Gopher program.

Almost another Vermont Friday night special.

Almost another Vermont Friday night special.

This team has a ton of heart and fight. Good to play a close game at Conte, it's been a house of horrors for us in recent years.

Maybe we get a Saturday afternoon stunner. But the confidence this team lacked before the break is back.

Watched the last ten or so minutes of the game. Vermont looked good. Capitalizing on BC neutral zone break downs, being patient with the puck, moving it well. Final goal looked like it was through traffic (will have to watch TTT’s recap), that’s a tough one. Between Vermont, Northeastern, Maine, Victoria Bach and BC, you have me intrigued Hockey East.

Vermont is 3-10-3 in their conference with 28 goals for and 51 against, in 7th place just one point ahead of lowly Merrimack and only 3 points ahead of desparately-in-need-of-a-real-coach UConn. 4 of their 6 wins are against those same 2 teams. Overall they are 6-15-4 with 47 goals for and 74 against. That is hardly what I'd call a good team in spite of their upset wins over the struggling Gophers last weekend and Clarkson in Nov. They couldn't even beat D3-caliber RIT (except for the shootout part of that tournament game). Inconsistent is the word to describe the Catamounts. They are trying to find a way to be a top-half team in their conference but it just isn't happening.

Young team, and the vets have missed some time. Willard missed a couple games, Menches missed like a third of the season, Valkama missed time, Picard was with Canada during the PC series. Plumer told me in preseason that he felt this was the toughest schedule in the country and..yeah, hes right. Also with the RIT game their goalie basically stole that game. It's not a perfect team but one that is better than their record imo

Theyve looked a lot better since the break. Speaking of, Plumer posted yesterday about the teams holiday trip to Montreal for the Theresa Humes Invitational

Zero points, but a strong showing this weekend. Lets beat Northeastern!

Re: Vermont Women's Hockey 2017-18

Was impressed with Vermont in Minnesota and from watching them some this weekend on the bc stream, they played well against bc.

Re: Vermont Women's Hockey 2017-18

Probably the best 60 minutes the team has played this season. Complete team performance. Hopefully Pate's okay though.

Huge weekend for Vermont! Well done against a very worthy opponent!

Re: Vermont Women's Hockey 2017-18

Another big W, especially with UConn and Merrimack also winning...Cats 2 back of 6th place BU w/ 2 games in hand and 3 of their last 4 games are at home to teams chasing us in the standings. Very much in control of our own destiny.

Re: Vermont Women's Hockey 2017-18

The huge amount of inconsistency is frustrating with this team. 2nd to last is pretty pitiful based on what the team is capable of doing. Is that where coaching makes a difference or is there just a lot of parity from top to bottom in HE?
