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?

I think you already know the answer to your own question. You need enough talent to compete with the top teams and then that talent needs to be well guided. Don't overthink things.

I watched Vermont play five very strong periods followed by one lousy one a few weeks back. I doubt that the coaches told the players to go lay an egg in that last 20 minutes. As for parity, HEA has BC and eight other teams, such that you could replay the schedule and wind up with a completely different order of finish and it wouldn't even be a surprise.

Felt like a playoff game out there. Wasn't pretty, but a W's a W. And if this is any indication of how Scobee will fare in playoffs, we got ourselves a money goalie.

Morning Catamounts........in watching the US vs Russia game, according to color woman A.J. Mielescu(?), "Amanda Pelkey put the Vermont program on the map"........maybe it's because I'm familiar with UVM and their hockey programs, going back to when fans threw the Frisbee across the Gutterson ice pregame......Tom McNamara, John Glynn days.......and while I recognize Pelkey's amazing 4 years at UVM, much to UNH's demise, I find that statement just a bit excessive......good luck to Amanda and USA!
