    TO BE FAIR...a lot of the players turning things around were inherited commits from the old coaching staff along with some grad transfers. I don't think it's going to be sustainable growth, especially since UMass has a PDO of 108.9 so far this year which is just not sustainable

    I still do think UVM needs a nice kick in the *** though.

      Man it really is the day of the Catamount, between Marty's induction and the bball game vs Kansas, and Viktor Stalberg is making his KHL debut and has scored already

        The list is way shorter of forwards that have actually developed in Sneddons system....but I can think of any!

          Stalberg already played in the KHL a few years ago

            Fair enough (my memory is very bad), but this time it's on a permanent deal as opposed to a lockout stopgap.

                But who has taken the talent and actually made it into a performing team? We seem to recruit some decent players that either stagnate or regress over time.

                    Bennett at Union and Hastings with the Purple Cows are the examples that jump out to me. Schenectady and Mankato are not exactly **** locales, and neither have sparkling new arenas (though Mankato's did open in the 90s, it's not as eye-popping as, say, Agganis), but they're still able to find lots of success.

                      Didn't even bother hauling my *** to Gutterson tonight, decided to stay home for bball instead.

                      Make me regret this.

                        Coaching sucks.....Dump and chase, no special teams and I understand why Colton went pro! Can’t wait for a new coach

                            We're not even bad in an entertaining way. We're just boring. Like even some bad teams can be fun... they play all-out attack with no f---s given on D.

                            Not good enough to be nationally ranked, not bad enough to be mocked as a dumpster fire...we just kinda, exist to take up schedule.

                              Good news is that Sneddon came up with a slightly new neutral zone passing break in scheme. That should really turns things around. 😐
                              Zero creativity, so boring.

                                Disappointing outcome but an enjoyable game from my perspective. I thought the game last night was a good step in the right direction. The team is doing a much better job breaking out and transitioning through the neutral zone. I didn't see the amount of dump and chase that we have seen in the past. Lekkas continues to be a force and keeps them in games. The goal was due to a lack of back checking. Obviously they are having trouble scoring goals. They need to work on a quicker release when shooting. I think that will help on the power play as well. One-time drills...
