Game Recap: Okotoks Oilers 6 Vernon Vipers 3

I was born and raised in Vernon, BC and been watching/following junior hockey my entire life. My family watched senior men's hockey in Vernon in the 1950's and has been watching/following junior hockey in Vernon since Vernon got a team in 1961. I have two family members that played junior hockey in Vernon. I have had season tickets since 1990 missing 46 home games since. I worked with the Vipers as colour commentator for a couple of home games during the 2002-03 season. In 2011 I helped create and design the Vipers website and was in charge of running the website for five seasons. I started and created this blog in November 2008 and have over 5.9 million viewers.

I was at tonight's Vernon Vipers-Okotoks Oilers game as the Oilers won 6-3 in front of 2,030 fans at Kal Tire Place.

Starting Goaltenders:

Vernon Vipers: Oliver Kanat
Okotoks Oilers: Eric Young

1st Period: A good start from the hometown Vernon Vipers as the Snakes were the better team for a good chunk of this period. I thought the Snakes got off to a good start, had the early puck possession, zone time, were getting pucks to the net and generated several quality opportunities. Puck luck was not on Vernon's side this evening, as the Vipers missed a wide open net before not being able to tap home the loose puck bouncing around in the blue paint. I thought the Snakes could have had three goals instead couldn't bury their chances before the visiting Oilers open the scoring at 13:38 This goal seemed to change the momentum as Okotoks gained some life and momentum and finished the period on a high as the Oilers were the better team to end the period. The Oilers who couldn't seem to get much going in the first half, got some big saves from their goaltender, had a couple of bounces or puck luck go their way, seemed to be a different team after opening the score. It was 1-0 Okotoks after 20 minutes of play. Shots were 11-9 Oilers.

2nd Period: The Oilers were by far the better team and outplayed the Snakes most of the entire period. Okotoks played a solid road game this period, carried the better of the play, had lots of puck possession, were firing lots of pucks on goal, forced the Vipers into turnovers and defensive mistakes, that resulted in goals. The Oilers looked very good. Vernon on the other hand struggled at both ends of the rink. The Snakes just like last night struggled in their own end, had troubles defensively, were turning over pucks, turning the puck over inside their own blueline, left Oliver Kanat out to dry and then when they did get out of their own end, struggled offensively, with poor passing, turning pucks over, couldn't generate or create any kind of offence. Vernon went well over twelve minutes without a shot on goal. It was 4-0 Okotoks after 40 minutes of play. Shots were 19-6 Oilers.

Game Recap: Salmon Arm Silverbacks 7 Vernon Vipers 5

I was born and raised in Vernon, BC and been watching/following junior hockey in Vernon my entire life. My family watched senior men's hockey in Vernon in the 1950's and has been watching/following junior hockey in Vernon since Vernon got a team in 1961. I have two family members that played junior hockey in Vernon. I have had season tickets since 1990 missing 46 home games since.

In 2011 I helped create and design the Vipers website and was in charge of running the website for five years. I started and created this blog in November 2008 and have over 5.9 million viewers.

I was at tonight's Vernon Vipers-Salmon Arm Silverbacks as the Silverbacks won 7-5 in front of 2,646 fans at Kal Tire Place.

Starting Goaltenders:

Vernon Vipers: Colton Jugnauth
Salmon Arm Silverbacks: Daniel Dirracolo

1st Period: The Silverbacks were the better team for most of the opening frame. I thought the Vipers got off to a good start, had the early edge in play, played well and looked good in the first four to five minutes before the Apes opened the scoring at 6:20 and never really looked back. SA carried the better of the play, had more puck possession, more zone time, more shots on goal, more quality chances. The S'Backs played with pace, moved the puck well up ice. Vernon couldn't seem to recover after giving up the opening goal, then struggled for most of the remainder of the period. The Snakes had troubles getting pucks to the net and creating/generating quality opportunities. Sebastian Bradshaw hit the crossbar but otherwise the Vipers didn't get a whole lot of good looks/chances. It was 1-0 Salmon Arm after 20 minutes of play. Shots were 18-11 Silverbacks.

2nd Period: The visiting Salmon Arm Silverbacks were the better team. The Vipers tied the game 1:38 into the middle frame but couldn't keep the puck out of their net. Salmon Arm capitalized on several Vernon mistakes. The Silverbacks looked like the better team for most of the period. The Gorillas speed to win puck battles and force the Snakes to turn over pucks was a big difference. SA scored four goals on just eight shots. SA kept Vernon to the outside, blocked shots and played well defensively. The Vipers scored a couple of goals to get back into the game but couldn't hold off the goals against. Vernon struggled defensively and in their own end. The hometown Vipers had troubles getting out of their own end, on the break out and clearing the zone. It was 5-2 Silverbacks after 40 minutes of play. Shots on goal were 9-8 Vipers.
