Game Recap: Vernon Vipers 6 Salmon Arm Silverbacks 4

I was born and raised in Vernon, BC and been watching/following junior hockey in Vernon my entire life. I started and created this blog in November 2008 and have over 10 million viewers. I have had season tickets since 1990 and missed 46 home games since. 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 programs and ticket stubs from every game since 1988. I worked with the Vipers as colour commentator for a few home games during the 2002-03 season and in 2011 I helped create/design the Vipers website that I was in charge of for five seasons.

I was at tonight's Vernon Vipers-Salmon Arm Silverbacks game as the Vipers won 6-4 in front of 2,224 fans at Kal Tire Place.

Starting Goaltenders:

Vernon Vipers: Samuel DiBlasi

Salmon Arm Silverbacks: Mikkel Christensen

1st Period: The Silverbacks got off to a strong start and were the better team. The Gorillas outskated and outplayed the hometown Vipers for a lot of the period. Salmon Arm carried and controlled the better of the play, had more puck possession, more zone time, created/generated several good looks and opportunities but couldn't solve Samuel DiBlasi who made some big stops. The Apes played with a lot of jump/energy, were strong on the forecheck, strong on the wall and winning the battles. The Vipers looked a step behind SA most of the period. Vernon couldn't keep the puck on their sticks, didn't look sharp or crisp. The Snakes just looked out of sorts at times but did seem to play a little better towards the end of the period. The only difference in the period was the S'Backs couldn't find the back of the net and the Vipers who didn't get a ton of looks or chances, capitalized on two opportunities. It was 2-0 Vernon after 20 minutes of play. Shots were 11-10 Vipers.

2nd Period: The Gorillas were again the better of the two teams, carried and controlled a lot of the play. The visiting Silverbacks had a lot of puck possession, lots of zone time, outskated and outplayed the Vipers for a lot of the period. The Backs were much quicker, were skating, aggressive on the forecheck, winning the battles. The Apes had at least four odd man rushes but couldn't capitalize. SA didn't get as many quality chances as the 1st period. The Snakes once again couldn't seem to do much of anything. Vernon couldn't get a whole lot of time in the offensive zone, didn't generate or create a lot of opportunities. Vernon was forced to chase the puck and the Silverbacks often. It was 3-1 Vipers after 40 minutes of play. Shots were 11-9 Salmon Arm.

I was at tonight's Vernon Vipers-Salmon Arm Silverbacks game as the Vipers won 6-2 in front of 1000 fans at Rogers Rink.

Starting Goaltenders:

Vernon Vipers: Samuel DiBlasi

Salmon Arm Silverbacks: Noah Mavin

1st Period: The visiting Vipers come to play and totally dominated the opening period as they outskated and outplayed Salmon Arm the entire period. The Snakes were by far the better team, carried and controlled the play for the entire period. Vernon jumped out to a 2-0 lead with back to back goals. The Vipers were skating circles around the Silverbacks, were aggressive on the forecheck, winning the battles, had a ton of puck possession, had a ton of zone time, generated/created a ton of opportunities had several good looks. The Snakes could have easily had four or five goals and blown the game wide open if it wasn't for Salmon Arm's goaltending. The Gorillas spent most of the period in their own end, were chasing the Vipers & the puck most of the period. SA had a couple of good shifts but other wise struggled offensively. The Silverbacks couldn't seem to get much of anything going. Give credit to the Apes who were able to rally from two goals down to tie the hockey game in a period where they had no business being in. Noah Mavin was solid between the pipes, kept the S'Backs in the contest. It was 2-2 after 20 minutes of play. Shots were 19-6 Vernon.

2nd Period: The Snakes were once again the better of the two teams as Vernon dominated the middle frame for a second straight period. The visiting Vipers carried and controlled most of the play. Vernon had a lot of puck possession, a lot of time in the offensive zone, were again aggressive on the forecheck, were in on the Salmon Arm defence, creating havoc down low. The Vipers created/and generated lots of quality chances could only find the back of the net once. The Snakes looked to score late to take a 4-2 lead on the power play, but the officials gathered to discuss the play and waived the goal off due to the Vipers being offside. Mykolas Skadauskas couldn't capitalize on the penalty shot, while Alexander Eklof was denied on a breakaway. Salmon Arm was again chasing the puck and the Vipers for a lot of the 2nd period, but this time around did manage a little more puck possession and zone time in and around the half way mark. The Apes did have several good hard working shifts, had the Vipers back on their heels for bit but couldn't capitalize. Chase Campbell somehow missed a wide open cage, that would have tied the hockey game. Both goaltenders played well but again Noah Mavin kept Salmon Arm in the period. It was 3-2 Vernon after 40 minutes of play. Shots were 11-11.
