I was at tonight"s game. Cowichan played with alot better structure in there playmaking as a team. Yes, Mike vandekamps team played better as a team. They were patience with the puck, there defence was more solid and there offence was better in there plays that they made. Vernon on the other hand was playing like a team of individuals not as a team. There defence and offence showed this quite clearly. Too be honest I as a fan was very bored in watching our team play. If it doesn't get any better than this then we have to make some trades or change something because with all the practice time the vipers had before this game. I certainly as a fan was very disappointed at such a poor performance, and as a team you should feel ashamed. Not to worry YOU CAN DO BETTER. YES VIPERS NOT TO WORRY , YOU CAN DO BETTER.
