The "Battle of the Titans"... I am predicting a blowout win by the Vipers, like the Canucks/LA game with 14 different players on the score sheet. The players will stop squeezing their sticks, start feeling confident and get on a roll from here on. This team appears to have too much talent to remain goal challenged. Also for McKee or Glen to make a major shakeup will be admitting that they made the wrong choices in putting his team together. Go Vipers Go.
