Boxscore-Game Summary,
Game Report,
Text Boxscore,
I watched the Vipers game on the computer tonight and for a second straight game, I don't think the Snakes looked or played that well. It looked like the hometown Langley Rivermen carried the better of the play at times and had a ton of more quality and grade A scoring chances. The Rivermen had the Vipers back on there heels at times. I thought both goaltenders looked/played very well. Both teams had troubles burying there chances. What's up with Vernon's power play this year? It has struggled all season and again tonight, going 0-6 including 0-1 in overtime on a great chance to put the game away. The Vipers have had troubles scoring and it showed again tonight. Vernon un able to capitalize on some of there opportunities. Non better then Elan Bar-Lev-Wise and Connor Sleeth inside the final minute of the 3rd period. A positive to take from tonight's loss would be gaining an extra point, where the Vipers have at least a point in twelve of there last fifteen games. After winning seven games in a row, it seems like Vernon cant seem to get back on track, trading wins and losses between games. Teams like Trail, Salmon Arm & Penticton are now slowly starting to pull away from the rest of the pack in the Interior division. The Vipers will finally wrap up there eleven game road trip tomorrow night in Coquitlam vs the top team in the league.
ReplyDeleteAfter not looking/or playing there best in the last two games, will we see some roster moves/trades before the BCHL card deadline?
Go Vipers Go!

ReplyDeleteAfter the Buzzer – Vipers Edged Out In Shootout
November 16, 2019
Langley, BC: Dawson Holt had a shorthanded tally and Matt Kowalski scored for the second straight game as the Vernon Vipers pushed the Langley Rivermen to a shootout, which the Rivermen would ultimately win by a 3-2 score.
The Vipers would face some early challenges as they found themselves shorthanded 3 consecutive times. The Riv struck first seconds after a powerplay expired as Kalen Szeto set up Joseph Musa who deflected the slap pass up and over Reilly Herbst to make it 1-0. While on the third PK, Connor Marritt caused a turnover and set up Dawson Holt who finished off the play with a nice deke to tie the game up at 1. Shortly after a Vipers powerplay expired, Matt Kowalski ripped a quick shot from the right circle that deflected off a Langley defender in front and past Braedon Fleming to make it 2-1 Vipers after 1 period.
The Vipers had a good showing in the second period, but didn’t see the results. They outshot the Rivermen 15-7 in the period. Dawson Holt had a good look on a breakaway that wouldn’t go and Connor Marritt had a great look on a goal mouth scramble but couldn’t hit the back of the net. Langley would get the only goal in the period as Matthew Hubbarde snapped home a centering pass to tie the game at 2.
In the third, both teams had looks to take the lead, but the goaltending was superb. Both Reilly Herbst and Braedon Fleming held strong. Elan Bar-lev-Wise had a great chance in the final minute on an individual effort, but Fleming dragged his leg to keep the puck out.
In overtime, the Vipers had a big opportunity on the powerplay, but again they came a goal post away from getting the victory and the bounces just wouldn’t go their way.
In the shootout, Connor Marritt was the lone Viper to hit the back of the net, but following a big save from Fleming, Kalen Szeto snapped one by Herbst to give the Rivermen the extra point and a 3-2 shootout win.
The Vipers will finish their road swing Saturday night in Coquitlam when they take on the Express.
The Vipers have to trade for players who can put it in the net! Barlevwise has cement hands and has not score a goal all year,he he to go! Sleeth was supposed to be a goal scorer 2 goals all year, dump him too! They are so bad the only trade bait they have is Palaga! Riley Hurbst is the man he has made the team look half decent by keeping them in games! The new owners better get On the ball or the fans will stay away in droves! They probably don't care and only bought the team so their son can make the team! Thanks a lot dad!
ReplyDeleteViper powerplay 0 for 12 last 2 games! What a terrible coach McKee is, oh well after all he is the owners buddy....lol.
ReplyDeleteI think Vernon has the best one two punch goalies in the BCHL! The defence is solid needs a rushing defenceman! The majority of the forwards are terrible! They need more with Connors grit and determination!
