I watched the Vipers game this afternoon on my computer. This was a fairly evenly matched game that was very entertaining. Both teams played hard and both teams lost a key player in the game, that didn't return. I thought both goaltenders played very well. It showed at times the Vipers were playing there third game in three days as Surrey was coming on late in the 3rd. For a second straight night the Snakes go to overtime. Looking at the standings, this was a game where Vernon needed to win. The Eagles with only seven wins on the season, have struggled this year. You hate to see the Vipers lose to a team not only below them in the standings but near the bottom of the league. It's too bad Vernon couldn't hold a lead last night or pull out the victory in overtime in Cowichan. A big win to end the three game weekend. The Vipers 11 game road trip continues Friday & Saturday in Trail. Nice to see a fairly big crowd on hand for today's game, looked like a great turnout.
Go Vipers Go!
5 games left to go with two big games in Trail and 1 against #1 Coquitlam. Honestly did not think they would be playing this well. Go Vipers

After the Buzzer – Vipers Finish Off Eagles In Shootout
November 3, 2019
Surrey, BC: Dawson Holt scored the only goal and Reilly Herbst was perfect in the shootout as the Vernon Vipers topped the Surrey Eagles by a 3-2 score.
Both teams were playing their third game in 2 and a half days and it showed early on as neither team was able to get any traction. Both teams missed passes that would normally connect and looked like they were trying to generate momentum in anyway possible. In a game like that, simplicity is key and the Vipers executed that to a tee as Landon Fuller placed a shot at the net which deflected en route and by Thomas Scarfone to make it 1-0. The Eagles implemented the same plan late in a period as Brandon Santa Juana centered a puck from the red line off a body and through Reilly Herbst to make it 1-1 after 1.
The Vipers found their legs in the second period they upped the tempo and funneled pucks to the net. More importantly they minimized Surrey’s chances. The Vipers faced adversity when they had to kill off a five minute major penalty. Dawson Holt had the best chance while shorthanded but was stopped by the shoulder of Scarfone. The Eagles would get just one shot on the man advantage. Moments after it expired, the Vipers would earn a powerplay and Connor Marritt would rip home his 9th of the season to make it 2-1. That score would hold up after 2 periods.
In the third, the Eagles came out flying and evened the game up as Cristophe Tellier finished off a 3 on 2 rush to make it 2-2 early on. Both teams traded chances as the mental and physical fatigue started to set in. Both teams were fortunate their goaltenders were locked in and this game was destined for overtime.
Not a lot going on in the extra period. Each team generated one shot, neither of which were overly dangerous and it was shootout time.
In the shootout Wyatt Schlaht was stopped by Herbst. Cam MacDonald would go next, nearly deked out Scarfone, but hit the side of the net. Cristophe Tellier was up for the Eagles, but was stopped. Connor Marritt shot second for the Vipers with his patented move, but narrowly missed the net. Holden Katzalay shot third for Surrey, tried the five hole, but Herbst said no. With a chance to win the game, Dawson Holt was next and ripped home the game winner to the glove side of Scarfone to give the Vipers the extra point and a 3-2 shootout win.
So far on the road trip, the Vipers have taken 9 of 12 points and will head home and prepare for a weekend visit to Trail next week.

Surrey Eagles vs Vernon Vipers Post Game Recap
November 3, 2019
Surrey, BC – A .500 weekend against three quality B.C. Hockey League opponents has the Surrey Eagles primed to make a move up the standings as they play a stretch of six straight home games
The first of the six was a flip-a-coin 3-2 shoot-out loss to the Vernon Vipers on Sunday afternoon at the South Surrey Arena in a hard-fought, if not overtly physical, evenly-played affair. That in itself is a major tribute in its own right to the revamped home team, which has struggled to find consistency as the season has unfolded and on Sunday dressed a single 20-year-old as opposed to six for the visitors, who looked very much a composed and disciplined hockey team.
Vernon’s Dawson Holt, one of those 20-year-olds, scored the game-winner with a heavy wrist shot which just got past Surrey goaltender Thomas Scarfone. Holt was the only one of six shooters to strike the twine in the one-on-one showdown after 65 minutes of what Surrey head coach Cam Keith described as “a well-played hockey game, on both sides. It was tight and nobody was giving up much. As the game progressed both teams were committed to playing really honest hockey.”
Vernon twice held one-goal leads. After the teams traded lucky goals in the first period, Vernon killed off a five-minute major early in the second period then regained the lead shortly thereafter on a subsequent powerplay of their own. A sweet three-way passing play finished off by Surrey’s Cristophe Tellier in the opening minute of the third period knotted the score for the second time.
Both Scarfone, named the game’s first star, and Vernon goalie Reilly Herbst, who just as easily could have been awarded the honour, were solid throughout the 65 minutes and acrobatic when they needed to be.
Surrey went 0-4 on the powerplay, and only managed a single shot on net during the five-minute man advantage in the second. The five-minute match penalty assessed to Vernon’s Brett Fudger for a blow to the head knocked Eagles captain Hudson Schandor out of the game with a neck injury, although the play itself was anything but sinister. “Our powerplay was not as good as it was against Chilliwack last night,” said Keith. “I think we were being a little too cute. We didn’t really take our shots when we had them,” although the Vipers also collectively blocked a high number of shots during the game.
Surrey opened its three-game weekend with a 5-3 loss to the league-leading Penticton Vees on Friday, but then ended a five-year losing streak at the Chilliwack Coliseum in dramatic fashion via a game-winner with two seconds to play in edging the Chiefs 4-3 on Saturday. Vernon came into Sunday’s contest as one of the hottest teams in the BCHL and improved its record to 12-7-1 following a 3-6 start to the season. Testimony their move up the standings is that the team has played six straight games on the Lower Mainland and/or Island in the past 10 days and come away with nine of the possible 12 points. Somewhat remarkably, those six games were only the first of 11 straight on the road for the Vipers.
“If you have looked beforehand at those three games and those three teams and told me we were going to get three points I would have been very happy with that,” Keith acknowledged. “Actually, I think we could have had five of the six points, and that we were a bit unlucky to get only three—although three is still good. Those are the results we want.”
“And now is a must time for us,” the coach said of the lengthy homestand, and of his now 7-13-0-2 squad. “We have to keep getting points and wins so there’s not so much separation between us and the rest of the [Mainland] Division.”
