Maybe Karki can stand on his head and bail1 them out tonight! Love listening on the radio, dont have to give the Glens any money to hire some more croonies. Graham does a great job by the way, but you can tell even he is discourage!
Graham Turnbull is a class act. I listened to the post game interview, if that is what you call it, with McKee last night. Everyone is disappointed in the result but Graham acted like a true professional in that one sided discussion of the game. In my opinion McKee was short, abrupt & very rude to a guy who has done nothing but support him all year. He deserved more respect than what he got.
Thats why he's a clown!
When you have a loser coach what do you get, a bunch of losers! Up 5-4 with 1:52 remaining and cough it up! 5-5! Two chances to win it in the shootout Kowlaski blows it then Helgesen blows it! They are a laughing stock! I don't blame the kids it is all on the owners and the coach! The Glens owe the Vernon fans an apology for the worst season in franchise history!
Worst season in franchise history ???? Obviously your not going by stats......Only twice in the last 10 years,have the Vipes ended up with more regular season points,than this year, with tonight’s single point,they surpassed last years totals.... Perhaps your referring to regular season wins ? Again, only twice in the last few years, have the Vipers ended up with more than 30 wins. Obviously the “Worst season in history”, has nothing to do with stats. You refer to Kowalski/Helgesen as “Blowing it “ ? Kowalski is the season points leader,Helgesen had 3 tonight....Maybe try a little cheese with your Whine !!!
I know your upset, but all teams have blown a one goal lead late in a game. I saw Troy Mick, Mike Vandekamp and Mark Ferner teams blow leads, it happens. I'm not standing up for the Vipers losing last night, but I don't agree with your comments. Ben Helgeson scored three goals last night, how can you blame him for blowing it? Where would the Vipers be this season without Matt Kowalski? How can you blame him for not scoring in the shootout. Did the Vipers make some mistakes last night, yes. But to say this is the worst Vernon team in franchise history? The Vipers finished the season with 30 wins and made the playoffs. So your saying the three Viper teams that missed the playoffs in 2001, 2012 and 2013 were better then this years Vipers?
Here is a list of some Vernon teams with only a handful of wins
1961 7 wins
1962 9 wins
1963 7 wins
1964 10 wins
1965 4 wins
1977 10 wins
1980 8 wins
1981 10 wins
Your telling me those Vernon teams were better then this years Vipers?
The Vipers aren't very good this year but not the worst team in franchise history.
Maybe the Anonymous poster ment "Worst Coach in franchise history "
They are 24 points out of first probably looking at fifth! Lucky West Kelowna and Merrit are bad or they would have been sixth or seventh! It is just a terrible team to watch, a comedy of errors! The coach is definitely the worst ever!
Worst Coach in franchise history. McKee is up there with Joe Oliver and Jason Williamson. Duncan has to be looking down and thinking. WHAT THE HELL HAS THIS COACH AND HIS TWO SIDE KICKS DONE TO MY TEAM !!!!!!!!!!!
Also John Glenn, where is the Interior Championship Banner from last year. It should be hanging with the 30 plus banners that this franchise has won.
Getting back to Jason McKee. You blame the goalie, the defence and the forwards. Maybe take a good look in the mirror, you and the two idiots standing next to you. You've gone from a WHL team and back to a junior A team. Maybe the Glenn's should buy a junior B team and you could go coach them.
I feel for the veterans on this team because they have heart. Good luck next year in school or where ever life takes you.
You are correct Bobby C, I meant the worst coach in history! On paper the kids should have deserved a better fate but were not allowed to live up to there potential! I know the coach is usually blamed, but in this instance it is blatantly obvious he is the culprit!
Its unfortunate that this years team has completely tuned out the coach because in last night's post game interview he basically said that and that he couldn't figure out why. The poster above is correct that this group of players are extremely fine young men and do deserve a better fate. Unfortunately John Glenn and Mckee seemed to be tied at the hip so unless Tom realizes his son needs a better coach next year Viper fans will be going through all this again next year...now we play Wenatchee
