Hello and good morning,Doubters but what can I say slow start / good finish. Time will tell but by the end of the season we all should have our answers. Ka pech. Have a nice day. GO,VIPERS,GO.

Who knows if it was luck or not but the Big trade was finally made to add some scoring to the lineup. Do you think the players are a little nervous now thinking they could be the next one out the door? The defense still looks suspect with one certain veteran player looking like he has an anchor tied to his skates, can't wait for Trey Taylor to return.

@Bingo

Great observation Bingo! Of course you should have all your answers at the end of the season. You should change your name to Captain Obvious!

Silverbacks will have a bounceback game tonight leaving the Vipers scratching their head once more. If not....well....I guess I will be wrong and the fans in Viper land can start planning the parade route.

My Warriors had a great first period last night but fell apart in the second and were dominated by the Vees the rest of the game. I expect a closer result tonight as well.

Go Vipers Go!
