  1. Well let me start off by saying Go Warriors Go!

    Big game tonight in my backyard.

    I would like to see the Vipers roster without all of their injuries....it's tough to assess a team when it's not complete and a third of the lineup is injured. Vipers looked pretty decent last night and I believe you have some potential this season if they can be coached properly.

    I was disappointed with the warriors compete level last night and I have higher expectations tonight and going forward.

    Win or Lose, I will continue to follow the VDHF blog....I just may not have as much need to comment until our teams cross paths again. I also can't wait till fans are allowed to watch, then I can do my usual roadtrips to Vernon to watch them play.

    When that happens, I'll post my seat number and anyone interested can buy a beer for Uncle Ben and talk hockey! Wish there was more of that here....don't be shy!

    Good luck tonight Viper Fans....you will need it! Bwahaha!

    Cheers,
    Uncle Ben

  2. I really enjoyed last night's game and thought the Vipers were the better of the two teams. Vernon should have never blown a 3-1 2nd period and could have put the game away if scoring on some of their chances. A learning lesson for this young Viper team that has been playing much better the past four games. I'm expecting a real good game tonight in the second game of the home & home series. I will be watching the game on Hockey TV from my computer.

    Go Vipers Go!
