3-1 PG…McKee needs to GO! What a comedy show!!! Hopefully the boys can stay out of the box tonight!!!

The Vipers are in deep trouble early in the season with a mere 3 goals in 3 games. They have been out shot in the 3 games 95 to 77, and out played continuously. They are having a hard time scoring but most importantly just sustaining any considerable offense. Last night they had 10 minor penalties to PG's 5, were clearly undisciplined and showing signs of frustration. It is near impossible to improve dramatically in 24 hours so I am saying 5 - 1 PG tonight. I really hope I am wrong.

I am also saying the Glen's will give McKee more time to get his/the teams act together. It is still too early in the season to panic but if things don't improve I can see him being released. I predict the Glen's give him until the end of November, the outside Christmas break. With basically all teams making the playoffs it is not like they should ever be out of the playoff race. The big question is the damage to the fan base in the meantime. We have been accustomed to excellent teams but it is hard to be entertained/satisfied with McKee's below average results since taking over. I wonder how much input Todd Miller, as the Executive Vice President, has in GM/Coaching decisions. The other unknown is what quality coaches will be available and still looking for employment. Time will tell but the clock is ticking.
