I watched today's game on my computer. I was going to go to today's game but my car was in the shop.
ReplyDeleteI thought both teams were fairly even in the 1st period with Merritt taking over and the better team in the 2nd period outplaying the Vipers. I thought the 3rd was even at times with the Centennials having an edge in play at times. The Centennials third goal was questionable and I don't think should have counted. At the end of the day the Vipers played from behind all afternoon and played no where near sixty minutes. The Vipers offensive struggles continue. Vernon has three goals in their last three games and only scored four or more goals three times this season. Playing in Merritt, the game comes at you fast and in waves at times. Let's not forget Vernon was playing back to back games while the Centennials had Saturday night off. At the end of the day the Vipers needed a win today, needed everyone to rise to the occasion, especially playing a team below you in the standings. If you can't beat many teams above you in the standings, you need to start beating teams below you in the standings. After their best performance and a huge win last night, a very disappointing loss today. The Vipers have been very inconsistent all season and it showed again this afternoon.
I'm really getting tired of Jason McKee's excuses and using the same lines after every loss in his post game show. After almost every loss McKee says he saw way too many passengers and not enough effort from his team. He talks about the nuts and bolts of the game and how the game never changes. Today he said he saw too many passengers and not a good enough effort, that tells me something. Hey coach, I think your the problem! I don't think McKee is a good coach and it's time for a coaching change! This year's Vipers are playing like and looking like last year's team.
The Vipers will face these same Centennials in a couple of weeks, have a very challenging and tough schedule coming up, playing some top teams like Penticton, Surrey and West Kelowna twice in some very tough games.
I also like how they try to sugar-coat their stats by saying they are a .500 hockey club. I know the BCHL lists them as .500 but they are calculating the stats wrong. The BCHL is not counting Overtime Losses or Shootout Losses as LOSSES. The Vipers have 6 wins and 7 losses
ReplyDeleteTired of McKee's excuses & hockey cliches? I get tired of his interviews with Graham, who just lobs underhanded pitches (questions) to him. Please start asking him some tough or uncomfortable questions and quit sugarcoating. Graham is constantly trying to appease McKee and is starting to look ridiculous himself.
ReplyDeleteGraham is just doing his job the way he thinks it should be done or how he has been taught in all fairness. Now with JASON MCKEE we need to start a chant such as , Sha na na na, sha na na na Jason good bye., repeat. Someone has to start this as atleast it may get some message across. .Yes the players are not listening.Why because they know what good coaching is and they can tell the difference. Jason not a good coach
ReplyDeleteMy question for Bingo is why are you going at all? I could understand if you were actually chanting that (maybe add johnny boy in it too). I know you probably already paid for the tickets. A completely empty building would speak louder than words. Or give them away to the less fortunate. A bunch of bums would fit right in with those two clowns!!!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous to some degree your right as to why one is wasting ones time going but as most teams usually one waits until christmas time to see if a team has turned things around. I do feel the Glens ownership could really careless how his fans feel and just treats this as another business deal. The only time you will see change is when the vipers are economically not a good business decision. At that time the Glens will sell the team and move on to the next deal down the road. Business is business
ReplyDeleteExactly Bingo!!! No bums in the seats= no ticket revenue and losing advertising revenue. Let's get them outta here before next year!!! Stay home everyone. There are at least a few groups who would likely step up and take over the team. The boys on the team would completely understand what was occuring. We will never have an owner like Duncan again, but these clowns have to go. Anybody else (except the city of Vernon) would be an improvement.
ReplyDeleteI wish fans would use their own name or have a nickname instead of using Anonymous. Is Anonymous one person or multiple people using the same name? Thanks!
