The Vipers are the lowest scoring team in the league and you sign a kid who's played five Junior hockey games with 0 points. I don't get it! Most of your roster is average players that can't score or put up points.
ReplyDeleteThe Vipers are an average hockey team that has struggled most of the season and you bring in a player with basically no Junior hockey experience? Why?
Some of the trades and roster moves the team has made this season, makes no sense.
The Vipers roster has been a revolving door all season. How is this team supposed to build, gel, bond, come together and mature as a team when every week there's a new player either coming or going.
To be honest a lot of the players I saw on the ice playing from start to now where a waste of ones time watching. They provided no excitment and at best where like watching junior b hockey players on the ice. At times I had to have my favorite americano coffee to keep awake to pretend I actually was watching a hockey game. So any change in players at this point would be refreshing as maybe they will be entertaining.
ReplyDeleteWrong Bingo. A change in coaches is what is REQUIRED. It wouldn't matter if we had Connor Bedard on our team. McKee would find a way to ruin him too. Somebody should interview Connor Marritt when he comes home for Christmas break and see if he will give an honest opinion of the coach and owners on the record. Maybe give Trey Taylor a call too. If you were to interview all the players who have left the organization in the last few years you would understand why this organization is the laughingstock of junior A hockey.
ReplyDelete"recruited/committed" players list is missing Blackburn...so looks like 10 "commits" released or traded in a few months
