  2. Friday the 13th so anything can happen. Lets go 5-2 for the Vipers tonight.

  3. Vandekamp returns to the building he opened as coach of the Vipers. He's done a lot of trading since taking over the Capitals mid-season but I think the Vipers will win 4-2.

  4. Another lame duck win against the worst team in the league. Not many gimmies left!
