4-3 Vipers Going to change their ways and win on the Road against a good team!

On the radio they said Vipers were two games over 500, since when is 16 wins and 18 losses two games over 500? I’m thinking they are trying to make themselves look better than they are. They are playing a better game however following ALL the trades. Jason McKee may get himself out of the hot water yet!

I bet the radio looked at the standings and saw Vernon at 16-14 and didn't see the 4 shootout losses

They've played 35 games and have 36 points based on 16 wins and 4 overtime loss points. The league went to a percentage system for playoff spots in the Covid and atmospheric river years because teams might play different numbers of games. It's not a big deal.
