How will the Vipers do tonight?

Make your predictions, Who will win and what will be the final score?

Looking at the Roster sheet the mysterious moves continue having a skilled young forward out in place of a Dman who I'm sure is trying to showcase his skills on Defense for Brown as he has been injured for a good chunk this yr! All to get Ashton in the lineup when they are only carrying 7 Dmen already! Definitely not a way to treat your younger skilled players you want playing for you in the future! Just look at how the other teams like Cranbrook manage their young players and Ap's like Ferner an 06 last night or in Coquitlam etc! Vernon has 1 of 9 in the league and Jason is the only coach not to send his first year player to the Prospects game! It must be interesting in that room as the days of having all the players on your team not like you were over long ago!
