The Vernon Vipers improve to 20-18-0-4 after a 6-5 shootout victory over the 13-23-3-2 Powell River Kings in front of 687 fans at the Hap Parker Arena.
I had plans last night so was unable to watch the Vipers game online. A big win for a team that has struggled on the road this season. For a Viper team that only has six road wins this season, has won three of their last five games on the road. Vernon plays five of their next six games away from home. With the regular season winding down, almost every game is crucial at this point in the season if the Vipers want to try and climb the standings. The Snakes are only one point back of Wenatchee, three points back of Salmon Arm & four points back of Prince George and West Kelowna.
Yes a big win! The Vipers have struggled on the road this season and have a shot at catching 3rd place, so every game/win at this late in the season is a big win no matter who they beat!
This is a different team from the start of the season. I complained about the team and all the trades and roster moves early in the season, but at the end of the day all of those trades/roster moves made this team a much different and better team now. The team is playing much better, are in most games, competitive, winning more games, fun to watch and right in the mix in the standings and only six points back for 3rd place.
They lose again and not on the road, against the 8th place team, whats the excuse this time, the old "they could of won the game". Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda doesn't cut it. They lost again!!
