How will the Vipers do tonight?

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

Marty said...

My heart is with the Vipers, my head is with the Silverbacks. I will predict 5 - 2 SA. They simply play much better as a team and I feel have better coaching. I hope the Vipers prove me wrong. Go Vipers Go!!!

JB said...

If we have our injured players back we have a chance to win. Otherwise it will be a SA win.

Bobby C said...

Should be the biggest crowd of the year. Facchinelli will not play tonight is what I've been told and Cleaves will play. Vipers have a terrible record playing at home in front of big crowds so I say Salmon Arm Wins.

BINGO said...

TWO TO ZERO VIPERS. HOPE FOR A SHUTOUT.

GJ unless out full roster is playing we're going down. They have to play harder and quit giving the puck away in out zone.

4-2 Vipers

The Salmon Arm Silverbacks have signed D Winston Frimmel (’04). Frimmel is from Klagenfurt, Austria, and has spent the last two seasons playing in the J20 Nationell league in Sweden. In 65 games, the defenseman has 2 goals and 8 assists for 10 points. Before that, he spent one season playing in Austria, in the ICEJL, putting up 15 points in 32 games. Frimmel will be in the lineup this weekend.
