Game Recap: Vernon Vipers 5 Blackfalds Bulldogs 4 Overtime

I was born and raised in Vernon, BC and been watching/following junior hockey in Vernon my entire life. My family watched senior men's hockey in Vernon during the 1950's and has been watching/following junior hockey in Vernon since Vernon got a team in 1961. I have two family members that played junior hockey in Vernon. I have had season tickets since 1990 missing 46 home games since. I worked with the Vipers as colour commentator for a few games during the 2002-03 season. In 2011 I helped create and design the Vipers website and was in charge of running the website for five seasons. I started and created this blog in 2008 and have over 5.9 million viewers.

I was at tonight's Vernon Vipers-Blackfalds Bulldogs game as the Vipers won 5-4 in overtime in front of 1,872 fans at Kal Tire Place.

Starting Goaltenders:

Vernon Vipers: Colton Jugnauth
Blackfalds Bulldogs: Oliver Kiraly

1st Period: This was a pretty even period with both teams had a bit of edge in play at times. I thought the Snakes had a little more puck possession, didn't generate or create a ton of chances. The Bulldogs had a ton of looks/opportunities as Colton Jugnauth was forced to make some big stops. It was 1-1 after 20 minutes of play. Shots were 10-8 Vernon.

2nd Period: The Blackfalds Bulldogs were by far the better team, outplayed the Vipers for a lot of the middle frame. Blackfalds used their speed, skill and forecheck to hem the hometown Vipers in their own end at times as Vernon saw a lot of time in their own end. The Bulldogs had the puck on their sticks often, had lots of zone time, were skating, making plays, had the Vipers running around in circles at times. The Vipers did have a few good shifts and did manage some time with the puck but not often. Lucky for the Snakes, they were able to score three times in the period. Colton Jugnauth once again had to be on his game, kept the Vipers in the hockey game. It was 4-3 Vernon after 40 minutes of play. Shots were 19-11 Bulldogs.
