Did you listen to the game on the radio or watch it on flo hockey?
What did you think of tonight's Vipers-Saints game? What are your comments/opinion on the game?
I watched the Vipers game online this evening. Two teams near the bottom of the standings fighting for a playoff spot and the Saints get the upper hand with the victory. This was a pretty good/entertaining hockey game as I thought both teams were fairly even. Both teams were better at times and had a bit more edge in play but overall it was a close game. Ryan De Kok was solid in goal for the Saints in the 3rd. For two teams playing each other for the first time, it was sure a chippy/feisty game. Both games this weekend were feisty/chippy. The Vipers PP struggles going 2-6 The Saints snap a five game losing streak. Vernon & Spruce Grove are fighting for a playoff spot. The Saints are tied in points with Okotoks for the final playoff spot, while the Vipers are five points out. For a team trying to make the playoffs, they are really struggling with two wins in there last eleven games and have lost twelve of there last seventeen games. The Grant Fuhr arena reminds me a lot like Merritt's arena. I really like the Saints jerseys, one of the best in the BCHL.
Terrible coaching. Same kids out for full power plays because one player (Blanck) has been able to score a couple of pp goals. What message does that send to the rest of the players? Same group out with 1:30 left in the game, same result. At some point we can't keep blaming the players. So many personnel changes and poor coaching is what's killing this team. Watch other teams that are winning...players make unselfish plays and play for each other and commit to team defense. It's not just about skating fast and shooting like these coaches think it is.
The vernon vipers have had a difficult first half of the hockey season. It has been very challenging for the coaching staff and for the players . Trying to gel as a team with the constant revolving door of players has made in extremely hard to form a team that works together and has a belief in each other. I am hoping in the future this new league will have worked out the bugs and will have a solid foundation of rules in place which works for the players and the coaching staff. I think until this happens we will see more of the same for the new league. I think as fans we must hope that change is coming for the benefit of us as fans. Anyway a good game by the vipers but a tough loss.. GO, VIPERS, GO.
