I watched the Vipers/Oilers game on flohockey. I thought the Oilers were the better team for most of the hockey game. The Vipers played better in the second half of both of the 1st and 2nd periods but otherwise played no where near sixty minutes. Your not going to win many if any hockey games with only three shots on goal in the 3rd period? For a team fighting for the playoffs and chasing the Oilers for the final playoff spot, they sure didn't play anywhere close to good enough to beat the Oilers. This was a must win and a chance to get within six points of the Oilers for the final playoff spot. The Snakes are now ten points back with eleven games remaining. With only twelve wins this season, how does Lomicky still have a job? Changes have to be made! This team has struggled since the start of the season, no matter how many players have come and gone, this team has been the same with no improvement. Another game, another loss. The Vipers have just four wins in their last twenty one games. This season was over a long time ago! After decades of winning, Vipers fans better start get use to losing
ReplyDeleteHow is there not a coaching change? I don't get it. I just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteIt costs $$$ to fire a coach and replace him...
DeleteCosts more money when there are no fans!
DeleteCoaching change, no way, needs an ownership change!!!!
ReplyDeleteExactly. 100% John Glenn incompetence
DeleteI'll never waste my hard earned money on a game ever again. What a joke
ReplyDeleteIts is very sad how this season has shown itself. The Glens have some tough management decisions to make for next year moving forward. The Glens like any company running a business must evaluate success and failure and put feelings aside and make a corporate decision as to who stays within this organization and who goes. I am hopeful for next season that the failures of this season are but learning tools and from that success will be built. GO,VIPERS,GO.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the honesty die hard. I won't be renewing my season tickets next season. I'm done
ReplyDeleteBased on this one season?? Geesh . A little over dramatic much given the circumstances and changes that are happening in this league.
DeleteThe players are done, they see that the coaches aren't doing anything to try to win. Young players playing ahead of veterans, even on the pp. Same lines every game and every game a loss. Would coaches not mix things up or play the veterans more when you're desperate for wins? It's almost hard to believe. I guess they're hoping the 06 and 07s come back next year, I'm sure the veterans who are still eligible will not be...not with this coaching staff.
ReplyDeleteOMG people, we wanted a coaching change last year, be careful what you wish for, it may come true!
ReplyDeleteExactly so much whining on here and I’m guessing majority of the people have never played hockey or coached. So easy to complain anonymously.
DeleteEveryone has an opinion, right or wrong. They have their opinion, you have yours
DeleteWhy do you have to have played or coached hockey to be a fan and complain when your team isn't doing good? No matter what sport, fans are passionate and have their opinion on the team. Just because someone didn't coach or play hockey, doesn't mean they can't tell the difference between a good team and a poor team. Fans have all the right to complain and criticize if their team is near the bottom of the standings and not playing well or winning many games etc.
DeleteThank you Vipers, you will save me cash by me not having to buy playoff tickets this year, again, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe worst coach I’ve seen in a long time. Clearly there was no “win now” mandate for this guy so why did he blow the team up so early. At the start of the year there were about 12 Division 1 committed players on this roster. Lot of young guys who could have stuck around for 2-3 years if they had been treated differently. Sure, take some losses early to allow them to get used to the junior game but you lay the foundation for the future. Now he’s wasted an entire year, has no foundation to build on and the team still stinks. If there was ever a prime candidate to be fired it’s this guy! No passion, zero game management skills, and cannot recruit or keep good players.

DeleteCoach lost the room in October. Filtering players in and out hoping to find chemistry is desperate and poor management. McKee also did this and it produced a weak team and eventually he was let go.
ReplyDeleteI'd take Mckee any day
DeleteI dont think people are whining on this board, I think there is a lot of frustration and neither the owners nor coaches seem to be changing anything, except player personnel on an overly frequent basis, to try to improve
