How will the Vipers do tonight?
Make your predictions, Who will win and what will be the final score?
Bout’ time
YA but, what is to stop people from copying other posters names, this move is a start in the right direction DieHard but, more needs to be done!
I will help keep Anonymous away
Good move Diehard. At least now we can carry on a hockey conversation and know who were responding to. For the first time in years were excited to see what our team will become. Mark Ferners teams always needed till Christmas to gel, so lets not dump on them if they have a rough start. There are some highly talented and experienced players in the lineup. 5-4 Vipers
