I listened to the game on radio, It was not a great start to our first Alberta road trip this season it sounded like a couple missed calls (referring) that might of helped . But also playing a top team in the east interior division that can score. Vipers probably have to play a little better defensively next game. Once they go over video and have a meeting about the game they will rebound in Friday’s game. Go Vipers Go

I watched tonight's Vipers-Oilers game on flohockey but had to watch the home/Oilers broadcast as the away/Vipers broadcast had technical difficulties all night and the feed was cutting in and out every thirty seconds or so.

Heading into tonight's game, I sure didn't see this one coming. I thought both teams were pretty even in the 1st period, the Oilers were by far the better team in the 2nd period, carried and controlled a lot of the play. Okotoks aggressive forecheck, gave the Vipers all kinds of troubles, while the Oilers goaltending and defensive play shutdown Vernon's offence. The Snakes couldn't capitalize on a couple of high danger chances, gave up a lot of odd man rushes and scoring chances. The Oilers put the game away in the 3rd period. The Vipers gave up way too many odd man rushes, gave up way too many shots and way too many opportunities. For a team that has been very good at defending and keeping the puck out of their net, struggled tonight. The Oilers played well defensively and did a good job at shutting down the Snakes offence. Justin Giguere was very good between the pipes, made a couple of large saves in the 1st and early in the 2nd period before the Oilers blew the game open. The Vipers who are undefeated at home, are now 3-2-1-0 on the road. The Vipers are 1-4-0-0 all-time in Okotoks since the Oilers joined the BCHL in 2024. A very small crowd in Okotoks, with a lot of empty seats. Not a great way to start the road trip.

Wow I am surprised about the score since the Vipers have the much better record
