Game 8 Preview - Vipers @ Eagles

The Vernon Vipers are coming off their best performance of the season on Wednesday Night.  The offense, defense and goaltending were all impressive and the team deserved the 2 points.  They hope to continue that momentum into the weekend.  Tonight is the first of a home and home set with the Surrey Eagles.  The Vipers already hold a victory over the Eagles, although that performance was good for Vernon, it was hard to gauge how these teams stack up.

Lets take a look at the numbers.

Vernon Vipers

Record - 2-2-1-2 - 4th place in Interior Division

Home Record - 1-0-1-2          Away - 1-2-0-0

Leaders - Goals - Mason Blacklock (5)
              - Assists - Demico Hannoun (5)
              - Points - Mason Blacklock (9)

Goaltending - Austin Smith - 4 GP 1-0-1-2, 2.57 GAA, .917Sv%
                   - Danny Todosychuk - 3 GP 1-2-0-0, 4.33 GAA, .865Sv%

Special Teams - Powerplay - 14th in the league - 4 for 29 - 13.79%
                       - Penalty Kill - 6th in the league - 25 of 29 - 86.21%

Surrey Eagles

Record - 4-2-0-0 - 1st place in Mainland Division

Home Record - 1-1-0-0          Away Record - 2-0-0-0

Leaders - Goals - Jonah Renouf (4)
              - Assists - Zane Schartz (7)
              - Points - Braeden Russell (9)

Goaltending - Victor Adamo - 4 GP - 3-1-0-0, 3.16 GAA, .925Sv%
                   - Bo Didur - 2 GP - 1-1-0-0, 3.88 GAA, .886Sv%

This will be the 2nd of 3 meetings between these teams.  If its anything like the first one there will be lots of offense.  Throw in the olympic sized ice surface and it should be a great game.

I hope you'll make time to tune in on Village Green Hotel Vipers Hockey on 1075 KISSFM.  The pre game show starts at 7 with puck drop and the play by play starting at 7:15.
