If the Vernon Vipers bring the type of energy and emotion from last nights game into tonight, there is a good possibility the Vipers could come out with two points. The Vipers got away from their game for just a few minutes last night and it cost them in a 2-1 loss to the Vees. There were a lot of positives to take out of the game and the Snakes will look to carry it into tonight against the Express. As for Coquitlam, they come in after a tough outing in West Kelowna. They were down early and couldn't recover as they would lose 7-2. Coquitlam has battled consistency all season long and will look for their first win in 2014. They have a ton of speed and offense, we'll see how they handle the big rugged defenders of the Vipers.
