Is special teams prowess the key to BCHL success? The Vernon Vipers and Brooks Bandits put on a power play clinic, but the Bandits 5 for 8 conversion rate clearly made the difference. Does this signal a shift towards prioritizing special teams development in the league? Are we going to see more teams adopt this high-risk, high-reward strategy?

Luke Bibby's two goals weren't enough for the Vipers, raising the question: can individual brilliance overcome systemic deficiencies in special teams? Where does goaltending fit into this equation, considering both Kykkanen and Bilic faced a barrage of shots?

The Vipers now face the Spruce Grove Saints. Could this be a trap game for the Saints, or will the Vipers power play woes continue to haunt them? Bold prediction: This game will be decided by a single special teams goal. Share your predictions and discuss!
