3/10 BUGS VS. YOUNGSTOWN (L, 8-3)
SATURDAY'S TIMES A MUST READ
Scott Muscutt, Jean Laforest and Jeff Christian talk about Friday's blowout at the CenturyTel Center. Christian scored 50 and 51, but Muscutt wasn't too happy with his on-ice behavior.
Audio from these three will go up sometime Saturday. Laforest talks about today's article about the 1998-99 Mudbugs vs. this year's Mudbugs squad.
YOUNGSTOWN BEATS DOWN BUGS
It's 6-3 thanks to some horrific defense in the Mudbugs' return to the CenturyTel Center. So much going on, trying to catch up. 10 minutes left, SteelHounds could get to double digits.
TIME: 9:12 p.m.
BUGS GIVE UP KILLER SHORT-HANDED GOAL
Special teams could tell the story again tonight in this series finale. Jeff Christian showed why he's an MVP candidate when he raced the length of the ice and scored a short-handed goal in the final minute of the second period.
The goal was setup by a horrible turnover in the SteelHounds' zone as Chris Brassard left a drop pass for Craig Minard at the point. Only one problem -- Minard was in no man's land and Christian intercepted.
TIME: 8:43 p.m.
SPURR UNDRESSES ANOTHER GOALIE
Chad Spurr tied the game at 2 with a wraparound goal midway throught the second period.
TIME: 8:26 p.m.
KEMP GOES DOWN
First it's Chris Shaw, not defenseman Chad Kemp. Kemp had to be helped off the ice in the second period.
Dale Lupul didn't dress, Shaw was hurt in the first, now Kemp. Half the D-core is down.
TIME: 8:17 p.m.
CHRISTIAN COLLECTS NO. 50
Jeff Christian scored his 50th goal of the season midway through the second period and Youngstown has taken a 2-1 lead at the CTC.
TIME: 8:14 p.m.
5-on-3 GOES BY WITHOUT A GOAL
The Mudbugs moved the puck well and Chris Brassard rang one off the post and was robbed by David St. Germain as the Mudbugs failed to score on the 5-on-3 to start the second.
TIME: 8:05 p.m.
IMPORTANT 1:37 COMING UP
The Mudbugs will have nearly a full 5-on-3 power play to begin the second period after a couple questionable calls by referee Keith Kaval.
Youngstown -- also aided by a few interesting calls -- scored on a 5-on-3 to take a 1-0 lead in the first.
TIME: 7:46 p.m.
SMITH TIES IT UP
Brett Smith showed incredible accuracy to score from the left circle with 2 minutes left in the first period. The game is tied at 1.
TIME: 7:38
HOUNDS GET FACIAL; LEAD 1-0
Kelly Sickavish had a puck bounce off his face -- yes his face -- and over the shoulder of David Cacciola to give Youngstown a 1-0 lead during a 5-on-3 power play.
TIME: 7:37 p.m.
SHAW BACK ON BENCH
It appeared serious, but Chris Shaw is back in the Mudbugs' bench with 7 minutes left in the first period. He went back in the ice paired with Quade Lightbody.
TIME: 7:27 p.m.
CHRIS SHAW GOES DOWN
Defenseman Chris Shaw was in agony after going down in his own zone with what appears to be a significant injury. With the Mudbugs' lack of depth at the blue line, this is not good. Shaw skated with assistance to the locker room holding his lower back.
TIME: 7:20 p.m.
STEELHOUNDS PASS ON NATIONAL ANTHEM, BANNER UNVEILING
In a move a little disrespectful as far as I can see, Youngstown coach Jean Laforest did not send out his team until the very last second at the CenturyTel Center on Friday.
The visitor's bench was empty for the Star Spangled Banner (please people learn the words if you're going to sing it) and the unveiling of the Northeast Division championship banner.
If I was Laforest, I would have had my team -- behind 30 points in the standings -- out there to show them what they are playing for next season.
TIME: 7:12 p.m.
BUGS GET WELL-DESERVED STANDING "O"
The Mudbugs' fans haven't seen their team since the middle of February, and since then, the team has gone 6-0-1. The fans greeted the boys in teal and purple with a standing ovation.
TIME: 7:02 p.m.
