3/8 BUGS at RIO GRANDE VALLEY (W, 3-1)
SOUPY NETS GAME-WINNER; BUGS FINISH ROAD TRIP IN STYLE
Three third-period goals by the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs led to a 3-1 victory over the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees, one day after the Mudbugs watched a one-goal lead disappear in Hidalgo, Texas.
TIME: 10:13 p.m.
TIE GAME
Brett Smith, like he has so many times this season, pounced on a rebound and scored to tie the game Wednesday night.
TIME: 9:35 p.m.
STILL 1-0 AFTER TWO PERIODS
The Mudbugs definitely enjoyed a better flow during the second period, but still couldn't solve Bees All-Star Evan Lindsay. They trail by one with 20 minutes remaining.
TIME: 9 p.m.
SHEPPARD TAKES HIS TURN WITH THE POST
Sniper Scott Sheppard rang a blast off the post during a 4-on-3 power play midway through the second period. The Mudbugs are attacking well, but still trail 1-0.
TIME: 8:46 p.m.
MUDBUGS PICKING UP THEIR PLAY
Bossier-Shreveport is starting to pressure Rio Grande Valley. With just a one-goal deficit, the Mudbugs could tie this thing at any moment.
TIME: 8:40 p.m.
LINDSAY ROBS MANITOWICH
The Mudbugs finally got a prime scoring opportunity, but Evan Linday -- the Bees' All-Star netminder robbed Ryan Manitowich, who was alone in the slot.
TIME: 8:37 p.m.
SHAW'S PENALTIES WERE FOR
Unsportsmanlike conduct, then a 10-minute misconduct for obscene language.
TIME: 8:18 p.m.
MUDBUGS ON THEIR HEELS AS THE FIRST PERIOD MERCIFULLY ENDS EARLY
Bossier-Shreveport is showing signs of the seven-game road trip tonight. The Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees are unfortunate to only be up 1-0. Thankfully, thanks to another pane of glass coming undone, the period ends 16 seconds early.
TIME: 8:06 p.m.
BEES SCORE FIRST
Dwayne Hay executed a beautiful play to fake Mudbugs netminder David Cacciola out of his shoes, then hit teammate Aaron Phillips with a pass in front of the net. Phillips had no trouble poking the puck into the open goal.
TIME: 8:04 p.m.
MATIC KRALJ UNDRESSES KEMP
Rio Grande Valley forward Matic Kralj danced around Mudbugs defenseman Chad Kemp in the Mudbugs zone, but fired his point-blank shot off the post to keep things scoreless in Rio.
TIME: 7:53 p.m.
NOTHING AGAINST CHRIS SHAW BUT ... IM JUST ASKING
He took a minor penalty and a misconduct moments after the puck was dropped Wednesday night. He has no points this season. He fights every once in a while. What do the Bugs fans think about the effectiveness of Shaw? Leave a comment on the Blog to let me know what you think.
TIME: 7:48 p.m.
BUGS MUST START STRONG
David Cacciola is likely gassed from his performance yesterday afternoon, so the Mudbugs better keep as much pressure off his as they can. If the Bees get as many shots as they did yesterday, I fell Cacciola won't be able to hold Rio off.

Shaw has been the closest thing the 'Bugs have had to an "enforcer/tough guy" all season.
His biggest contribution to the team has been his toughness.
Heading into the playoffs; this is a definate weakness of the team just as it has been all year. At the same time Muskee has chosen not to address this need, so apparently he is happy wiht Shaw!
I'm not sure we got the best end of that trade. I too like Chris, but can't believe he is happy with his position on the team as well.
Hopefully come playoff roster time,there won't be a spot open for him. There is normally not much of a need for an enforcer in the playoffs.
He is not here to score but to give big hits and to take up for his guys. All I want from him tough is solid defense. If he can't provide that than he needs to go, but he has done "OK" for know.
waste of a roster spot. Provides nothing to the team. I've learned that a player can look like a Brawler on paper. Hell I could go out and get my ass kicked every game and roll up 300 PIMS in a season. One word TERRIBLE.
he usually doesnt even win the fights he gets himself into no matter the size of the guy he is fighting
