4/1 BUGS at WICHITA, GAME 2
OT NO.2 HEADED OUR WAY
Not often you see so many power plays in overtime, but Saturday's first was full of them. Wichita had parts of three power plays, but didn’t convert. Bossier-Shreveport failed to score on its only chance. The goaltenders continued to put on a clinic. David Cacciola’s only mistake was clearing the puck over the glass and collecting the ensuing two-minute minor that carried over to overtime No. 2.
The Mudbugs have 1:03 to kill to begin the second overtime.
The last time these teams went to double overtime (Game 5 last season) Shane Palahicky scored the game-winner.
TIME: 10:50 p.m.
HEADED TO OT ... AGAIN
For the fourth time in five playoff games, the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs and Wichita Thunder head to overtime.
TIME: 9:52 p.m.
CAN BUGS CONTINUE TO KILL THESE PENALTIES?
Wichita has one of the most potent power-play units in the league. The Thunder are on its seventh chance of the night.
TIME: 9:28 p.m.
THUNDER MAKES BIG STAND
The Mudbugs failed to score during their five-minute power play and Wichita escapes with the game still tied at 1.
Bossier-Shreveport recorded 5 shots during the 5-on-3 time and 1 during 5-on-4.
If the Thunder grab this game, this will certainly be a key stretch.
TIME: 8:44 p.m.
MAJOR POINT IN THIS SERIES
The Mudbugs will have a two-minute 5-on-3 plus a three-minute one-man advantage after Travis Clayton was called for an elbowing major with 7:48 to go in the second period.
If the Thunder survive this disadvantage, you would have to think it would have some serious momentum.
TIME: 8:35 p.m.
DEJA VU
The Mudbugs own a 7-1 second-period shot advantage with 8:42 remaining.
TIME: 8:34 p.m.
MINARD MAKES UNBELIEVABLE DEFENSIVE PLAY
Mudbugs defenseman Craig Minard prevented a sure goal with a sliding stop in front of goaltender David Cacciola. With a Thunder attacker open to Cacciola's left, Minard slid on his back and with a full extention stopped a cross-ice pass with his stick.
Wichita maintains a 1-0 lead.
TIME: 8:12 p.m.
WICHITA TAKES LEAD
Kris Wiebe scored his second goal of the series late in the first period to give the Thunder a 1-0 lead. This game has all the indications it could get ugly. Not a whistle goes by without some dirty stuff.
TIME: 7:47 p.m.
DEFINITE EDGE TO TONIGHT'S AFFAIR
These teams' hate for each other has blossomed early in Saturday's first period. There have already been several scrums, including a fight between Chris Shaw and Ryan McLean.
Still scoreless 10 minutes in.
TIME: 7:24 p.m.
WILDFONG MISSED DENIED ON SHORT-HANDED BREAKAWAY
Dan Wildfong was unable to convert on a short-handed break in the first period. Wildfong took possession at Wichita's blue line and skated in on goaltender Sebastien Laplante. The puck appeared unrulely and was on edge the entire time. Wildfong's last-second backhander went high above the goal and into the netting above the glass.
TIME: 7:16 p.m.
WICHITA MISSED PRIME OPPORTUNITY TO SCORE FIRST
Tyler Liebel missed a back hander at the end of a 2-on-none in the opening moments Saturday and the Mudbugs have already avoided disaster twice. Wichita hit a cross bar just seconds into the game.
TIME: 7:09 p.m.
BACK FROM THE DEAD
Well last night was a mess. At least the Mudbugs only struggled for 10 minutes to start the game. I wasn't so lucky. But I'm near 100 percent and ready to blog for Game 2.
A victory tonight would really give the Mudbugs the upper hand in this series. A loss and things are a lot closer to even.
