4/18 BUGS at COLORADO (GAME 1, L 3-2 in double overtime)

WHAT A GAME
The Colorado Eagles scored three unanswered goals to capture Game 1 of the Northern Conference Finals. The game went into double overtime and was a classic.
The bad news is the Mudbugs controlled play for most of the evening and still didn't win. Whether it was a bad bounce, a post or a spectacular save by Paulo Colaiacovo, Bossier-Shreveport couldn't score after the first period.
It certainly wasn't from a lack of opportunities though.
Game 2 will obviously tell us a lot about this series. It's a near must-win for the Mudbugs -- especially after doing everything but win Tuesday.
TIME: 12:29 a.m.

HEADED TO PERIOD NO. 3 ALL TIED UP
What a second period between the Mudbugs and Eagles. Colorado scored the lone goals, but the final 5 minutes of the frame was exciting playoff action.
TIME: 9:00 p.m.

YA JUST KNEW IT WASNT GOING TO BE EASY
The Colorado Eagles must have received a good tongue lashing during the first intermission and whatever head coach Chris Stewart said worked. The Eagles look like a different squad and the game is tied at 2.
TIME: 8:18 p.m.

MUDBUGS UP 2-0
Stunned. That's all I can say. The Colorado Eagles are the team with a terrible start tonight. I know the Eagles will play better, but right now they are terrible.
Chad Spurr (power play) and Dale Lupul have helped Bossier-Shreveport take an early two-goal lead.
Colaiacovo has no viable backup so the Mudbugs need to pour it on.
TIME: 7:36 p.m.

LIVE FROM LOVELAND
I made it and the game's about to start. Paulo Colaiacovo vs. David Cacciola tonight. Neither Ken Carroll or Jeff Blair is dressed.
TIME: 6:54 (Mountain).
