4/28 BUGS at LAREDO (GAME 1, President's Cup Finals) L, 4-2
THIS WAS A PRESIDENT'S CUP GAME????
There was no chippiness, a lack of intensity, no great drama and one hard hit. This was a very disappointing hockey game. The Mudbugs have no excuse for coming out flat.
It's one thing to get beat, but they usually go out with a fight, a whitewash, a little smack talk ... something.
Laredo didn't bring a physcial game by any stretch of the imagination.
Overall, just a really disappointing effort for Bossier-Shreveport, and in reality, any fan who watched this boring affair.
Saturday becomes crucial for the Mudbugs, who can leave South Texas with a great feeling if they win. Tonight will be completely forgotten in that case.
I'm giving a call to Ken Carroll.
Let me say this first, David Cacciola was not the reason the Mudbugs lost. But if Carroll doesn't play Saturday, he will never get in this series. It could give the Mudbugs' the extra early jump which will be greatly needed.
TIME: 1:56 a.m.
4-2 BUCKS FINAL
MUDBUGS IMPROVED, BUT LAREDO STANDS STRONG
Bossier-Shreveport has appeared to stymie the Bucks' offense, but the lead remains 4-2 for Laredo.
TIME: 10:01 p.m.
ONE MORE GOAL AND CARROLL NEEDS TO SEE ACTION
Laredo leads 4-2 and if the Bucks can make it a three-goal lead, I would be shocked if Ken Carroll doesn't see action.
If indeed he's 100 percent, he needs some game action before starting any game in this series.
And this is no knock against David Cacciola, he's been phenominal, but you have to try to make the best of a bad situation.
TIME: 9:07 p.m.
BEST GETS THE H-T
Jeff Bes scored his third goal of the game midway throught the second.
TIME: 9:02 p.m.
CARROLL LENDS HELPING HAND
Ken Carroll, on the bench for the 25th straight time Friday, helped the officials tape up a loose piece of padding next to the bench.
TIME: 8:57 p.m.
PALAHICKY GETS THE BUGS CLOSER
After a rare mistake by Laredo goaltender Dov Grumet-Morris, Shane Palahicky poked a puck into the net and the Mudbugs are back within one.
TIME: 8:43 p.m.
BES SCORES ANOTHER ON THE POWER PLAY
Jeff Bes is one of the most dangerous players in the league and he's had plenty of room to work this evening. He scores with roughly 20 seconds remaining in the first period and the Bucks regained the momentum and a two-goal lead heading into the intermission.
The Mudbugs will begin the second period with nearly two minutes remaining on their fourth power play chance.
TIME: 8:19 p.m.
BASILE CUTS LAREDO LEAD IN HALF
Mudbugs defenseman Jason Basile scored on a slap shot on a power play to give the Mudbugs their first goal of the Finals.
TIME: 8:07 p.m.
THINGS HAVE CALMED ... FOR NOW
The Mudbugs have found their legs a bit and the all-out Laredo attack has been quieted for now. Still, it's 2-0 Bucks.
TIME: 7:59 p.m.
CURRENTLY POWERLESS
The Mudbugs have no shots on goal despite two full power-play opportunities. Laredo has five shots and two goals.
TIME: 7:53 p.m.
DEER CORN?
It appears the Bucks fans have a new tradition of throwing deer corn on the ice following a Bucks goal.
TIME: 7:49 p.m.
BUCKS ARE READY. ANY QUESTIONS?
Laredo, despite a poor showing by the crowd here in Game 1, are dominating the early moments. Would be beneficial for Bossier-Shreveport to get a goal in this period to have something positive to take into the rest of the game.
TIME: 7:48 p.m.
DEFENDING CHAMPS STRIKE FIRST ... AND SECOND
Nick Warriner used a no-look backhand to roof one past David Cacciola just 49 seconds into Game 1. Laredo leads 1-0.
Jeff Bes completed a perfect power-play rush 16 seconds into the Bucks' first chance. It's 2-0 quickly.
The Mudbugs scored first in four of the five games against Colorado in the Northern Conference Finals.
TIME: 7:43 p.m.
CACCIOLA/GRUMET-MORRIS IN NET
No shocker here, but it's a battle of rookies between the pipes.
TIME: 7:09 p.m.
RUFUS IS IN THE HOUSE!
Rufus Lopez, red beret and all, has just graced the press box with his presence. The Bugs fans have yet to get in line for the autographs.
TIME: 6:57 p.m.
THE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED
The 2006 President's Cup Finals have arrived and the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs and Laredo Bucks are set to do battle at the Laredo Entertainment Center.
