4/29 BUGS at LAREDO (GAME 2, President's Cup Finals) L, 3-1
UPON FURTHER REVIEW
Channel 12 made the trip to Laredo, Texas, and after reviewing their tape of the penalty in question on Chris Brassard, the Mudbugs veteran did throw an elbow to Bucks goaltender David Lemanowicz.
Referee Paul DePuydt was AT LEAST half right.
I also believe Lemanowicz caused interference with Brassard, who did make an attempt to get out of his way, but the Bucks goalie still sent Brassard to the ice.
So maybe there should have been offsetting calls, but either way, Brassard was a very undisciplined play.
Just as Brassard got to the netminder in the hopes of pouncing on a rebound, Brassard slightly extended his left elbow, which glanced off the mask of Lemanowicz.
Even if the penalty would have been a poor call -- which it wasn't -- the Mudbugs did not lose because of it. One goal will not win you a hockey game -- ask Colorado head coach Chris Stewart. For a look at Channel 12's video, watch Mike Dirmann's sportscast at 10 p.m. Sunday night.
TIME: 1:01 a.m.
BUCKS TALLY ON THE POWER PLAY
The difference in this series. The Bucks' power play is on fire. The Mudbugs is putrid.
TIME: 10 p.m.
NIL
Another power play, another doughnut for the Bugs. Bossier-Shreveport has a total of five shots on six power plays tonight.
TIME: 9:42 p.m.
NADA, NOTHING, ZERO
The Mudbugs amounted absolutely no scoring chances during their four-minute power play. The game remains tied at 1, thanks solely to Ken Carroll.
TIME: 9:36 p.m.
BUGS POWER PLAY MUST COME THROUGH
The Mudbugs have a chance to steal a game and momentum in the series with the final 1:58 of a double minor call to Laredo's Steve Weidlich.
Bossier-Shreveport is 0 for 4 with the man-advantage tonight. That must change.
TIME: 9:21 p.m.
FEARLESS PREDICTION
Scott Muscutt will go bonkers when asked about the elbowing call on Mudbugs veteran Chris Brassard early in the second period.
Brassard was given two minutes for having his head taken off by Laredo netminder David Lemanowicz. The Bucks were awarded a 5-on-3 and scored the tying goal.
TIME: 9:01 p.m.
IS IT HOOKING OR DIVING? SERIOUSLY THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
Yet another simultaneous hooking and diving call. Is it hooking or is it diving? If the league is trying to curb diving ... THEN CALL DIVING ONLY! I have never seen it in any game, although Duane Lewis says it's happened. How many times?
It's such an easy way out for the official. It's a joke.
TIME: 8:58 p.m.
GOOD OPENING 20 ... BUT
This Laredo team is scary. The Mudbugs smothered them for the most part, but the Bucks look like they can strike at any moment. Bossier-Shreveport must continue to leave Laredo no room to work whatsoever.
Great opening period by Ken Carroll, who made a key save early and was full of confidence.
TIME: 8:18 p.m.
HARD HITS, SHOTS AND PUCK POSSESSION
Now this is the President's Cup Finals.
There have been more body checks thrown in the first five minutes of Saturday's affair than the entire powder puff affair of Game 1.
TIME: 7:50 p.m.
ANYTHING YOU CAN DO ...
One night after Laredo scored 49 seconds into Game 1, the Mudbugs scored 18 second into Game 2 when Blair Manning lifted a puck past David Lemanowicz from a hard angle.
This is exactly what the Mudbugs needed.
TIME: 7:44 p.m.
ANOTHER DISAPPOINTING CROWD
Apathy has apparently set in near the border. The Bucks are nowhere near a sellout for the second straight night. Tonight's crowd appears to be smaller than last night's 5,800 effort.
Not a good sign for the CHL. What if Laredo starts losing?
TIME: 7:30 p.m.
DALE HENRY, BRAIN SHANTZ IN DA HOUSE
Two former Mudbugs have graced the Laredo Entertainment Center on Saturday.
TIME: 7:13 p.m.
BUCKS COUNTER WITH LEMANOWICZ
David Lemanowicz will be between the pipes for Laredo.
TIME: 6:58 p.m.
THERE IS STILL A 34 JERSEY IN BLACK
Ken Carroll was the first Mudbug to take the ice during the pregame warmups for the first time since Feb. 24.
Carroll will carry a 12-game winning streak into tonight.
TIME: 6:57 p.m.
CARROLL IS EXPECTED TO START GAME 2
The reigning CHL Most Outstanding Goaltender will make his first start since Feb. 24. David Cacciola's run of 25 straight games comes to an end.
