3/30 Game 1 BUGS VS. WICHITA
HORRELL IS SPECTACULAR
Wichita netminder John Horrell stopped 36 of 37 shots to help the Thunder manhandle the Mudbugs 5-1 Friday night at the Centurytel Center. The night didn't start well and it never got any better. Maybe tomorrow night?
TURN OUT THE LIGHTS
Wichita finally put the nail in the coffin on the Mudbugs early in the third period when Travis Clayton jumped the puck at mid ice. Clayton beat sprawled Carroll on a short-handed breakaway goal for a commanding 5-1 lead 2:07 into the third.
WICHITA CONTINUES TO SIZZLE
The Thunder continues to get the breaks and bounces in the 2nd period. Daniel Tetrault deflected the puck past Carroll at 17:10 for a 4-1 Wichita cushion.
OFF THE SNIDE
Bossier-Shreveport finally got off the snide with some great teamwork on the power play. Karlis Zirnis controlled the puck behind the Wichita net before feeding it to Ryan Fairbarn sneaking down the middle. Fairbarn slid the puck past goalminder John Horrell at 6:22 of the second period as the 'Bugs closed the gap to 3-1.
CARROLL HAS ROUGH START
The 2006 Goaltender of the Year in the CHL had a first period he'd like to forget. Ken Carroll, who has a 2.04 goals against average and stops .939 percent of the shots against him, allowed 3 of 12 shots past him in the first 20 minutes. As the horn sounded to end the period, Carroll heaved his stick against the glass in frustration.
LUCKY BREAK FOR WICHITA
Wichita capitalized quickly for a 3-0 lead at 12:55 of the first period when Brian Sutherland deflected Troy Barnes' shot above the glove of Carroll. It appeared Carroll was waiting to stop the shot before the Sutherland changed the direction of the puck into the net.
WICHITA STRIKES AGAIN
The Thunder obviously didn't get stiff-legged on the bus ride from Wichita, KS. Tyler Hanchuck beat Carroll at 9:48 of the first period on the glove side for a 2-0 advantage.

THUNDER STRIKES FIRST
It didn't take long for Wichita to score. Travis Clay cracked one past Ken Carroll's right side on the power play just 55 seconds into the game for a 1-0 lead.
