TEXAS WINS 5-4
An inexplicable meltdown for the Mudbugs in the third period leads to an 0-2 record after the first weekend of play. Kudos to Dan Wildfong for rally his Brahmas, who were dominated for 40 minutes of play.
Thoughts
Chris Brassard did his part with a hat trick.
What happened to Ken Carroll?
The Scott Sheppard-Blair Manning-Anders Stromme line is going to put up a pile of points this season.
Texas was awful defensively early, but with David Cacciola in net, the Brahmas will be in many games they shouldn't be in this season.
Look for the game story at shreveporttimes.com and in Sunday's editions of The Times.
BRAHMAS LEAD 5-3
BRAHMAS TIE IT UP
Anders Strome scored on a deflection midway through the third period and we are tied at 3.
BRAHMAS POWERLESS
Texas again failed to record a shot on a power play. Four power plays, 0 shots and the Bugs still lead.
PP STALLS; BUGS STILL LEAD 3-2
The Mudbugs are currently outshooting Texas 30-8.
BUGS EMPTY ON PP; MAINTAIN 3-2 LEAD
The Mudbugs are having the best of special teams play (10 power-play shots to 0), but couldn't get the puck past David Cacciola during a power play late in the second period.
BRASSARD NETS HAT TRICK
Chris Brassard gets his third goal of the game just 9 minutes into the second period and the Mudbugs have another lead. Darryl Lloyd has assisted on all three of Brassard's goals.
BRAHMAS TIE IT UP
Grant Jacobsen scores early in the second period.
THREE PPs FOR THE BRAHMAS, 0 SHOTS ON GOAL
The Mudbugs stand strong again and thwart Texas' third power play.
BUGS LEAD 2-1 AFTER FIRST PERIOD; BRAHMAS ON PP
Texas will have 1:54 left on a 4-on-3 power play that will turn into a 5-on-4 when the second period resumes. The Brahmas are down simply for the fact they have been unable to control the puck around their own net.
TOO MENY MEN FOR BUGS; BRAHMAS DON'T CAPITILIZE
Texas is still without a shot on two power-play chances.
BRASSARD SCORES ON PP
The Mudbugs took a 2-1 lead with 6:34 remaining in the first when Chris Brassard gets his second goal of the game -- a rebound off a Darryl Lloyd centering feed.
BRAHMAS GET FIRST POWER PLAY; RECORD 0 SHOTS
Texas falls to 0 for 1 on the power play after failing to record a shot with the man-advantage.
BRASSARD LAYS THE WOOD TO BRAHMAS FORWARD
Chris Brassard got the best of Greg McConnell in a first-period fight, much to the delight of the crowd here at CenturyTel Center. It appeared two separate lefts stunned the Brahma before he was slammed to the ice by the Bugs captain.
BRASSARD ANSWERS
Mudbugs new captain Chris Brassard got his own rebound after Brahmas defenseman Mike Vellinga whiffed on a clearing attempt and the Mudbugs have tied the score at 1 just 2:39 into the game.
FORMER BUGS STRIKE FIRST
Blair Manning fed Scott Sheppard with a beautiful pass and the former Bugs combined to score 33 seconds into the game. Wow.
HONORING NO. 10
Dan Wildfong was honored by the Mudbugs before the game. In addition to a video presentation, he was presented with a stunning painting containing various images of him in a Mudbugs uniform.
Wildfong and Mudbugs head coach Scott Muscutt embraced briefly before Wildfong retreated to his post on the opposite bench.
The Mudbugs have never retired a number. If they didn't retire No. 10, they never will retire one.
FORMER TANDEM AT OPPOSITE ENDS
Former Mudbugs goaltender David Cacciola gets the start for Texas tonight while Ken Carroll will be between the pipes for the Mudbugs.
WE'RE ABOUT TO BEGIN
Welcome back to hockey, folks. The 2007-08 season is underway and we have a doozy in store tonight at CenturyTel Center.
Dan Wildfong is back in the building ... as the enemy! Wildfong's Texas Brahmas, who won last night are here to try and keep the Mudbugs winless. Wildfong isn't the only familiar face. Forbes MacPherson is Wildfong's assistant and they signed former Bugs Scott Sheppard, Blair Manning, David Cacciola and Craig Minard.
Sheppard scored twice in the Brahmas' opener and Manning tallied the game-winner at Austin with less than 3 minutes to go.
