10/26 (L) MISSISSIPPI 2, BUGS 1
ITS OVER 2-1 RIVERKINGS
Another third-period nightmare. Read about it here:
http://shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071027/SPORTS0303/710270348/1033/SPORTS0303
MISSISSIPPI SCORES TWO QUICK GOALS
Moments after the RiverKings hit the post on a power play, Ryan Held tied the game with a wrist shot from the left circle.
Things got worse for the Mudbugs 58 seconds later when DeCaro was screened on a Steve Makway slap shot from the left point. The puck snuck past the Mudbugs netminder and another third-period disaster was realized.
RIVERKINGS ON POWER PLAY WITH 10 MINS. LEFT
MIDWAY THROUGH THIRD, BUGS UP 1-0
John DeCaro has made some nice stops in the third as the Mudbugs still have a one-goal lead.
BUGS MAKE MOST OF QUIET PERIOD
Bossier-Shreveport took one shot in nearly 17 minutes during the second period. The second was a difference-maker. Brett Smith's goal quieted a Mississippi team finding its groove and sparked the nearly-silent CenturyTel Center.
Bugs lead 1-0 after 2 periods.
BRETT SMITH SCORES SHORTY TO GIVE BUGS LEAD
Brett Smith scored a short-handed goal with 3:03 left to give the Mudbugs a 1-0 lead. Great lead pass from Justin Aikins and Smith beat Sebastien Centomo with a deke and a forehand shot.
ACTION PICKS UP ON THE ICE
No less than three players were sent to the ice in a span of 30 seconds. One RiverKing and two Mudbugs hit the deck and the crowd finally had something to cheer about. No penalties.
QUIET CTC
The CenturyTel Center is as quiet as I've ever heard it in a game the Mudbugs aren't losing. The energy level from the decent-sized crowd reflects the scoreboard: 0-0.
BUGS UNABLE TO CONVERT; TIED AFTER 1
Bossier-Shreveport dominated the shot board (15-6), but the game has yet to see its first goal. Mississippi has a limited number of shots, but several of those were quality as the Mudbugs broke down on the blue line.
John DeCaro and Sebastien Centomo are on top of their game.
The best scoring chance came in the final 20 seconds as the Mudbugs skated in on Centomo with a 2-on-1 short-handed breakaway. Justin Aikins led the way with and Brett Smith. Aikins kept the puck and waited until the last possible second to shoot, but Centomo didn't bite on a possible pass and the game stayed scoreless through 20 minutes.
RIVERKINGS START TO PICK IT UP
Mississippi was quiet early, but has started to pick up its play. The Mudbugs had their chances early, but the RiverKings are beginning to find their way into the Mudbugs' zone easily.
QUIET EARLY
The Mudbugs have controlled the play for the most part, outshooting Mississippi 7-0 in the first 6 minutes. But it's still scoreless.
CENTOMO VS. DECARO
Sebastien Centomo will get his first start in a Mississippi uniform this season. Centomo was acquired this week and sees action right away. I know Mudbugs fans are disappointed Mr. Sterling isn't between the pipes.
FEARLESS PREDICTIONS
Here is a look at some Mudbugs numbers that won't be that way soon:
Brett Smith: 2 games, 0 points, minus-3.
Quade Lightbody: minus-2
Ken Carroll: 5.50 goals-against, .762 save percentage
Justin Aikins: 1 point -- this kid has some hands. Watch the points pileup.
Karlis Zirnis: 0 points???
MUDBUGS ORANGE?
The Mudbugs skated out onto the ice for their warmups in Halloween Costumes, I mean jerseys. They are mainly orange, or perhaps "pumpkin" with black trim. For gaudy Halloween sweaters, they are actually sharp. Let's hope the only nightmares in store tonight come for the boys in white and green.
DECARO IN NET TONIGHT
John DeCaro, who was the hard-luck loser against Mississippi on opening night one week ago, will get the start for the Mudbugs against the RiverKings (1-1) tonight at CenturyTel Center.
TIDBITS
The Mudbugs (0-2) have never lost their first two games in regulation under head coach Scott Muscutt. Bossier-Shreveport will look to avoid going winless in its first three games of a season for the first time in franchise history ... Mississippi won the season open one week ago with a goal from Jason Lawmaster midway through the third period ... Mudbugs defenseman Jason Basile returned to practice Thursday, but head coach Scott Muscutt says the All-Star will likely miss the next three games.
