GOING TO OVERTIME
OH NO. IS IT HAPPENING AGAIN?
Anders Strome scores with just more than 4 minutes left to tie the game at 3.
GOAL LIGHT ON, NO GOAL
Dale Lupul rang a slap shot off the post during a power play in the third period, but the goal judge put the light on. Everyone in Texas still working out the kinks.
BUGS TAKE LEAD LATE IN SECOND
Darryl Lloyd scored with 3:05 left in the second period to give the Mudbugs a 3-2 lead. David Cacciola vehemently argued with referee Steve Cruickshank that the puck did not cross the goal line. Couldn't tell from my point of view as there was chaos in front of the Brahmas' net and Cacciola was sprawling like a mad man.
GOALS FAST AND FURIOUS NOW; BRAHMAS TIE IT UP
Scott Sheppard scores to tie the game at 2. It's the "former Mudbugs show" tonight at NYTEX Sports Centre.
PEGORARO PUTS BUGS ON TOP
Daniel Pegoraro scored on a freakish back-handed whack and the Mudbugs own a 2-1 lead midway through the second period.
BUGS TIE IT UP
Not long after Cacciola single-handedly snuff the Mudbugs’ back-to-back power play chances, the Mudbugs tied the game on Tyrel Lucas’ first professional goal. Daniel Pegoraro streaked down the right wing and sent a backhanded pass across the middle of the ice. Lucas took the pass and his powerful wrist shot barely snuck the puck past Cacciola glove side.
BRAHMAS KILL OFF 4-MINUTES OF PENALTIES
Still 1-0 with 15:55 left.
TRIPLE-MINOR??? HAHA
I've never seen a triple-minor, but I did tonight. Big Snake was assessed a triple-minor for roughing and a 2-minute minor for unsportsmanlike conduct. Not so much a team-player move. I'm pretty sure Dan Wildfong, the king of minor penalties, ever got a triple-minor.
BUGS START SECOND ON 4-MIN POWER PLAY
Big Snake's antics cost his team.
NO SURPRISE HERE: LET'S GET CHIPPY
Robin Big Snake has made his presence felt tonight. With a name like that it's hard not to. The Brahmas forward dropped the gloves with Mudbugs captain Chris Brassard after the first-period horn. The final seconds of the period took about 10 minutes as there were clock issues and then a nice scrap as the teams attempted to leave the ice.
Brassard and Quade Lightbody both told Mr. Big Snake they wanted a piece. We'll see if it develops. Bottom line: The Mudbugs trail 1-0. Maybe this is a good thing. They haven't been able to hold a lead, so let's try to come from behind.
BRAHMAS TAKE LEAD WITH PP GOAL
A beautiful centering pass from former Mudbug Blair Manning, who was stationed behind the net to John DeCaro’s left, led to a one-timer and a goal from Anders Strome with 1:54 left in the first period. Another former Bossier-Shreveport player, Scott Sheppard, got the secondary assist.
BUGS' PP GOES 0-2
I'm not qualified to coach or even question anyone regarding pro hockey. But during the Mudbugs' second power play tonight, all 150 pounds of Brett Smith was parked in front of the net.
Does this seem weird? The defenseman guarding Texas' crease looked a foot taller and about 80 pounds heavier.
ACTION FAST EARLY
Both teams seem to have their legs in the early moment. Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs' Karlis Zirnis had the best chance to score thus far, but was stopped by David Cacciola in the slot.
ATT, WE HAVE A PROBLEM
Mudbugs broadcaster Travis Huntington is doing play-by-play tonight with his cell phone as the folks here at NYTEX Sports Centre did not have a phone line available for the radio broadcast. Oops.
BUGS FANS HONORED AT PREGAME CEREMONY
Brahmas general manager Mike Barack thanked the large group of Mudbugs fans in attendance during a pregame ceremony kicking off the rebirth of the Brahmas franchise.
WILDFONG BECOMING THE MAYOR OVER HERE ALREADY?
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram had a full page spread on the Texas Brahmas today. The newspaper also sent TWO photographers to tonight's game. I can tell you, I've never seen that type of coverage for the Brahmas in this area. Kudos to Wildfong for pounding the pavement and the Star-Telegram for seeing this guy is something special.
JOHN DECARO GETS START IN NET FOR BUGS
He will face former Mudbugs goalie David Cacciola.
GREETINGS FROM NORTH RICHLAND HILLS!
The world isn't over and the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs, despite three straight losses, have arrived in Texas to play the Brahmas tonight. This building is small, about 2,200 capacity, but it's going to be loud tonight.
