Quick Note

My brain is trying to process about a billion things right now, so I don't have much time to blog, but I did want to remind you that tomorrow is "Pack the House for Charity" night for Game 3 of the Bucks' Southern Conference Semifinal series.

As I've previously blogged and written about, Laredo Energy and Border Lease Services purchased all of the tickets to this game so they can be sold for $5 apiece and have all proceeds donated to the South Texas Food Bank and the Sacred Heart Children's Home.

You can read more about this in Bryan Benway's preview for tomorrow night's game, which could give the Bucks a 3-0 series lead over the Odessa Jackalopes if they win.

Bryan mentioned at practice this morning that the Bucks are 9-0 all-time in playoff series in which they have taken 2-0 leads to start, including the one against the Jackalopes last year.

But back to the charity aspect of the game, the Bucks took donations from players and front office members yesterday to buy tickets for the kids who live at the Sacred Heart Children's Home and were able to get tickets for 60 kids there, plus others throughout Laredo.

You can read more about that in Bryan's press release.

Oh, and Bucky is still in jail.

But anyway, the Colorado Eagles staged a comeback to earn a 4-3 win over the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs in Game 2 of their Northern Conference Semifinal series. The game-winner was scored with 32 seconds left to play by Most Outstanding Defenseman Aaron Schneekloth and gave the Eagles a 2-0 series lead.

Mudbugs coach Scott Muscutt earned a variety of misconduct penalties at the end of the game, as did Quade Lightbody.

Adam Dunivan was at the game and had this story for the Loveland Reporter-Herald which was also picked up by The Shreveport Times.

Meanwhile, Hap Fry (seriously) had this amusingly-headlined story for The Coloradoan. Pretty cool photo they nabbed.

That about covers it, but before I go, here's my notebook for this week. No CHL games tonight.
