Whoa

I must admit, when I saw the Mississippi RiverKings go down 4-0 to the Colorado Eagles in the first period of Game 4 of a series they were losing 3-0, I kinda started to count them out.

Former Buck Matt Summers wasn't having that.

He scored his team's first goal before the period ended, assisted on the next in the second and after the RiverKings tied it and kept it that way through the first OT period, he scored a double-OT game winner.

The RiverKings still have quite a climb ahead of them, but winning 6-5 in double overtime can't be too bad for morale, in spite of another former Buck (Kevin Beech) struggling in goal.

His replacement, Tyler Sims, got the game's No. 2 star, while Matt got the No. 1.

In the Southern Conference Finals, the Odessa Jackalopes evened the series at three games apiece with a 2-0 win over the Texas Brahmas tonight.

NHL-wise... well, I don't really feel like talking about that right now.
