Sorry for the lack of game day post... busy times at the office. Bryan Benway's preview can provide you some background on this matchup between the Bucks (17-12-7, 41 points) and the Colorado Eagles (23-8-3, 49 points).
You can follow the game on Pointstreak, watch on CHL-TV or listen on Imagen 94.1 for more consistent updates than I will probably be able to provide.
First Period: Couple fights to get things started with Robin Richards taking on former Buck Alex Penner at 4:24 and Jay Holladay and Fraser Filipic following that one up with a fight of their own at 4:26. ... Curtis Billsten has the Bucks on the board with a goal set up by Eric Giosa at 7:53. ... Darryl Smith headed to the box at 8:11 for hooking to put the Eagles on the game's first power play. ... Eagles get another advantage with Billsten called for tripping at 13:00. ... That one came back to bite the Bucks, as Steve Haddon has tied the game with a goal assisted by Brett Lutes and Aaron Schneekloth at 13:40. Eagles outshooting the Bucks 11-6. ... Pier-Olivier Pelletier is in net for the Bucks, by the way. ... Not sure if Jean-Philippe Levasseur should even be on anyone's mind anymore at this point, but he's stopped 30 of 32 shots faced so far to keep the Springfield Falcons in a game you can follow here. ... Bucks got their first power play when Kevin Ulanski went off for hooking at 15:33 but didn't score, then Mike Looby and Lutes took incidental interference and hooking penalties at 19:38 to make it 4-on-4 to close out the period. Todd Griffith and Jason Beatty closed the period out with a fight after the final whistle. This seems to be a pretty physical game so far. ... End of the period, game tied 1-1, Eagles up 12-7 on shots. ... My blog jinx has struck again, as the Falcons lost 3-2 with Levasseur making 33 saves on 36 shots faced.
Second Period: Sorry, but no way I can keep up with these penalties, as the game has turned into quite an all-out brawl. What I can tell you is that Aaron Schneekloth has scored twice, once at even-strength at 5:26 and once on the power play at 19:28, to give the Eagles a 3-1 lead. Then Jeff Bes scored, on assists from Paul Elliott and Jarred Mohr, to make cut that to one. End of the period, Eagles lead 3-2, Eagles up 26-16 on shots.
Third Period: Smith scored twice for the Bucks in the final period, once to tie the game 3-3 at 8:44, but Schneekloth was able to net a hat trick, Ed McGrane had a goal and Ryan Tobler added an empty-netter to give the Eagles the advantage.
Game Over: Bucks lose 6-4, fall to 17-13-7 (41 points). You can read more about the game in Bryan Benway's press release. They'll face the Rapid City Rush in their first-ever game in South Dakota tomorrow night.
