The Bucks came up big under pressure tonight, earning a 5-1 win over the Texas Brahmas to improve to 27-18-9 (63 points) to move back into a tie for third place in the Southern Conference with the Brahmas, who fell to 29-20-5 (63 points).
The Brahmas will have a chance to take back third place outright when they host the Missouri Mavericks (27-23-4, 58 points), but the Bucks will then have a game in hand on them.
Sylvain Deschatelets is certainly proving to be good find by Coach Ruskowski, as he scored twice and handed out an assist tonight to move his point total with the Bucks to seven in three games.
Darryl Smith had the first four-assist night of his professional career, and Jeff Bes handed out three helpers.
As if chasing the reigning Goaltender of the Week from his net and posting five goals against a team that averages under three goals-against per game, the Bucks apparently got another puck in the twine that was called a no-goal.
You can read more about the game in Bryan Benway's press release, and I'll be sure to ask Coach Ruskowski about it at practice this week.
If there is anything those of you who were there would like to share, please feel free. The best I could get was the game live box because I can't get the radio feeds on my work computer and didn't have my laptop today.

I'll chime in... Joy, you missed a good performance by the Bucks tonight. A completely different team came out to play tonight. The goal in question was not a goal (from my view). I didn't see the puck cross the line, although it did float along the goal line for a while. "Sly" is a good player and has given that top line a boost. Heibert? What Heibert? Everyone seems to have forgotten that he plays for the Brahmas. Tonight however, the whole Brahmas team was a non-factor. Additionally, Pelletier played great too. Nearly had a shutout tonight, but the goal scored by the Brahmas was a screened shot on the P-play. The 2 goals he let in yesterday were scored the same way. He has a fast glove, and gives up few rebounds. I hope that the team keeps up this same level of play next week. A win against Allen could be huge! Go Bucks!
Looks like the Brahmas lost again yesterday. This time 4-2 to the Mavs.
Any news on the team? What happen today at practice?
