Both conference finals matchups are now tied after the Northern Conference teams went to OT again yesterday, this time with the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs earning a 4-3 win to hand the Rapid City Rush the franchise's first playoff loss.
The Mudbugs and Rush are tied 1-1, as are the Allen Americans and Odessa Jackalopes in the Southern Conference.
Both series will resume on Wednesday.
In the meantime, you can read more about the playoffs in today's Shots from the Point.
As far as non-playoff news goes, the biggest story is the return of Chris Stewart as head coach of the Colorado Eagles, who let Kevin McClelland go after his team was swept in its first playoff round by the Mudbugs in his second season behind the bench.
Obviously, there is a lot of reaction to this move around the league, and you can check out Eagles beat writer Adam Dunivan's blog and Greg Rajan's blog for more info and their takes on the situation.
Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees Vice President of Communications Rich Bocchini also blogged about the firing/hiring, prior to its occurrence, and also mentioned a cruel little thread that popped up on the CHL Forums recently.
Speaking of those forums, it seems Brent Cullaton has left a message for Bucks fans to thank them for their support, which was also the purpose of tonight's season ticket holder party.
I wasn't able to attend the party because I was alone on desk tonight, but we did have a photographer there, and there is quite a massive photo of Evan Schwabe running on tomorrow's sports front page, haha.
That'll do it for me for now, but I will try to keep posting updates until the CHL season is over and, of course, if anything Bucks-related happens anytime soon.
