Semifinal Game Day No. 6

The Bucks and Allen Americans will square off in Game 6 of their Southern Conference Semifinal series at the Allen Events Center in a couple of hours.

With a 3-2 lead in their possession, the Bucks could clinch the series, and a return to the Southern Conference Finals, with a win tonight.

Of course, they know that won't come easy, and I think everyone involved with the Bucks organization is expecting to see a much stronger Americans team tonight than the one the Bucks captured a 5-1 win over in Game 5.

The Bucks arrived in Allen early last night after practicing in Laredo early yesterday morning, and they hope to be both well-rested and well-prepared for tonight's matchup.

Defenseman Paul Elliott, the only player with an injury of any real concern for the Bucks, will be in the lineup, leaving the Bucks to make a scratch for the fourth straight game.

Matt Radoslovich will be back in the lineup for the Americans, or at least he's available to be, after serving his one-game suspension for his hit on Elliott in Game 4.

You can read more about tonight in my previous blog post, my notebook from today's paper, Bryan Benway's preview and the Pointstreak pre-game notes.

The best way for those of you in Laredo to take in tonight's game would probably be to head over to Hal's Landing for the watch party.

If you can't or don't want to do that, you can watch on CHL-TV in the comfort of your own home, listen on Imagen 94.1 FM or follow it on Pointstreak.

I will try my best to update on here during the game, but I'm alone on desk with a full slate of high school baseball and softball games to be called in, so I make no promises.
