Game 5 of the I-20 Series tonight

Brahmas and Mudbugs at CenturyTel Center

What needs to be said here? The Brahmas (10-5-1) have defeated the Mudbugs (10-4-2) in each of the three games played at the NYTEX Sports Center (3-2, 5-4, 2-1). Did you notice that each win was by one point? Any of those game could have gone the 'Bugs way.

The Brahmas are coming of a loss at home. The 'Bugs are coming off a win at home. The two teams are pretty evenly matched roster-wise. Bossier has better goalie stats but that hasn't mattered against the Brahmas lately. The Brahmas are number two in the league on the powerplay. The 'Bugs are the number three penalty killers.

Give the Mudbugs the advantage of home ice. The 'Bugs creamed the Brahmas in the season opener at the CenturyTel Center by a score of 5-1. And don't discount Muscutt's boys. They are a better team than we have seen at NYTEX.

After their performance last night, the Brahmas (3-3-1 on the road) need a strong showing against a Bossier-Shreveport club that is 6-1-0 at home.

The game starts at 7:05pm and can be seen on Nifty-TV.
