Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs News Release
BOSSIER CITY, LA - The Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs have two more opportunities to move closer to a CHL Championship on home ice this week in Games 4 and 5 of the Ray Miron Presidents' Cup Finals, presented by Harrah's Louisiana Downs, tonight and tomorrow at the CenturyTel Center. The Colorado Eagles currently lead the best-of-seven series 2-1 coming into Game 4 tonight at 7:05 pm at the CenturyTel Center (playoff package Game "J"), with Game 5 to follow tomorrow at 7:05 (Game "K").
The Mudbugs led 2-0 going into the third period of Game 3 on Tuesday, but Colorado rallied to take a 3-2 lead before adding a late empty-net goal in a 4-2 victory. Although they now trail two games to one, the "ËBugs will have an opportunity to even the series once again with a win tonight. They would then be able to take a 3-2 series lead back to Colorado with another victory tomorrow in Game 5.
