The Oklahoma Eagle

The Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs brought their game to score a 9-3 victory over the Tulsa Oilers Halloween night at the BOK Center. Ryan Mior held off the Oilers to allow Travis Clayton, Chris Brassard, Tyrel Lucas and Neil Clark to score two goals a piece, while Kevin Cooper scored a single to bring the final tally to 9 goals for the Mudbugs.

Bobby Reed scored the first goal for the Oilers in the 1st period, leaving Tulsa behind by 2 goals (3-1).
Penalty troubles hampered the Oilers, as the Mudbugs scored on five out of seven power play opportunities. Brendon hodge and Jason Lawmaster both scored 1 goal a piece after a Mudbug lead of 9-1, but it was a little too late for the Oilers to recover from such a large lead by the Mudbugs.

Although not a great performance by the Oilers, the small yet enthusiastic crowd of fans cheered on and pushed the Oilers to perform better as each period went by.  I urge Tulsans to come and show their support for our boys and to enjoy what Tulsa has provided it’s citizens, the BOK Center.
